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

[haloitsme]

Guys, a question: How creative and/or suggestive can one get with listing titles? Alternately: can titles be something dopey/funny/intriguing — something that will actually get views — but lack the usual keywords? Or will eBay sanction you?

You can use emojis so your listings stands out... but no idea if allowed

You may or may not want to block this guy. I noticed familiar sellers have left him positive feedback. In my case he opened a return request on a suit then immediately escalated the return to a case. I offer free returns and he's only in the next state over, so I'm not quite sure what his game is. Either way I'd rather not deal with him again.

Uh oh

Uh oh

I feel that there is a story behind that reply.

Just be sure to use the eggplant and peach emojis sparingly... ? ?

Just that I am his most recent positive feedback, from a purchase 6 days ago.....for a suit.

X-post from my thread in case any of you dont follow but -

Yesterday, my notifications from Instagram started blowing up and it seems that this blogger/influencer guy made a post about me :


(comments are great BTW)

And also made a video review of our ebay store to compare it to a not-so great one. Pretty cool stuff, and some really informative stuff he had to say. I had no idea he was even doing that (or that he even existed!) but glad I found him. Or rather he found me.

That guy is actually really smart and not annoying at all. Most of these types of videos are insufferable. I'm kinda shocked.

I am just glad that I am not the "not so great" store you were being compared to.

But Spoo, you are not 100% consignment... anyways great video.

Somebody help! (Please).

I’m sitting here at the post office ready to mail, and the buyer’s official address comes up with a different city name. The post office says they go by zip codes, not city names, eBay sellers ask this all the time, and it’s no big deal. However, I’m sending a costly package to a dreaded -0 buyer. 150 positive feedback as a buyer, but still.

I’m worried the buyer will just say it was delivered somewhere else. What do you do when their address lists a city name that is off?

Are you in th=e post office trying to buy postage, or did you print out the postage from eBay already.

 

[noob in 89]

I’m at the post office. Don’t have a printer.

But...I have a hand printed label. Don’t know if they’ll use that or not.

Always ship to the address provided by eBay and nothing else. I print and purchase directly from eBay so there is no chance of confusion and there is a provable account of the transaction. It's also cheaper.
