So I started not long ago, buying one item and selling several on e-bay. Beforehand I read many threads here (thanks by the way) and there (web browsing) also learning by doing. Up to now...
Last time I put 3 items on e-bay, all three sold. One was won by a zero feedback newbie, one by a less than 100 feedbacks buyer, and the third one by a buyer with almost 10,000 positive feedbacks! So you can imagine my reaction... a bit worried for the first one, felt fine for the second and totally no-worry and scure for the last one.
And, guess what! After the bidding ended I got the payment INSTANTLY from the zero feedback buyer. She paid within 5 minutes and everything was great. Then the second buyer paid withint the window I stated in my item description (48 hours, thank you)
Now almost 3 days passed... nothing from my worry-free, 10,000 feedback buyer. No payment, no communication (I sent both an invoice and a reminder) I'm sure I'll get the payment within e-bay's 7 day window, but...
Anyway, this changes my pre-determined opinion. Maybe I'm just lucky to have great zero or low feedback number buyers.
I'm new, still so much more to learn!
