eBay being eBay, sadly. If you did 7 day auctions, once those end, you'll be fine to list more. If you did buy it nows, then you're kind of boned and at the mercy of buyers.

Good luck with the sales!

Fucking facepalm. He clicked buy, and then went through all the details and shit, and clicked confirm, all by "mistake." Now I have to wait again.

OP here. I just listed the same 7 day auction 3 times in a row (ie, day 1, day 8, day 15...) it's not selling, listings are free, so duh I'm just relisting it. Don't know why they've added this new restriction. It's for a transformer, if it helps.

>>2555160

Um, dude, that's kinda your fault for listing a fake price. What you should do is offer worldwide shipping but get the buyer to email you for a quote.

I'm outside of the USA and I see that quite a lot.

>>2555160
You didn't see the option "Calculated: Cost varies by buyer location" under International Shipping?

>>2555167
>What you should do is offer worldwide shipping but get the buyer to email you for a quote.
eBay doesn't offer the same options neither it works the same way all over the world, eBay wouldn't let me offer worldwide shipping without choosing between the two pricing options I talked about.

>>2555171
>You didn't see the option "Calculated: Cost varies by buyer location" under International Shipping?
Don't have that option on my eBay.

>>2555353
i just signed up for the hell of it. seems like an interesting idea, but most of the auctions really are for worthless crap. most of it is free though, so i guess it works out.

>>2555353
>You earn credits by selling in auctions, and use those credits to buy items in auctions. No cash involved, except to ship.
What if you don't want to sell anything, you just want to buy?

>>2555373
Read the sentence you just quoted again and think real fucking hard for a while.

Or hey, since thinking isn't your strong suit, go to the website and take a look at the section called 'How It Works'.

As a seller
>Have a 100% positive feedback profile with more than 150 transactions
>List a valuable item
>Auction ends at $270 with 11 bids
>Get email from winner
>"How can I be sure you'll send me the item once I paid?"
>All of my hate

As a buyer
>Ask a seller if the item he's selling is from a smoke free house
>"dat is the dumbest question i evar heard"

I laughed more than I should have.

Here's my eBay story:

>Selling a bunch of Lego Collectible Minifigs on eBay
> One dude bids on a whole bunch of them, including multiples of some (not just dupes, but like 4-5 of the same figure)
> Get message after auction ends saying "I only want one of each fig, no dupes. Can you please cancel the ones with the highest bids and just give me the ones I won with the lowest bid amount?"
> This isn't a direct quote, because he was foreign and much harder to understand.
> Tell him eBay doesn't work that way.
> He says just to cancel the whole thing then
> Tell him he can't
> After several exchanges, finally pressue him into paying for all the figs he bid on.
> Everything worked out in the end.

>>2555597
Was he Italian by any chance? Anytime someone buys something from me and then fucks about asking for discounts and shit they always seem to be Italian.

>>2555372
>worthless crap
Agreed. I've just spent the last half hour looking through it and not finding anything in any category that I'd ever want. Seems like a bunch of housewives posting shit that nobody else wanted either.

>toss some TFs up on eBay without their c-clip weapons
>auction ends, winner pays
>message: "what are c clipp weapons"
>tell him
>"but they come with weapons"
>tell him nope
>no response for two days, so I ship it
>earlier today: "i dont want them refund me now"

Also, some guy paid for his shit but the payment hasn't gone through, and he's acting like it's my fault. He's messaged me seven times asking for another invoice when I've already told him I can't send another if he's already paid and that he has to cancel the payment through PayPal.

Isn't there some kind of thing on eBay that states that once you win something, you are contractually obligated to pay for it? I've had so many people canceling on me recently. I'm a nice guy, so I usually let it slide, but everyone's got their limits and I'm reaching mine.

the very first thing i attempted to buy from ebay and won i was told by the seller

"im sorry i dont sell to people with no feedback"

fair enough i figured (though it should have been said int he description) "i'll just get my money back and buy from another seller.
i send a message to him asking for a refund of the money i had already payed to him. i get no response back, a week goes by. no response, no refund. so i send another message asking if he could please refund the monies i payed out before being informed he did not sell to no ratings buyers....nothing again for 3 days. i send one more final message detailing everything to him. NOTHING back from the seller. i go ahead and open a dispute to get my money and stop dicking around.

