    What Ever Happened To Robert Daskal?

    I see also (from the items in the edges of your picture) that you do what I do, zip-top bag them before boxing them. Not long ago I had an idiot return one to me (which is a whole nuther story; I don't as a rule take returns unless I missed a flaw, and I didn't in this case) in a #10 paper...

    What Ever Happened To Robert Daskal?

    Nice one. I have four in my closet, plus one currently up for sale on feeBay. I prefer the abstract designs (like yours) to the themed ties. Nothing wrong with the themed ones, but I generally shy away from themed ties for reasons of taste.

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

    Please add tuan4sale and authentictn to your BBLs. Short version: I'm a small seller, high end used shoes and accessories with a few jackets, very discriminating generally. I provide high-resolution pics (not professional, but decent enough quality to let a buyer make an informed decision)...

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

     Haha ... last week I found and immediately listed a very decent pair of vintage 7.5D Alden shell wings (a first for me!), at what I thought was a BIN high enough to get an acceptable offer but not drive off reasonable bargain hunters. I was getting offers within the hour (3am) and by...

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

    I've BBL'd for less. Most recently, a putz who offered $40 for NIB A-Es (a casual style, but still NIB). My list price was buck and a quarter. I found his offer insulting.

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

    So. Guy messages me to nickel and dime me on shipping a tie (in fairness, he was overseas and probably getting ganked through GSP), and icing on the cake, to tell me what (he thinks) the comparable item is going for at consignment stores. (he didn't make an offer, just passive-aggressively...

     He may have overestimated his reach vs. your reach. I suspect he's about to find out that a lot of doors just slammed shut for him for clothing buys on feeBay.

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

     I learnt the secret language of eBay during my last tour of duty as a hobby seller. The Management there always lies, every single time, about everything under the sun. As I've said a million times, every time I got a new email titled something like "We're making changes to help you sell...

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

     Amen. In a perfect world, the operative questions of fact here would be: 1) did the seller provide actual measurements? 2) Were the actual measurements, the actual measurements? i.e., were they accurate? If the answers are yes and yes, buyer should be SOL. Encourage knowledgeable...

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

    (sigh) The pain of being a feeBay seller, even a hobby seller ... when you get a decent (not great, but decent) offer for an item that's been sitting on your shelf for months, you check out feedback left by the offeror, and see he is a possible PITA. The struggle is real. (Not posting his ID...

     I hope you reversed the sale before you shipped, and blocked her ugly @$$. I already have! She sounds like a pluperfect nutcase.

     I hate that his/her first resort was to impugn your integrity. That is enough to make me want to crush his/her soul. User name please. MY BBL needs more fodder.

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

     Honestly, if I am evaluating a best offer from a potential buyer, I don't even bother to look at their pos FB, because as that's all a seller can leave, it's meaningless. I look at what kind of feedback they leave. If they appear in any way to be a PITA, I flush their bid and block em...

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

     I didn't get this message, because I don't do or care about TRS, but I'm glad to see feeBay is consistent in strategic communications to sellers. I learned during my last go-around that whenever The Management says their changes are "positive" and designed to "help you," you better reach...

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

     This. If I even think I made a mistake on an item, the buyer gets a refund faster than they have a right to expect from a hobby seller. But for me that's pretty much that. Because eBay forces an all-or-nothing proposition on us for a return policy, I choose none. An unconditional return...

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

     I got pretty annoyed recently by a seller who trolled for pos FB via PM, AFTER I had received the item and given him his moldy green donut. Didn't update my FB with a negative comment, but he got a tart reply. For me, I look at it this way. I have a healthy 1100+ positives from 16 years...

    Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

     Give him a day or 2 to honor his bid, and then send it to resolution. Hope he likes the unpaid item strike. I'm not even sure I'd bother to respond to his message. What a shmuck! I truly, from the bottom of my heart, hate "free shipping" from an eBay perspective. "Free shipping" is a...

     If your photos are clear and correct, what she's describing (IMVHO) isn't a SNAD. It's willfully-inattentive-buyer remorse, which I despise, and not a legitimate grounds for asking for a refund. On my screen, the studs look more silvery than bronze, but the entire footbed is bronze. If...
