I have been buying and selling on eBay since 1999, with only a few problems over the years, all of which were resolved. I have sold mostly clothes, cameras, computers, etc. and never luxury items. I now have a major luxury label bag I want to sell that is worth 1300 euros. I really don't want to go through consignment because they take at least 40% and I will lose a lot of money. All I want it to get back what I paid (the bag is unused). Since the bag is very hard to find in stores and is basically sold out, I think I may even be able to get a bit more than retail via eBay. But, I've read a lot of horror stories here and I was wondering if there is some solid advice to prevent being scammed? My biggest worry is that the buyer will try to claim I sent a fake item, or the wrong item, or a used item, etc. (I have the original receipt and the item is 100% authentic).
You can specify that bidders with negative feedback be banned from bidding, but unfortunately you can't ban new bidders or those with no feedback at all. I can manually cancel bids from new accounts, but if the bidding gets heated in the end and a new bidder wins, I'll be at a loss for what to do about it.
Any advice appreciated!
