Now THAT's how you handle it

I had a problem with a guy who's a power seller and he went ballistic because he didn't take the time to understand he'd sent me two wrong items after I waited two weeks for something. I told him to chill out, he did, we talked on the phone and found out we both are big fans of the same classic tv show, we don't live that far from each other and he offered to help train a depressed mega market base on how to use Ebay!

So now I have a new friend and a powerful potential buying and selling and marketing team that can't be beat! Not only that but alot of retirees and military and cops I know who have awesome goods can now have a one on one chat with a top Ebay seller!

1) Don't lose your temper. Get the full story straight and remember there are alot of goof ups like emails, spam filters, ISPs blocking ( it happened with a big GFY player and me recently ), illness, etc.

2) When you buy use Pay Pal or some other verifiable trade purchasing service. Ask a question about the item BEFORE you buy or bid. If the seller can't answer your email BEFORE the sale it's a good bet he ain't gonna do it after you put your money down.

3) Look for the best deal. That means the seller or buyer. I was surprised at meeting people on Ebay who I bought from! They LOVE me cause I pay then and there. No bullshit unless there's a problem with distance or like in Britain their monetary system.

Ebay's potential is astounding. It's like having a store with 35 million window shoppers 24/7. Ebay alone is probably the Post Office's biggest reason to exist nowadays.

I knew Ebay would pan out but it had to grow and get the knots out first. It's probably the biggest seller online outside of porn and then some!
