I still buy stuff on eBay and rarely have a problem, I just return the item for a full refund if not up to snuff. On the rare times a seller balks, I open a case and my $$ is returned post haste. Minor hassle occasionally but plenty of good deals still and fast ship to my door, etc.
Where eBay really sucks is for sellers, IMO. The supply side is saturated for most things and the site doesn't seem to get the traffic it once did for selling the random stuff I have laying around. Plus the fees are high and they charge commission on shipping!  which is another nuclear option to the problem of people charging one dollar for things and bumping up the shipping cost.  |
This ^^^^^
Buyer says don't match description or is defective....Buyer gets money back plus initial shipping...end of story.
Seller tests electronics, it works, ships it. Buyer says it don't work, buyer gets money and shipping back...conclusion don't sell electronics...
So what to sell on Sleeze Bay....hmmm something that is small, is relatively uniform in size and weight so it uses a std box, is easy to package and can be run over by a truck and won't be damaged?
Oh yeah it also has to have a good profit margin as a ROI...one thinks about 4 to the 1 one invested on average is about right....
Hmmm now what could that possibly be???
BTW..everything shipped HAS TO BE wt TRACKING to prove it was sent and delivered...
