Re: eBay.
Have been a regular buyer/seller on e bay for a while now,i recommend that you enrole with the paypal team for the secure online payments which is bloody good.also i never accept any cheques or c.o.d .
go garinda have fun but dont sell your body |
Re: eBay.
Scooby ... why dont you take cheques ?
In over 700+ transactions ive only ever had 1 bounce and i hadnt sent off the goods so it didnt loose me anything. If you do accept cheques Garinda always allow at least 5 days for them to clear. Paypal is great but you also have to be aware that the buyer if not happy with goods can tell paypal that the goods never arrived and do a charge back ! Always get a proof of postage by the way from the post office when you ship out the goods. Postal orders are a great form of payment, they are 100% guaranteed not to bounce and are treated as cash at the post office, you can also bank these. Chrissie |
Re: eBay.
Never give your own email out. Always go through the ebay messages system.
And never buy anything off anyone who suggests that you don't buy through ebay but go to them direct. |
Re: eBay.
Thanks for all your advice and tips, I'll buy you all a drink when I've made my fortune.:)

Re: eBay.
I know my eldest lad goes on e-bay but I just daren't cos I just know I would get addicted!!!
Funny story though My mum saw some glazed garden plant pots and put a bid in for them and was really proud of herself when she came out on top... until they arrived and they were only big enough to fit in a dolls house...about an inch high. At least she saw the funny side cos it was her own fault as the seller had put the full dimensions on the ad she just hadn't read them!! doh! :) |

Re: eBay.
Ebay is gr8 ive had to stop myself getting led into temptation n no funds in bank atm helps the cause LOL. Register with paypal its instant payment but there is a 5% sellers fee for the priviledge on each sale i think but not for buyers :). Always view feedback on buyers/sellers it helps to give an insight into ppl u is dealing with, they have selling tips on site to help u maximise yr sales. U can view other ppls selling items that are simular to yrs to give u a selling price & check postage so that u claim the right postage back from buyer.
Get plenty of packaging stuff n bubblewrap n you is on your way :) Good luck |
Re: eBay.
Ebay is great fun. I've bought some really interesting things on there and had some real bargains. I did once manage to sell something at a loss because I forgot to put a reserve and the postage came to more than my estimate! Fortunately I didn' lose much and we learn from our mistakes.
It's a fact that regulars are wary of buying from newbies with zero feedback because thre have been too many con artists who take your money and then run, the next thing you know "this person is no longer a registered member" but you can bet your boots they have registered again under another name to do exactly the same thing. There are also people who offer "bargains" until you check out the exhorbitant postage rates. It's a bit like the people who set up near markets and sell "out of a suitcase" - caveat emptor. However, most people are genuine and once you get some positive feedback you'll be well away. Now, what are you selling Rindy? Can you give us the link so we can come over and have a butchers? ;) |
Re: eBay.
Hee hee, I'm still keeping an eye on what happens, but will post when my first sale goes up. I have cupboards of stuff I never ever use or appreciate anymore, even though I moved three times in four years, and had I thought cleared a lot of stuff to the charity shop.
