Everyone has to start somewhere.

Post by: Hellmark on Thu, 26 September 2013, 10:09:31: Everyone does have to start somewhere, but most people build theirs up a bit first before offering sales.

Post by: Alessandro on Thu, 26 September 2013, 11:09:56: But then I'd sure there's be someone why says "But he has no selling feedback, it's all buying." :p

Post by: Hellmark on Fri, 27 September 2013, 15:41:06: I'd much rather buy from someone who has like 50 buying feedback, and no selling feedback, than someone with little feed back at all.

Ebay almost always sides with the buyer anyways in the event their was an issue.

Post by: Cafiend on Fri, 27 September 2013, 15:53:59: And you can't see your feedback unless you have 12 sales?
Parents wanted to use my eBay to sell their flutes. Hard to say no.
Last thing I tried to sell on eBay was a fungi tunic on everquest which I used for soo long. Was a fail of course.

Post by: Hellmark on Mon, 30 September 2013, 10:03:51: Spamray, having ebay side with you, and having ebay actually do something about it is two totally separate things. I have a few cases where ebay sided with me but then did absolutely nothing. One guy had decent feedback on ebay, but someone pissed him off, so he decided he was no longer doing business on ebay. Any transactions in not yet completed, he just did nothing. I paid for my item, he never shipped it, went through the whole process with ebay and paypal, both sided with me and faulted the seller. They froze his paypal account, and locked his ebay account. They said that I would be reimbursed from any funds in his account. Problem is, he'd already cleared out his paypal account before they did anything, so there was nothing to reimburse me from. Been in other situations like that too, even recently. Just settled another issue on ebay after someone sent me the wrong item.

Feedback of 6, and their eBay name contains the word "sneaky".

More importantly, credit card companies almost always side with the buyer in the even there was an issue.

Post by: Hellmark on Mon, 30 September 2013, 11:11:24: Provided you used a credit card. If you used paypal credit, bank, etc you aren't always as lucky.
