Ebay anyone.............

Sometimes this happens to me but I wait a week or two and relist, The trick about listing is only comment to five at a time won't be that many pictures and try to find similiar items already listed and copy and paste. It works for me and saves time.

I get mad when others plagiarize what I spent a long time writing. Once I was selling a 1907 Cornet, and it involved a LOT of research to figure out what the serial number meant and when and where it was made. And someone else saw it, had one too, and put their up and it sold for more, with my EXACT description! I was so mad! If they had asked, it might have been okay. But they just stole my research and made money off it.

Sorry, did you say you did research and than put every bit of your research in your own words. Buddy get over it, if you are selling the exact same item as some else why would you waste your valable time retyping all the extras. I use my own picture and normally there are lots of the same exact items - like the one that I sold. It was a camera and the person I copied and pasted type the info as it appeared on the packaging, who copied who.

I've had it happen before where I put something up that was worth $2,000 and it only went to $500. You can set a reserve but I did not. The thing ended up not really selling because the out of country buyer never sent the check. So that was the end of me selling things to people out of the country.

I guess this could happen, I have heard people paying 500.00 and selling for 2300.00 so it works both ways. Set a reserve if you are worried. I always do a rearch to see if simialer items are selling and what the auction end for. Smaller items I take my chance. I once sold a used harley davidson jacket for $80.00. I owned the jacket for 5 years, yes I paid over $200.00, but I wore the jacket and no longer like the design. So salvation army and garage sale would have brought me near to nothing ebay was the way to go. I still have a garage sale for those other items that won't sell or hadr to ship.

Thanks, have a great evening.

Thank you I will do that

What do you sell. I'm would be interested it doing ebay full time.

I agree with the small sale items, but I try to list at leat 3-5 thimgs and than I make 1 trip to post office.

I don't know about selling, because I haven't sold anything on ebay. However, I am an official ebay freak! LOL i love ebay, i've gotten tons of things off of there....it's somewhat of an addiction for me, there should be a support group for it.

Are you the cookie from sherk? You are right extra money.

Yes, it's nice to be able to make a little extra money from your stuff once in awhile. Plus you need to get rid of stuff too.

Way to go.........I love ebay.........No more giving things away to family, friend and neighbors.....Sell, Sell, Sell, just kidding we still pass around the kids cloths and furniture.

Sorry to here that, if you had your madian name back could that help out.

Right you are and thank you for add this to my post.

I leave money on my paypal account for the same reason. try this put have back in your bank account and allow the other half for spending.

Pay with a credit card, if it doesn't show up you can dispute the charges and get your money back. I only buy things with credit cards on Ebay, I have gotten stiffed a few times. So if you can dispute it, it is much easier to get your money back for larger purchases.

Ebay is very safe. No scams. I have sold and purchased off ebay. I use paypal or credit card. If you choose credit card you can always call card company if merchandise does not arrive.

To open a sellers account you have to put some kind of credit card information in that they deduct the fees from.

After you sell something you can go in and pay the fees and they won't deduct them. But they have to have a credit card on file just to open the account. What I did though, was I requested the paypal debit card. Works as a mastercard. Then put that one on there.