3 weeks pass before my dispute finally gets resolved through paypal with him.

i leave bad feedback on him with the comment saying
"seller lacked communication. did not clearly explain who items could be sold to and forced me to open dispute with paypal in order to receive refund"

he responds to my negative feedback with
" DO NOT TRUST THIS BUYER. SCAMMER"

-_-

> Want a Limited Edition Pax Halo Grunt Plushy
> All auctions are US only no Canada.
> Final someone posts one that ships international
> I buy it
> They ship it
> All is well

Shit like this makes me wary to sell things on ebay. I sold a Wreck-Gar there once and it worked out okay but the sheer amount of horror stories make me just wanna stick to the BST.

>>2555698
I literally just put a bunch of stuff on the BST thread because I'm not too fond of eBay anymore. Beyond the fact that they keep adding fees, I feel like every once in awhile a buyer is trying to get something for free. That, or the fact that they cause problems despite you doing everything correctly on your end.

I had a guy, with zero feedback, give me negative feedback because he purchased the wrong figure from me. I had another guy give me negative feedback saying he never got is items. Then he opened a claim on me. I sent him a priority mail tracking code, showing that the post office marked it as delivered, and never heard from him again. Ebay still held my money for a month despite having proof of shipping. Haven't sold anything there since.

I think it depends heavily on what's being sold. I don't doubt there are many manchildren who are retards and don't read auctions, but the chances are, the people having repeated selling issues are doing something wrong too.

who the fuck uses ebay anymore?

amazon market place in the superior option for buyers and sellers right now.

ebay is nothing like it once was. scams and other shady stuff everywhere. plus, fees out the ass.

>Buy some super human samurai toys off ebay
>wait three weeks and they don't arrive
>ebay page is now close
>is fucked
>shows up three weeks later with a not from grandma of seller

I just didn't know what the fuck was going on, but I got my shit.

Also

>Bidding for a titanus that had a fucked up description
>He was in an auction with some other PR shit I didn't want
>seller realizes parts go with another megazord and removes them from the auction
>to make up for it he adds another lot that didn't sell to my titanus
>bunch of free shit that I didn't want

uh everything went better than planned?

I don't buy or sell from ebay, but I knew a guy who made a living buying, upgrading then reselling computers off it. He was helping some guy sell a comp on ebay once for a comission since the guy didn't have his own ebay account. He told him the dues and don'ts of ebay then posted the auction.
A few days later the guy had tried to upbid his own auction and was found out by ebay and my friends perfect record and satisfaction rate was destoryed as he recieved a bunch of warnings and comments from ebay saying they are now investigating him and will hold all transactions until they were complete.
That wasn't some nickel and dime operation either, he made thousands off this business and was losing thanks to one idiot.

Actually now that I think of it, I have a weird ebay story.

>Browsing Virtual On crap on ebay

>Fei-Yen's ankles completely shattered, twintails have detached from the heart things on her head
>StealthGao broken off GGG's back

I got my money back, but there was one time I ordered a Sega Saturn that arrived the same way. The CD tray door was completely fucked because it was just bouncing around in a huge box and wouldn't close properly. I didn't get my money back off that because I had sent a picture with it on, plugged into the TV, showing the "CLOSE DISC DOOR" message wile the disc door was, in fact closed. Apparently that still "works".

>>2555675
I bought a gashapon Combattler V set from a seller. It arrived with the waist/leg piece broken at one hip. I emailed asking if he had a spare of that piece. Nothing. I email again. Nothing. Open a dispute through ebay. Nothing. Finally, the option to phone ebay direct comes up, so I call and explain everything, they refund the money. I leave negative feedback, the guy responds with the same "THIS GUY IS A SCAMMER" bullshit.

Still, fuck him. My feedback's perfect and I got the toy for free. Glued the piece back on and all was well with the world. Lost the hip articulation, but as the figure didn't have knee or ankle joints it doesn't make much difference.

>>2555724
How did he upbid his own auction if he didn't have an ebay account? and also how did ebay know that they were connected?

>>2555728
The next time something like that happens and you don't get your money back, report them for fraud.

