I will be looking out for your auctions!<br />Just keep in mind that selling is much different than buying...ebay is always on the side of the buyer, so cover yourself for all liabilities. I think the best thing I have learned is to wait a day or two before responding to a customers unpleasant email. You'll react much more calm and friendly and avoid problems which may lead to negative feedback. If a buyer claims that something arrived damaged, ask for pictures to verify...unfortunately fraud can get the better of naive people. Communication with your customers is key. Print your shipping labels online through paypal...it saves you time, money, and inlcudes free tracking to put your customers at ease.<br />Hope this helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719027560662681292.post-65787066947967766422010-01-22T19:06:00.452-07:002010-01-22T19:06:00.452-07:00I'm adding your blog to my favorites...

You have some lovely items.<br /><br />The only ebay tip I have is to check out their 'very specific' rules when selling items that will benefit a charity if you'll be mentioning that charity in the auctions. In my experience with this, letting bidders know its for charity often brings in higher bids but ebay has a specific process for doing this.Into Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207115790435481356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719027560662681292.post-19771660395706008002010-01-19T09:05:07.059-07:002010-01-19T09:05:07.059-07:00I went back to read your linked post about over co...I went back to read your linked post about over collecting and the binge/purge process. Having the same issues, over the years I have sold much and bought much more. I like to think that I am just saving or holding vintage treasures until they find someone to love them.

Kinda turned me off on eBay and I haven't sold anything on eBay since. <br /><br />Be sure to price your items high enough to cover the fees eBay and Paypal charge you. (Obviously you don't want to sell something for $2.00 and have $4.00 in fees.) <br /><br />Always, always, always buy delivery confirmation when you mail your packages. (Factor the cost into your starting bid price.) You'll be glad you did when that one dishonest buyer *says* they didn't get their item. If you don't have proof, Paypal will make you refund the buyer's money (including shipping!). <br /><br />All sellers on eBay must accept Paypal but Paypal looks out more for the buyer than the seller. Even if you say "No Refunds," Paypal will make you issue a refund if a buyer isn't happy...for ANY reason.<br /><br />Pack breakables VERY carefully. It is the seller's responsibility to get the item to the buyer all in one piece. (It might be wise to buy insurance and factor the cost into your starting bid price.) If the item arrives broken, you must refund the price of the item and shipping to the buyer. If you don't, Paypal will (if the buyer files a "Significantly Not As Described" claim).<br /><br />You will have a much better selling experience on eBay if you are well educated on selling Do's and Don'ts. You can learn a lot by reading the eBay Answer Center, a forum where people ask experienced eBay members for advice/help. Here's the link: http://answercenter.ebay.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1<br /><br />Good luck!Shari @ My Cottage of Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11438747359748779374noreply@blogger.com
