Message:: [QUOTE="Raccoon1977, post: 3775388, member: 17253"]My biggest issue/aggravation is non paying bidders. I have two right now that total $245, not a huge deal but not small either. I have learned to make larger priced items buy it now, and typically a buyer will send an offer. This gives you the chance to research the buyer a bit. Best bets are the dealers with over a thousand feedback. I do sell items over $500, but I check the buyer out first. If I get a bad vibe, I will absolutely cancel and let them know exactly why. I will risk a neg, but fortunately have never had to. Only once in my career have I been scammed; a lady bought a $10 base metal bracelet and started a return. She sent it back and I issued the refund before I opened the package (literally the first and last time I had ever done that). It was a dollar tree value necklace. I was aggravated but didn’t pursue it because it really wasn’t worth my time. I have had people complain about something (I am super honest in my listings and point out any flaws I see) and I always tell them I am happy to give a full refund for return of the item. So hopefully this doesn’t jinx me, but if you are careful then it can be done. I say that as a seller with over 4000 feedback, but I may have thought differently if I was new, so be aware that new sellers with low feedback are sure targets for scammers. Ebay has a seller forum- go on there and read the posts. Good luck![/QUOTE]
