Great ideas - I am an experienced ebay seller but I am always afraid of being scammed by a buyer. This forum is wonderful.
Where do you get the tyvek tags or other tags to mark your bag to prevent a phony return? I'm an individual, not a store so I don't have access to this stuff. |

If a seller does not answer a question that you submit do not bid on the item. If they can't be bothered to respond before the sale how will they treat you after the sale?

Sellers: You are responsible for getting the item to the buyer. Even if you claim that you are not reponsible once the item has been shipped. If you cannot afford to lose the $ amount of the product pay for insurance.

You should be clear about what sort of buyers qualify to bid. Some bidders with zero feedback just don't get it.
If a person bids, and does not meet a certain qualification, (10+ feedback, etc) cancel the bid. It's your listing. If you feel uncomfortable shipping somewhere, then don't do it. |

Thanks so much! I (luckily) haven't been scammed yet but as a seller you can't protect yourself enough!
So glad I found this forum. ![]() |

I always ask for pictures(if not already shown), mostly of the inside of the bags. If the picture isn't clear, I ask for a better picture. If I get "any" kind of excuse that doesn't seem reasonable, I don't bid. PERIOD!!!

[quote=lorihmatthews;2804220]Always pay for items with a credit card through paypal, and do not use an existing balance that you have in your paypal account. Withdraw the amount first so your account is at zero and then pay for the item.
Wow, never realized this! Thanks for the tip

I'm looking at Turbo Jam items and apparantly, there is some stores that mentioned items are shipped out from various places so they cannot combined shipping. Why are items out from various places? Dont they all belong to the same person? I'm really confused. Especially when I'm very new to Ebay.

to post merchandise). I am adamantly opposed to the practice. Too much potential for abuse.

if mails is lost in such case, i wonder whose problem will it be? manufacturer or the ebay party? i guess because of the big co not giving direct discount to mass consumers, it resulted in such cases. people joined the club and buy lots of items to get the discount and then sell the item on ebay. at least they are brand new i suppose. thx
