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

[rhz5001]

No I’m not, but in my best months, I was getting less than .5% return rates. My best month was somewhere around 700 sales.

700 sales in a month is insane. Were you selling heroin that month? I'm not trying to downplay you guys, you guys all do better than me it seems.

I am a one man band working out of one room at decent volume. I'm sure I sacrifice some accuracy being more in a rush to run at some volume, but overall happy with the balance. I started selling shoelaces to offset those seller metrics. So far so good!

I didn’t realize PayPal would be kicked off eBay in the coming months. I was talking to a Paypal rep the other day, expressed surprise and said something about them losing millions of dollars, and the rep got really salty about it, nearly screaming, Hey, we’ve got other irons in the fire, pal!.

Very odd.

Paypal is crushing it compared to eBay. Best thing they did for themselves was spinoff.

I'm a 10.5 too, so I guess I'll check them when I get back, but is there a chance these aren't UK sized?

But wouldn't that mean that they should have been too small for the buyer?

Most C&J shoes are marked in their UK size, but some, particularly the Barney's pairs are US sized.

Yep, wasn't thinking. Hate it when a $300 order comes back.

Yeah, and that's particularly odd, as UK E width is standard, or US D, which would also increase the risk of being too small. Hate those high-$$$ returns, especially now, when every dollar counts . . .

On a positive note, the guy initiated the return the day he got them, and sent them back the next day, so they're back on the market in less than a week.

Thanks to the gents who shared their Poshmark CA successes in this thread when I was moaning about having a ****** experience on the platform last year. This year has been much, much better!

How do you guys figure out who is a scam before accepting an offer? I've had an offer from a 98% feedback 10 year old account... When he started asking to include a $300 steam gift card... probably a hacked account?

A sign that demand for classic menswear might make a rebound?

One for the blocked list: sonniebry

buys a blazer, then creates an "Unauthorized Purchase" claim with Paypal.

I haven't been able to move over to ebay's managed payments yet, but this nonsense should go away under a single system, should it not?
