and I am top rated seller with golden status, 100% positive feedback, and there are hundreds of positive feedbacks, and she has like 10 feedbacks on eBay. I've never had any disputes closed not in my favor, I actually had only a couple of them during all these years (all not about authenticity issues), and I won them. hope that will be taken into consideration too.
The past week I had someone making low ball offers 3 times. Each time she went up $20 so the last time I agreed on her price even though it meant I literally would make $8 profit . I changed the listing to her offer price 2 days ago and now I've heard nothing.
If she doesn't purchase it by the days end then I will change it back to my original price and ignore any more messages from her.
I honestly think it's a game for some people to see how low they can convince you to go
I've done this before. It's like 50/50 whether they actually buy. Now I give them a deadline of no more than a day. The last one I told her the price was going back up at midnight. She bought. I felt icky doing it because she was one of those that didn't ask nicely, just a message of "$100?"The past week I had someone making low ball offers 3 times.

how do other ppl do? what a pain. without 3rd party authentication she can't win anything, she can open it and then what? authenticator won't guide her step by step, they are super busy. it looks like she is not eager to proceed, she just tries to scare you hoping you'll take it back or give her $$ back after she wore shoes for event or something. I report this type of customers on Etsy. like "it will be beneficial for both of us if you give me 50% back and I keep the necklace bec I found a wholesale price on Alibaba, you should price match or I'll return". wholesale is not handmade, how you even compare.
I'm surprised you get people like that on etsy. My etsy sales have almost all been worry-free, and most don't complain about the price.
it's only 2% of customers. Etsy takes care of these issues quite well. Now when I'm back to eBay, it's a bit scary, but traffic is amazing and I'll take the odds.
If you aren't a top-rated seller, ebay is a little more than Tradesy. Tradesy charges 9 %, Ebay charges 10%. The paypal fee and the Tradesy withdrawal fee are roughly equivalent, but slightly more at Paypal since they charge 30 cents on top of the percentage. If you don't pay for a store, you only get 50 free listings a month. After that, you have to pay for listings. If you become top rated, you get discounts on your fees and shipping, so it could end up cheaper than Tradesy, but you don't get to use that cheap shipping label and the ebay percentage includes the amount you charge for shipping. So if you sell an item for $100 on Tradesy and use their label, the fee is $9. If you sell the same item on ebay and charge $15 to ship, ebay charges fees on the total ($115), so your fee will be $11.50. In order to be top-rated, you have to have at least 100 sales in a year.
Thank you Whateve, it's pretty clear now. I listed my items for the same price as Tradesy with a little room for discount, I'll just be more careful with accepting offers on eBay.
I'd pick the medium because I never use my tiny bags as much as I think I will.Wow, none of us are going to sell anything, but I am buying!
Help me decide ASAP
2 black lambskin GHW boy
1. small and new with tags (only a party size bag for me)
2. Old medium "like new" with minor scratches to outside (can't see any in photos and the photos are good) and some scratches to inside flap (I can see one)

wow, choice is limited but there are steals. Celine is for $700-800. Tradesy pics are so off though, everything looks brownish-greyish, I need to Google each color to see what it looks like. these horrible pics are the main reason they were not selling well from their closets. Pay more to qualified stuff who can take adequate picture (like it's super difficult) or to sell at loss up to 50% off. even with this discount many bags look so unattractive, they will have to retake pics.