>>2555100
>>2555133
To offer some defence to the people you're complaining about here, eBay did used to mix up all sorts of results, regardless of where they said they'd ship to. It also tends to offer North American results if it can't find anything in your country (since NA seems to have all sorts of shit). I've never made the mistake myself, but it's not like they've walked into McDonalds and tried to buy a flight to Spain.

>>2555711
Amazon Marketplace is really undeveloped and just not a competitor at all. And this is coming from someone who loves Amazon so much that loads of people just get me Amazon vouchers for Christmas because I always have Amazon envelopes around the house. It just doesn't have the userbase and also, on the off-chance it does have something a bit rare, it's insanely overpriced (Kino no Tabi figurine, about $100 from Yahoo.jp plus $60 middleman fees and postage, on Amazon Marketplace the same item was $400 without postage).

>>2555698

Guess what...

>Auction off an item
>Auction ends! and Money GET!
>Someone asks me a question about item and it isn't the winning the bidder
>"Can I still get that toy for +$5? I was going to bid but my computer crashed"
>LOL

>>2555707
>I feel like every once in awhile a buyer is trying to get something for free.

this is my big problem with ebay now. buyers can file a dispute for any reason and ebay will always side with the buyer for the slightest reason. and since sellers can't leave negative feedback anymore, buyers have nothing to lose from filing disputes. they can basically get their stuff for free. one guy filed a dispute because his items didn't arrive in three days after i shipped them, and ebay refunded his money immediately and screwed me over cause i didn't drive them and deliver them in person, apparently. ebay is driving out small sellers like us in favor of the huge power sellers.

>>2555969
This kind of shit why you always, always, ALWAYS add tracking, along with signature confirmation if the item is expensive. Preferably purchased online so you have a record of the address it was shipped to. Even if they try to fuck you by filing a dispute, you can nail them for mail fraud.

>>2555969

I made the mistake of shipping something "insured" since its trackable if you call USPS. Ebay does not recognize this since you can not click a button. Lost the item, money, and auction fees from scam dispute.

There needs to be an alternative to Ebay that is not amazon.

>>2556032
They sure do. You can buy them with minutes already on them, and once they run out, you buy more, or toss them. They've had them for at least 10 years, and they're about 25 bucks a pop.

>>2556038
Yep!
Never said it wasn't. But it was totally worth every moment.

>>2556049
Well, whatever amuses you, I guess.

>>2555052
Yeah, so I did that today and got my refund from the seller a couple hours ago. Apparently, she hadn't shipped out my toy despite 20 days having passed since I paid....

>>2556011
That was petty, vindictive, and downright cruel.

I loved it :3

>>2556056
Never wait too long before filing a dispute. It must be within 45 days of payment. After that eBay/PayPal will just say tough shit, too late.

>>2556066
>>>2556011
>That was petty, vindictive, and downright cruel.
You forgot "fictional"

>>2556011
>Report to eBay, they do nothing

This is where your story gets unbelievable. If an item hasn't been paid for on eBay they credit your FVF fees without issue. That's been the case since forever.

Not to sound like a shill, but Crave.com has started to seem like a pretty good alternative to eBay, especially for sellers.

Listings are simple and easy, and there are no fees for sellers, rather the buyers pay a small commission. You ship the item with tracking, plug the number into the website, then the buyer has two days to dispute after the item is shown as delivered. After that, Crave pays you, and the transaction is completely over. Crave themselves holds the money in the meantime, so I believe you're shielded from any kind of ongoing Paypal dispute bullshit.

Only downside is that they only have Transformers, Star Wars, and GI Joe right now. It works through your Facebook login, and it has a kind of stupid, addictive little "points" system to go along with your user profile, where you vote and comment on good deals for points.

Like I said, I mainly like it because you don't have to worry about your transactions coming back to bite you in the ass later, and it's free to sell.

>>2556534
Could you sound any MORE like an online advertiser?

It's like you cut & pasted some phrases from the script they gave you, adding in names of toys & curse words.

You can't just say 'no thanks' when you win an auction, guy! I really want negative feedback back for buyers.

Um, no. That's what the Buy it Now is for, retard. Even if you're going to haggle, you can't start at the opening bid price.

Check the dude's profile. Has left negative feedback for buying items from U.S. sellers who explicitly don't ship worldwide, then leaving negative feedback when they don't ship to Brazil.
Some other dude uses Buy it Now 5 minutes later.

