Ebay Experiences - Seller ratings - Page 33

Looks like it's time to pray for prayerwarrior02.

Feedback like this, "Negative feedback rating\tNo response... no item.... M.F. stole my money..... I piss on you..... :-($)" is a sign that sellers sre having problems and trust them at your own risk!

yes...
it is getting harder to sell and harder to buy....

it seems as though the scammers are everywhere on ebay....

I had been wondering about this a bit, since I have never bought anything off ebay. At times, it seems like I am missing out on a lot of good stuff, but I really just can't be bothered to deal with scammers selling fake stuff, or not sending you anything at all. It all just seems like a crapshoot to me. Someone try to convince me otherwise.

I think it is a matter of buying from vendors who have a good track record or, if in doubt, post your questions here. Most of us who are eBay-thrifters have a pretty good command of legit sellers who will not sell you fake goods and who will represent products properly. Having said that, a few times I've taken chances with some of the more dodgy eBay sellers and gotten some amazing buys (like a no-more than 1 year old Oxxford sport jacket from parisvegas for $100).

Are there any experiences with the seller porto-rotondo?

My interest goes to one of his auctions...

anyone familiar with ebay seller: Sartoriale

That's Gabor Halmos, the US rep for Vass.

ahh.. ok. I knew the handle looked familiar. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what they think of this seller:

Is there any chance this suit is a counterfeit?

Thanks

Canali suit looks genuine but seems overpriced.

I bought some ties from him and would buy from him again.

I've been registered on ebay a couple months and have made 3 purchases (a 4th was out of stock and the sale cancelled) and received 2 positive feedbacks.

I've also had successful buying transactions with a number of SF stalwarts and plan to list a few ties and maybe shoes soon on the SF.

My question: I'd like to try to sell a few collector knives & militaria on ebay, fairly high-end, probably upper $100's, but it seems to me that successful selling will be handicapped by having only 2 feedbacks.

Other than buying more and getting feedbacks would it make sense to list some less expensive items first and build my rep? Or...?

Any tips shall be most appreciated - thank you.

Honestly, ive done my share with buying and selling on ebay. now it's not worth my time.

selling - ebay fees, then paypal fees, shipping fees, etc. take away all your profit

buying - too many fakes, too many scammers, id rather go through amazon.com if anything

I have seen people selling information on eBay for 99 cents just so that they can complete some transactions and exchange positive feeback. Here is an example:

Good god! Can this be remotely legit, or even work? Sounds hinkey.
