Help with Ebay
I've gotten some questions concerning shopping and bidding on Ebay. Here are the best answers I have.
Concerning some high prices on items. What's happening , is the seller is buying Ebay items and then puts them into their Ebay Store. For example - COMVAIL
Some sellers seem to have several of the same item. How can this be , if the item is rare ? Simple , the person is selling reproductions. For example - obez
How can a seller have a complete set of an item that is rare ? That person looks for his missing pieces on Ebay and then he has a set to sell. For example - cva64
Are you seeing a picture here ? You can spend a little time looking around on Ebay or let someone else do the work. Then , you can pay their high price$. The big things I watch for when looking to buy on Ebay are , the seller's feedback , the seller's shipping costs and the quality of the item. If the picture is blurry or offset , stay away from it. There will always be another , just like it.
I don't sell on Ebay , butt , I've been asked about it. Here's my suggestion to anyone wanting to sell an item. Search your stuff on Ebay. If there are a lot of look a likes , then your item may not sell , or not bring in a good price.
If you have a lot of stuff to get rid of , I suggest donating it to The ARC or AMVETS. They will come out with their truck and haul it away at no cost and you get a tax break.
No , I do not donate my stuff to GraceWorks in Franklin. GraceWorks will not help a handicapped veteran or any veteran and that's sad. Butt , your Christian heart feels good , don't it ?
Lastly , butt not leastly. Always remember , should you become a victim of fraud , Ebay does'nt care. All Ebay is concerned about , is getting paid. And yes , the seller WILL give Ebay access to the bank vault , before the seller starts selling anything. And of course , Ebay just loves packing advertisements down your throat and up your nose. So , if you have been frauded on Ebay , remember these words , " tough shit " . Unless of course , you've used your Ebay PayPal or other credit card. Yes , Ebay does own PayPal. This is the reason newbie sellers are required to have PayPal in their listings. This is also the reason Ebay has increased it's fees and Yes , Yes , and Yes , Ebay really does charge a fee for any item , that sells for under 25 dollar$ Believe It Or Not
