<p>[QUOTE=&quot;&#039;Nuff_Said, post: 22154, member: 181&quot;]In my 10+ years experience of selling high-ticket items internationally on eBay, I have never ran across a single issue of scamming. I&#039;m not implying there isn&#039;t any problems with scamming on eBay, but from my exp, I haven&#039;t seen it so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can you please share with us the nature of these multitude of scams that you&#039;ve come across?</p><p><br /></p><p>In recent history (Aug, 2014) we sold 3 pieces of silver for approx $9K+. Each piece went to an overseas buyer with no issues. The only issue I have come across was not having enough of these high-ticket silver pieces to satisfy the demand from these buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same applies to ceramics, fine art, etc.. etc... being sold and shipped internationally. Again, no issues whatsoever other than the lack of inventory to satisfy their thirst for these higher-dollar products.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure their are a number of folks here who can share with you a horror story or two regarding selling on eBay, but in my experience, I really don&#039;t have any.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only problems I can really think of is of my own fault. The failure to provide a meticulous condition report and/or description had paved the way for a partial-refund from buyers. But this had nothing to do with buyers (be they foreign or domestic) trying to pull a scam.....rather me not paying enough attention to that hairline crack or small rim chip is what caused the buyer to request such refunds.....and rightfully so. Again, this was my own failure and was written-off as the cost of doing business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
