Re: Who's sold on EBAY?
Gnar, I wondering the same thing. I feel I've done my part.
Eric, I have considered Fed Ex and UPS but I'm not local to either. I travel through areas where there are hubs during the week. Thing is I've never had a post office incident (and still may not have one). I probably need to do a little research.
I use Craig's list as well. I've only ever sold one or two things off of Craig's though. I sold a Shop Smith yesterday on there. Ive listed a lot of stuff but sold very little. I have bought plenty off of Criag's though. In fact the van came from Craig's list and it was local (about and hour away).
I'm selling stuff for my Father who has a lot of mis matched stuff and all of it is worth something. The day before I sent this item I sent a $500 item to another buyer without incident( by USPS). My dad buys flea market and garage sale items and resells them to support his toy train habit. Right now he has more than he can deal with because of his health. With that in mind, I'm not out of pocket anything and he is out very little. Shipping was $14, a couple dollar paypal fee and Ebay fee and the original money he paid for the item (which couldn't have been very much, probably $5 or $10)
I haven't heard anything from the buyer since Sat PM after we exchanged messages back and forth. I had to step away from the computer. I refunded yesterday and still not a note. So we will see.
