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

Rob Ford would have been a riot during this pandemic.

Oddly enough, his idiot ex-drug-dealer brother is doing a pretty respectable job leading the Province of Ontario through all of this. This comes despite the fact that he's made a complete mess of everything else he's touched since the election.

One for the blocklists: liasalk

Sold this person a pair of shoes, and then a matching belt after a long negotiation process where they ended up talking me down to half of the asking price. Return request yesterday for the shoes since "they are much more narrow than an M width, not as described." Return request for the belt today because "not as described", despite them telling me in previous messages the only reason they want to return the belt is due to the shoes not fitting. Been a nightmare and then some.

That sucks. You should at least be able to fight the return shipping charge on the bogus SNAD case if/when EBay’s phone service is back up.

So, hopefully they're not still automatically closing disputes in the buyer's favor. Just got an item not received case for an item that's showing as delivered. I contacted the buyer, gave them the tracking # they already had and added the same to the case. I called but, still no phone service, so we wait.

Honestly even if it takes you 5 emails, online CS is not that bad if you dont have a case to plead - send them an email, we got a bunch of **** done (FB, cases, INR, etc) done over emails, but it took like 5 emails each. They all go to different reps.

I see someone's perfected the art of selling neckties.

Thanks- looks like i have to wait 3 days before I can ask ebay to step in? There's no shortcut to that, is there?

Hello All,
I’m looking at a Brunello Cucinelli belt in Ebay. The seller price is almost 70% off retail price. Although it is possible as it is an old design. I’m still wondering if it is authentic or not... but the seller has 100% positive rating... look like a real trusted seller.
here is the Ebay link:

Brunello Cucinelli Men's Brown Leather Suede Belt W/ Gold Buckle 85-110cm NEW | eBay


Appreciate for your opinions and thoughts especially from those BC lovers. Thanks !

1. I don't trust any items that don't show tags / markings / etc.
(NONE of that seller's have any pictures showing tags)

2. People are Dumb.
Many folks will buy a knockoff and still leave Positive feedback.
(either unwittingly, or more likely, think they got a "deal" on the fake Versatchy.)

3. YMMV

Has anyone opted in the new ebay promotion ? Free store & no selling fees?
I maybe want to make a further EBay store.

Best

Always best to assume any NWOT stuff is used. Lotta liars on ebay.

I also get leery when sellers use only stock photos (and no brand photos either).

Just got hit with vero misuse by Velcro. Looks like I’m part of the club now!