>disaster avoided.

>>2556534
I've used Crave, and it's a decent system. I don't like the facebook aspect, but if it had a wider selection, or more of single items and lots, I'd use it over ebay

>>2557740
.....is box?

>>2557887
Box is NO!

If I had a nickle for every time I got the "My son bid on the auction without my permission, please cancel this transaction" bullshit from some asshat with buyers remorse... well... I'd have a shitload of fucking nickels.

Don't sell on eBay, only BUY.

There are separate auction sites for things like games, toys, antiques, et cetera. You buy on eBay because most sellers are idiots. You don't SELL on eBay because most buyers are fucking faggots.

Gamegavel is a site I've been THINKING about selling on, but I've yet to buy anything from sellers there yet... Since on that site, people tend to be gaming community types and KNOW the value of what they're selling, unlike eBay where it's "found this stupid video game with some printed sticker on it, only plays stupid rad racer and mario 3 and crap. thought it was zelda, but I got ripped off, so if you want this turd, $5."

Here is a good story, should make you lol or rage...

>have a friend who makes costumes
>makes a screen accurate SW one a few years ago
>spend a lot of money making it
>decides to sell it in October hoping someone will pay big for Halloween
>sells it and basically breaks even
>buyer says "I don't get paid for the next 2 weeks, but i NEEEEED the costume before then for a party, can you send it now and I will pay you when i get paid?"
>friend says "derp ok!" and sends the guy the costume, without payment
>few weeks later (after Halloween), buyer says "the costume really isn't want I wanted so I'm just gonna send it back."
>friend doesn't understand what went wrong

If i'm lyin', i'm dyin'....

I 'm sure you guys have seen this kinda shit before:

>Item has a shit ton of " Buy it Now " listings W/ free shipping for $20
>Finally find one slightly cheaper for $15
>Retards bid and bid / Price jack until it goes for $26
All of my fucking rage, why do they do this stupid shit when the could have bought it for $20?

This next one you'll see more on Amazon but sometimes still happens on ebay.
>Slightly new release average retail $20-$24
>Look for a cheaper one on the seller list
>There is always one retard at the bottom whose price is usually $80-179
Do people actually pay that much for common shit?Why waste the energy listing something that you will never sell? Even complete idiots wouldn't randomly buy it, so why bother?

>>2557740
>Um, no. That's what the Buy it Now is for, retard. Even if you're going to haggle, you can't start at the opening bid price.

Um, Yeah. That's how you haggle, retard. The buyer throws you the price he wants to pay, you give him the amount you want, and you go back and forth until you find a happy medium. He can start at any price he chooses.

>Put an item on my watch list that's $108. The price is meh, but I saved it just in case I can haggle with them or he puts it on sale.

>A week or two goes by and he never sales it.
>The next relisting he put it on sale for $105 ( Only $3 off? Still a lolno from me)
>Another week or two goes by and still doesn't sale it at his new super duper three dollar off discount.

lmfao oh wow. How epic.

>>2555075
An update to this story. I mailed out his item Monday. He sends me a message Thursday night:

>"Where is my item?"
>It's shipped, I added the tracking info to the listing and marked it as shipped.
>"Can I have tracking number?"
>It's on the eBay listing. (I was at a bar with friends, didn't want to sit there for 5 minutes copy pasting shit, I was on my mobile).
>"It's in ebay? I dont understand"
>Yes, if you click on the listing, you will see a button that says track package. Or from your home screen.
>"Send it to me?"
>(FORFUCKSAKE) copy/paste the tracking number. You should really learn how to use eBay.
>"Don't insult me!"
>It's not an insult if it's clearly true you do not know how to use eBay.
>"I don't know why the package isn't here yet! It said 7-8 days! Why isn't it here yet! Not knowing how to use eBay doesn' t mean my packages have to be slow!"
>Ohboy. You paid on the 16th. It takes 24 business hours to clear payment. Then I have five business days handling time. Weekends don't count. So I shipped perfectly on time."


He hasn't repsonded yet. I sold a laptop that has no hard drive, which it clearly stated in the listing. I'm waiting for him to complain about that since I know this fucker can't read.

