Well there are some obvious steps to take when listing. They should have a post history for one. If they have a low post history, it's worth trying to figure out who they are.

Start high, and then interested parties will contact you because they want the part. You automatically weed out the bargain swap meet time wasters. Make the transaction easy (sometimes I cover fees and shipping and I don't throw a hissy if they don't add the paypal fee when the ad says they should. I just cover it.

Pack the ever loving **** outta stuff. Don't skimp. Carriers DGAF. So the box has to be reinforced and padded really well.

Large objects - you only make money at a swap in bulk, or local. Shipping is a giant waste of time and money.

lastly, I buy a lot from the same people. There are a dozen really good sellers and I've bought multiple times from them. Some you get to know their parts style "high quality, bargain" "rare, expensive" "junk, cleaned off"
