EBAY TIPS...Any Advice?

[Kyle]

Okay I am becoming an Ebay Seller or whatnot. I have heard some shit about scam artists, and people who bid up your item and then try to get it sent to nigeria and then you have to pay the fees for the ebay auction even if you don't sell it to them.

Okay so anyon have any advice as of how to get positive feedback and not get scammed?

[R3RUN]

theres nothing you can do if the scam artist wins the auction...you gotta file a dispute and wait for it to end to get your fees back, and then relist it if you want. but if you get emails during the auction from the nigerians, dont click any links in the email, and immediately report them to ebay. i usually forward all scam attempts to [email protected]

as long as the buyer is legit, and you ship the item immediately after they pay, you should always get pos feedback

only selling and shipping within the U.S. to paypal certified addresses will weed out some of the overseas scammers.....

otherwise it's hit and miss. I've only had it happen to me once and I've sold many items on ebay ranging in value from $20 to $7,000

[ahmonrah]

i'm thinking of doing the same thing.....me and the wifey were just talking about it.

i always put in bold print and red font in every auction that i only ship to US and canada and certified addresses, but low and behold, they still try to pull some shit.

I've bought/sold 25 items on eBay and have had no problems so far, when I sell stuff I explicitly say I only accept Paypal and I only ship inside the U.S. You shouldn't have any trouble.

[Kyle]

Thanks. Can I just choose to close the auction if I see someone with negative feedback jacking up the price?

Yea, but if you close it you have to pay all of the listing fees (insertion, pictures, borders, priorities,) as well as a percentage of your reserve if you set one.