>>2557949
I have a fulltime job, a girlfriend whom I live with, and I had about 20 auctions listed. Five days handling time is nothing. Max amount is 10 I believe.

>>2555724

How did he upbid the auction if he didn't have an account?

>>2555735

Sellers can no longer leave negative feedback

>>2557928
No, the least offer he should have started out with was $41. Why would I lower the Buy it Now price to match the starting bid price?

>>2556011

20 months of work for $75. Who's the batshit crazy one?

>>2557970
No, He can offer you whatever he wants. You don't have to accept that offer.

>Why would I lower the Buy it Now price to match the starting bid price?
I didn't say you had to. You really have some reading comprehension problems there, Corky. PLUS, you can't haggle worth a shit apparently.

Haggling is for third-world mudslimes who smell of anise, jasmine and body odor.

>>2557922 should make you lol or rage
That made me kinda sad :(

>>2557740
I really feel bad about those monkeys on my country. Soon, no one will want to sell shit to Brazil because of those faggots (and the others who open a dispute on PayPal because their items didn't arrive yet due to customs). Wait, I should've mentioned them first because they are THE cancer of our buyers

>>2558083
I won't sell to Brazil because of two auctions where this crap has happened.

Civilization was built on haggling, my boy.

How do you get combined shipping?
Do not not pa until the seller gives you an invoice?
Do you have to ask before bidding?

>>2558146
Yeah, and look where that has got us.

>>2556465

how'd you manage that?

>>2557561

Already acknowledged that. I deliberately did want to make it sound good, because the site will be better with more activity, and it's a pretty good system if they can actually keep it running.

>>2557928
No, that's what the "Best Offer" option is for. If he didn't have that option available for buyers, then he can tell whoever trying to "haggle" to go piss a monkey.

>>2557958

I've dealt with buyers like that before... it's like they just make shit up to fuss about at every goddamn step in the process.

"Look Lenny, another fucktard that can't read!"

Where did it say in that post that the seller HAS to accept any offer, you fucking moron?
The bidder can offer whatever he wants. Two cents for the item if he so desires. Doesn't mean the seller has to accept it. But the bidder is not obligated in any way shape or form to offer a certain price.

>to go piss a monkey.

And you are an illiterate fucktard as well.

>Go to any store

>Offer two cents for some random shit

>Be looked at like you just grew a second head

>Throw a fit because they don't take you offer seriously

>Be treated like a moron and be thrown out of the store

It not because you "can" do something that it's logical or smart. Either you are too dumb to understand that simple fact, or you are trolling the shit out of people.

>>2558714
I love it when sellers make no effort to respond to communication, then immediately fly into a rage when you neg them. A guy last year I bought 2 items from only sent one of them, first refused to believe me when I told him, then tried to brush it off with "I don't know what's happened to it then", then offered substitute items which I declined, doesn't respond to that, doesn't respond to my next e-mail a week later, after another week I just say fuck it and leave a negative and he's hurling abuse at me within 30 minutes. What the fuck else did he expect?

>>2558714
>>2558724

As for now you just have to fila a case. The feedback will never get your money/item. The Case and the Paypal Protection Program will.

>>2558726
Actually, you'd be amazed how much people will pay to get rid of negative feedback. In that instance the time had elapsed to open a dispute (slow dispatch, took a while to arrive from overseas, then he was incredibly slow to reply to me each time), but after getting a negative he issued a full refund for the absent items in exchange for feedback revision.

Similar case with another guy, bought a "Mint in mint box" Diaclone, both had damage which was concealed in the photos, seller pulls the "caveat emptor" bullshit, refuses to pay for return shipping, I leave negative feedback and he issues a full refund and lets me keep the figure for a positive rating. I don't know why he didn't just pay the $30 return shipping in the first place if he was that worried about negative feedback, he wound up losing a lot more than that.

>>2558777
It's like that XKCD comic. You could mail a bobcat once every 30 packages and still have a decent rating.

You only get 100% once, so they try to hold onto it.

>>2555019
new sellers are limit until get 100 feedbacks...

>>2558807

Care to translate?

When I have a seller who drags ass I always send an email threatening negative feedback... it seems to work, and avoids some of the bullshit. I have had that not work at all too, so... whattayagonnado?
