Since the demise of the old 914 club site.....man I used to sell a lot over there....and the slow selling of stuff on this site....YEAH I know the format is anti spam, I have posted my first Evil bay sale..... I swore I would never do it.....but hey, I said I would never have kids either. I hope I don't get hooked and start selling Mom's jewelry and stuff. On my third "buy"....I feel like I am buying a baggy of herb..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) my bank issued a flawed money order.....it was an error on the teller but they issued a stop on a $8.30 cent MO.....I bought a stupid antique sticker for a gas pump I was restoring. Guy blasted me without even emailing me and asking WTF....... Put me off the bay for a couple of years..... Anyone else have any horror stories? |

Thing that amuzes me is that people always bag on "Ebay Sales". Guess what? It's not Ebay. You get a-holes when you buy and sell in any venue. The difference with Ebay is the feedback which can work to your advantage or against you, it just depends on the circumstances. There are bad buyers and bad sellers from Ebay, regular ads, and retail stores...
Don't get me wrong, I even use the name EvilBay once in a while just for entertainment value... Only time I have been hosed is purchasing off of Yahoo auctions. They don't require a credit card, as far as I know, to register as a seller. I'll never buy to trade in that venue again. I got ripped for $75 for a Gameboy. The seller's verified Paypal account was emptied and the account was closed. I still have a Yahoo claim pending which will be minus there $25.00 deductable if they every pay it. I take 100% returns (I don't always advertise it) if the buyer pays shipping both ways just like most of the retail stores on the Internet. I think this helps, because if you do have a problem, you generally won't get bad feedback. sm (over 400 positive feedbacks, one bad one... asshole...) |
