Sell as is item for $100.
Message buyer to ensure they understand no returns.
They say ok.
They get it, and leave negative feedback saying it doesn't include parts that weren't said to be included.
They start bogus return request saying it doesn't match description so I have to accept the return.
Buyer then states they will commit insurance fraud for $2000 if I don't accept the return.
huh? What's up with these crazy buyers lately?
what
fpbp
Many such cases!
I've been occasionally selling things on eBay since the early 2000s, buyers have always been like this.
What do you sell
try to change payout bank account
go through the many hoops
finish the process
no message or confirmation that the request has been received
still shows old account
still paying out to old account
don't dare open a ticket with thole dirty jeet ebay customer service
I hate this company so much.
electronics
They're subcontracted Filipinos
You have to have a high end subscription to get real CS.
Sellers get what they deserve for the rampant shill bidding that every single one of them engages in.
Stop pumping your own prices up with side accounts, faggots.
everything is a scam everyone is a scammer.
Bullshit ebay monitors this and strictly enforces it. The problem is people don’t have to pay. I’ve heard some buyers will type in like $5,000 to make sure they get the winning bid and if it’s too high they just won’t pay
Bullshit ebay monitors this and strictly enforces it.
No they don't. Shill bidding is the most prevalent problem on eBay. Just sellers artificially inflating their prices with second accounts, not paying themselves because they win, and then relisting for an inflated price because "look it sells for that high!"
Fuck seller scum.
My problem is specifically with Warhammer models on ebay. Why do people sell -used, badly painted, parts missing- warhammer models for almost the same price as -new, in box, unassembled and unpainted-? It's so fucking annoying. And they keep sending me "special, 5% off!" deals like I care about 5% off on your 100 dollar plastic pile of junk you're trying to sell as "like new". And the bits stores are worse since they sell each piece individually for a 100% markup.
Ebay is better to sell cheap chinese junk and sell in volume
Selling expensive stuff on Ebay is a bad idea
Sell old clothes
State sizes in listing
Show pics of labels that include size
Show pics that include tape measure for chest and length
DIS TOO SMALL, ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED
DIS LIKE A CHILDS SHIRT LMAOO YOU SCAMMER
GIMME MONEY BACK
bad review
ebay is good for pokemon
can't you submit the entire convo with the buyer as evidence to ebay the buyer acted in bad faith? presumably it's all on ebay messaging?
buy something from ebay
"private seller! no returns!!!"
packaged like shit
gets damaged in transport
"but it said no returns!"
eBay steps in
get refund, keep item
I'm so tired of these retards not understanding that the "no returns" rule applies only to the case where the the product arrives as described.
Make an offer. Most people don't follow that market.
most full time sellers don’t even do auctions, so there’s nothing to shill bid. that said, I support shill bidding on sneakers.
auctions are literally retarded, why would you willingly say ill accept ANY price you guys want
you can literally run your own dutch auction on ebay and get the price you want (list BIN and reduce each week till you're at your bottom line or it sells)
You know I don't have any of these problems with coins, this sounds like you selling items that appeal to shitters.
the only time I’ve run auctions were for high dollar items with a lot of competition and then I had a high starting price where I was already well in the money. but yeah, generally it doesn’t make sense.
for parts or repair
80% of the cost of a new product
BASED BASED BASED
KILL ALL SELLERS
You'll never make it in ecommerce if you have a "no returns" policy
You can report messages, but nothing ever happens.
Sell as is for parts & not working item
accept returns.
not how that works.
The worst are the niggers who think small time sellers are Amazon and they want to try it before they buy it while making you pay for their return.
This is why I had to start charging shipping.
Then they just leave a negative review and there's nothing you can do about it. Ebay literally makes it so there's no reason to not accept a return.
im usually a pretty good buyer but of the 20 or so things I bought on eBay there is at least one time where I misread the ad (he was intentionally vague) and found out it came with something missing and then I demanded a refund and ended up getting it after a lengthy series of lying to ebay and the seller, anyone else buy a deal that seems too good and then the product never comes? learned the hard way on that one but always got my money back
never sold on eBay, but I've bought a fair bit, had one or two back and forth convos with sellers but only ever got pissed off with one
I bought an old LP from a seller, all the photos of it showed it in excellent condition, it was described as near-mint condition and played perfectly
it arrived very well packaged all closed up and secure, big do not bend sticker. but when I got it out the sleeve was very clearly very worn and ripped slightly in one place and the LP itself was very slightly warped and scratched to hell, so much so that you could hear it fucking up in the first 10 seconds of the opening track.
was really really annoyed by that as I had been looking for a good condition copy for a while
99% of my buyers have been great, but there are a few that I want to visit in their homes, just to chat.
item gets lost in the mail
I give the buyer a full refund and eat the loss
he leaves a negative feedback because "never received the item"
refuses to change it when I ask
Why I don't sell phones anymore
selling an obviously broken old iPhone with horribly cracked screen for $16 with free shipping
listed as "for parts or repair"
multiple photos of screen, which is visibly shattered in all of them
have the words "cracked screen" in the title and description
buyer leaves a negative feedback because "phone came with a cracked screen"
Another one
buyer messages me asking to weigh the item, and a bunch of additional measurements
I take the time out of my day to get the measurements and weight for him
"okay, everything checks out. If you drop the price to $200 I'll buy it for sure"
I drop the price
buyer ghosts me
And my favorite
selling a road bike for $1200
buyer tells me a sob story about how he's recovering from surgery and needs it for exercise, pleads with me to drop it to $1000
I oblige
see it listed next week for $2200
I've learned that half the battle with eBay is finding a niche that has high quality customers. Apple products are probably the worst customer base, some of the best is vintage collectibles as long as you're honest about the condition.
Another one that I forgot, might actually be the worst one
international sale through global shipping program
item gets siezed by customs for whatever reason
eBay support assures me that they will refund the buyer since they fumbled the customs form, but he has to wait until the last day of the expected delivery window and then open a claim
he waits until the last day
tries to open a claim
"we're sorry, since more than 30 days have passed since the completion of the sale, you can no longer open a claim"
You gigafaggots, you are the ones who refused to do anything until this date
because america is full of disgusting brown people
and disgusting brown people are now all on the internet
and tiktok has taught disgusting brown people all the tricks on how to steal stuff and get free stuff
p.s. fuck you jannies
collects final value fees on sales tax
fuck jewbay
Then you have to wait several weeks, or longer. Maybe it won’t even sell at your bottom line. If I have an undesirable item (a less popular graded card in this case) I just send it to a reputable consigner and get whatever I can for it. They make it pretty easy and get a lot of traffic for their auctions. Not a good strategy for all items though.
why does nobody leave feedback anymore? the like 1 out of every 10 purchases will leave a positive feedback. everyone else just leaves it blank like a lazy faggot. its so annoying. i would have an ebay level over 1,000 if these fucking cunts would leave feedback like the old days. back in the early 2000s when i sold shit on ebay every one left feedback. feedback participation rate was like 95%. i blame jews.
yeah these absolute kikes. i googled that shit when i discovered them kiking me earlier this year and came upon the ebay seller forums which were jut loaded with bootlicking cucks saying how its justified because it costs ebay money to collect tax.
theres absolutely no incentive to leave feedback on an item you bought. like literally 0, you have to take time out of your day to remember what item you bought, how much it was, if it was shipped on time and how long it took to arrive, if the description matched what you got. ebay needs to make some type of incentive for buyers to leave any feedback cuz rn there is zero reason to do it
