I just wanted to say Thank You to the posters and helpful people on TPF and the Ebay Forum!
I'm an bag lover who sells just a few times a year to fund new bags and clean out my closet. Whenever I need information, it takes lots of searching & time on Ebay. On tpf, people respond with the correct info usually within minutes.
I've learned SO MANY helpful things here like never budging on "shipping to Paypal confirmed addresses ONLY", taking detailed pics of every part of my bag, how to word my listings clearly, and overstating even the minor flaws in my items. You guys also made me aware of what certain scams are and how to avoid them (this has been a life-saver along with how to block bidders and how to tell what type of bidders I should block to begin with!).
There are lots of posts here about getting scammed on the buyer/seller side alike, and with good reason. However, I just wanted to share something positive because without tpf and all the information we all share here, my Ebay experience wouldn't be half as positive & successful as it's been so far.
So thanks again, everyone for sharing your knowledge and experiences (good & bad). It's very much appreciated and I hope that as I get more experience, I can also share some helpful tips with you all as well!
