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

[My Main Man]

The reason I wait to leave feedback, as a seller, is that to me the transaction isn't completed until the buyer gets the item. If I leave positive feedback and then the buyer turns out to be a liar or whatever, I'd rather not have left feedback in case someone is contemplating buying from them or whatever in the future. Not that I could leave negative as a seller, but I'd rather leave nothing than leave positive and then get screwed over. I don't know. Obviously people can do whatever they want. That's just my two cents on waiting for the buyer to leave feedback first.

FYI, if you have a store I have it set to automatically leave feedback for buyers. Dont even have to do it anymore which is nice. Does it as soon as they pay.

And the note on "they will if they want to" I find to be not 100% accurate as I follow up with buyers after 30-45 days and sometimes I get a message back saying "oh hey sorry totally forgot and I wish I could but its been too long" So a little reminder sometimes helps. Anyone who has an issue is going to contact you anyway.

That requires "selling manage pro" which is 15.99 per month. I personally do not have that.

You are correct. sorry. I got it when I upgraded from a Basic Store to a Premium Store. It is included free with the Premium Store. Super nice feature that saves time.

Yea, once I get my listings per week up a bit, I certainly will be upgrading.

Yeah, that was the single best upgrade with upgrading the store! My time spent finishing transactions has substantial dropped since I changed it. That and all the extra "free" listings is great!

I am looking to upgrade my camera now, and I am presently looking at the canon sx510 hs and the canon g12. I am strongly leaning toward the g12 although its a few years older than the sx510, based on the advice from the associate at canon and b & h photo(and a photographer friend). Does anyone have experience with either of these cameras or any other tips. Would also be helpful to hear what you're using. For me, I want to keep it under 350 tops. (I can get a refurbished g12 for under that)

Love my D3100. I know a few others have them here also. Prob can pick up for around 350 on ebay as they are few years old.

I used to have a Canon Powershot G6. It (and similarly, the G12) was a great camera, but severely limited if you see yourself becoming serious about photography.

I love my Canon Rebel T4i.

Wow, fire:



You figure when someone ***** up what you buy, and your receive a dirty pair of LL Bean chukkas not even in the right size, they would be a little nicer. Plus, I didn't open the case, eBay automatically opens them.

It's not actually a case either, until one of you escalates it from there.

Also....are you bidding on some of my stuff?

I bid on a couple of things yeah. All of the c&j's (I think, particularly the suede), the spectators, and...something else that I can't remember. I wasn't going to bother you via pm because I know that you would far surpass what I would be willing to pay.

Oh, ok....just noticed it this afternoon, but it was a sport coat that was like 8 sizes too big.
