Jerry: I sold on eBay from 1999-2004 (Have over 1100 pos feedbacks as you_wear_it_well as I LOVE Rod Stewart Music and I sold clothing LOL)... Anyway, I quit cause both ebay and Pay Pal fees got tooo high.. If you just wanna unload the stuff, it isd a great avenue, and YES, I do/did take PayPal, cause almost everybody who buys on ebay has an ebay acct and it is an easy and quick way to get your money.... I also took checks and/or Money Orders, but stated in my ad that checks had to clear BEFORE merchandise would be shipped..... And I used the "buy it now" a LOT, cause I like to put a price on something, sell it, BAM, get on to the next item.... Another way tocut down on fees, and make more profits, it to sell your stuff in big "lots"... That way the fees don't nickel and dime ya to death, and you don't have to keep up with as many auctions... Do NOT expect to get even 50% of the real value of the items, cause ppl (buyers) are just like ppl who go to flea markets (they go to get a bargain)..... But, you can unload the stuff if your price is right, HTH, Chuck
Also, don't jack up postage too much, Just actual costs and maybe packing material actual costs, ppl are very turned off by unusually high S&H, and even thought it is in the ad, they will leave a Neg feedback AFTER they bought it KNOWING what S&H was before they even bid.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Goldsmith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 12:30 PM Subject: [VFB] E-Bay Listers, Some time ago several listers mentioned they were have real issues with E-bay and/or PayPal. Finally finished cleaning the garage and storage unit. MAJOR DOWNSIZE. I have all sorts of stuff to sell. Is E-bay still the best way to go ?? If yes, with or with out PayPal ? If you do not use paypal, what is the best way to get paid. JG Jerry Goldsmith Altamonte Springs, Fl [EMAIL PROTECTED]
