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

[Fueco]

Haha yea I’ve seen every episode of the first 10 seasons of law and order so I’m basically a paralegal . The way I read the first line is that they are stating the bag is blue and yellow not that I they though it looked blue and yellow from the pictures . Totally splitting hairs here but sometimes it’s all in the way things are worded. I’ll give ebay a call tomorrow and see what I can come up with

Good luck! I took a class that covered this sort of thing, but that was in 1995. I'm sure I've forgotten a lot of the crap I learned that semester.

I do recall one tale wherein a guy got out of a speeding ticket because the police officer wrote that the speeding car was gold, rather than gold-colored.

got a few Q's for you guys

#2. Anyone have suggestions for a decent label printer that can do the adhesive backed label rolls and is compatible with mac OSX? Preferably under $100 (not sure if this is a pipe dream).

The Dymo 4XL is $280 at Staples, $179 at Amazon
The Dymo 450 Turbo is $130 at Staples, $85 at Amazon
The Dymo 450 is $110 at Staples, but they also have a bundle with 2 label rolls for only $70. I'm pretty sure the labels are not usable for eBay shipping, but at least the print is cheaper.

Or https://www.amazon.com/DYMO-LabelWriter-Thermal-Printer-1755120/dp/B01B22TMJY?th=1

A bundle of machine and 1 label for $158.13 sold by Amazon not a third party.

With the USPS labels to Canada being 1 half page, can you print those with the Dymo XL?

Turns out I double printed a label, so a customer got a shirt and the tie he ordered. I'm surprised usps didn't hold onto one of them. Hoping this guy is nice enough to send back the shirt.

The only drawback to using a Dymo is its inability to print foreign shipping labels. You can also print labels for random packages through PayPal. The USPS does not let you print First Class postage from home. So, being able to print from PayPal is a good thing.

Called eBay today, they closed in my favor. My 10 years of law and order paid off. I used the “the item IS blue and yellow” line straight from their request and the CSR agreed with me and closed it out in my favor.

Another one to add to the list: somersetown

Opened up a NAD case as it didn't fit, then when ebay closed the case; now claims a "significant tear".

This is one of my nightmare scenarios—a buyer delibrately damaging an item just to claim it wasn't as described.

If the tear was there, it would have been the reason why he would open a case, not a fit issue. I don't believe he can open a second case for the same item; but I'm afraid he'll go to Paypal now.

That happened to me. Had a serious ***** buyer and I wouldn’t refund her so she opens a case claiming there’s a huge tear in the shirt. I just refunded it and called it a day

I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer, love reading anything about law and love putting together arguments but I can’t pass the bar because I have an extensive past up until 8 years ago. Oh well at least I have eBay cases to fight. Maybe someone will hire me as their eBay lawyer
