Well I for one somewhat enjoy selling on ebay. I like the feeling of people buying my stuff, especially when it is mostly stuff I got really cheap. And right now since I have a bunch of stuff up there (for one person selling their stuff, not like a store's worth) I subscribed to the ebay store for a month with the half off promo and so 9.95 + ony 6% fees from ebay makes it even better (especially since I am hoping to get some proof Wedge Tailed Eagles up soon). But to each there own. I have been burned and made huge deals selling on ebay.

I've been doing it for almost 15 years and haven't got rich, yet. I'm still optimistic inspite of ebay's ever changing landscape and rules of engagement.

95% of the bad Buyers I've come across were in Europe and S Korea. They all magically claimed INR disputes since there was no online tracking available back then with USPS shipments. I solved that problem by no longer shipping internationally. (By the way, don't fall for the ebay "Global Shipping Program" trap as it still has coins and currency on it's restricted items list the last time I looked)

The 5% bad Buyers I had here in the US were just pretty much "bidiots" looking for free stuff by going with the all encompassing "item not as described" dispute and asking for a complete or partial "freefund" to "make things right". I usually just told them to send it back for a full refund and added them to the BBL. A lot of them I never heard from again and they didn't return the item.

You just have to do what works best for you and learn from your mistakes....and you WILL make mistakes!

Good luck!

Ive been selling for about two years now. I think out of 200 transactions ive only had one small issue with a buyer. I sell records to and had more problems but not allot of problems really.
