I've sold many things on eBay and most of my experiences have been great but some have been a pain in the ass.

It depends on what you're selling too, if it's a car you have more at risk than if you are selling a CD.

yes-negative feedback is a deal breaker-

EscortBiz · 04-16-2003, 09:36 AM

read what the neg feedback is

but I had nice experiences with ebay

Lily · 04-16-2003, 09:47 AM

I've been using Ebay for years, both selling and buying (mostly buying) and I've never had a problem. I tend not to buy from people with negative feedback over 1%.

LeeNoga · 04-16-2003, 10:00 AM

Ebay is wonderful but is with risk, I have one negative feedback from a DVD I sold on Half.com

When you list the title, it pops up the area for that movie, already has a picture of the DVD cover, and your stuck with the description HALF.com gives, but you know your in the right place because of the DVD cover...

I sold the DVD, the guy gave me a negative because I misrepresented the documentary of the Titanic for the movie Titantic.

I did not misrepresent what it was, the cover it was sold under was the cover picture DVD I shipped. HALF.com called it a movie, I did not.

I have had great experience, but know what your buying before you buy it, there are alot of scams, forges, replication of antique stuff etc.

Gator · 04-16-2003, 10:09 AM

Scams and fraud are becoming much more common.

I've sold stuff, some people are quick to pay. Some don't pay at all. It's a big hassle when people don't pay.

I got screwed a few times buying. Once item never was shipped, other times people don't tell you things wrong with the item their selling.

Ask questions about the item you want to bid on if the description is unclear. Stay away from people with recent negatives. And watch for the people who like to charge $5 shipping for something that takes a 37 cent stamp.

Same here.

RSCPaul · 04-16-2003, 11:00 AM

It always sucks to be outbid. At times it gets really interesting when some dumb knob starts an outbidding rampage with another dumb knob and end up with a higher price for the item on ebay then if they just got the item from an online store

traffictrader · 04-16-2003, 11:13 AM

i've bought multiple items around $1k on eBay, no problems so far.

The most important thing to do is get a direct line of communication with the seller. If they are legit, they'll have no problem with this, if they do have a problem, bail.

Get their telephone number, an address, business lisence if its a business, things that you can trace. Second, pay with a check or signature required money, and use signature required delivery. Make sure there is documentation of every level of the transaction, and you have a way to get ahold of the guy.

9 times out of ten it won't matter, but when it does... you'll be glad you did it.

sandman! · 04-16-2003, 11:20 AM

99.9% of transactions are perfect once in awile you get fucked but in the long run you will save $$$

demented · 04-16-2003, 01:31 PM

I buy alot of shit from Ebay. Never really sold much. I've had pretty good luck and never have any big major problems before, Other than slow shipping.

siccmade · 04-16-2003, 01:36 PM

I usually buy cheap ps2 games. Just got tony hawk 3 in the mail today, was only $12

AdultNex · 04-16-2003, 01:45 PM

I've used eBay in the past, and still use it today occasionally. I only purchse from user with positive feedback, and never had any problems.

Shok · 04-17-2003, 06:51 AM

I use it alot. I've sold about 4 or 5 cars on there all with no problems.

Actually though recently ive had 2 deadbeat bidders who ran the auction price up and won, but then never paid or returned emails, I hate that shit.

TDF · 04-17-2003, 02:32 PM

does anyone have any tips for winning auctions? I have been outbid literally at the last minute for the last couple of auctions I bid on

I was just going to telll you how to win them before you asked.

The auction is won in the last 2 minutes, show no interest until the near end if you really want this item.

If not put an outrageous max proxy bid on the item.

If you show any interest in the item, the assholes come out and try to beat you for the sport of it, there is something about auction frenzy adrenaline that makes people feel they have to win at any expense.

SO show no interest, bid one time if you want and place a nice high max bet [the most you will pay absolute], that way ya don't have to bird dog it.

If you want it cheap, jump in with minutes to go and slap a nice max bid on it, the opposer has about 1 chance to knock you out, and they will bid too conservative and not see you coming, auction ends, and they wondering where the hell you came from.

Thats what probablly happend to you at the end, you lost by $2 but prolly they had a high proxy bid going...and you onlyforced their bid up $2 by proxy
