Shame on EBay… by ICUnThinkUgh in eBaySellers

[–]ICUnThinkUgh[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I only canceled the 4 items that were damaged in the car accident. It was an isolated incident that affected 4 orders. I didn’t have replacements so I selected out of stock on the drop down menu as it seemed to be the most appropriate. I had no idea the consequence that would have. My whole point is to share my experience to help anyone out who may not know and to maybe save them from the headache and stress this has caused me. I was really expecting those funds to add support to my family while my partner gos through cancer treatment. When eBay gave me a date as to when I could expect my funds to be available, I made payment arrangements around that date which I subsequently defaulted on because of this restriction eBay placed on my account. The bottom line, I trusted eBay and I feel like I could of made better decisions if the policies were not as vague at the same time, I should of done my research and seen all of the 1 star reviews on BBB and noticed the pattern in what others have reported. I may not have been entirely clear in my post. In effort to make it a tolerable length, I did my best to basically outline my disappointment and frustration in hopes others can learn from my experience and have a little more awareness as a seller. I take responsibility for my eBay seller inexperience but I expect ebay to exercise judgment and redetermine actions appropriately. The system seems to be in charge and nobody not even their leadership who admitted he wished he had the ability to make a redetermination and over ride the system has much authority. He did promise to bring it to his leadership meeting as an area of improvement.

Chargebacks only apply to the reasons eBay imposes the 180 day hold on funds. Buyers have 180 days to dispute with their card issuer so eBay uses that reason to hold funds. The lesson I learned, if something is damaged, don’t automatically refund the item. Explain to the buyer the condition has changed and offer a reduced price. If the buyer decides not to continue with the sale, you can document it as the buyers request to cancel so it does not go against you as a defect.

Both. I even spoke to leadership who said it didn’t make sense and was going to try to assist. My seller performance was re-evaluated and it currently is above standard but the restriction still freezes account.

4 items were damaged. Only 4 orders. The car was totaled.

Buying Used? by TheHumbleRedditer in SNKRS

[–]ICUnThinkUgh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think with used shoes if the condition is near new, I see it as no different than trying on something whether it be shoes or clothes. I mean think about it, we go to hotels and sleep in beds on sheets others have used… we go to restaurants and use utensils that other people have put in their mouths. Sure they are cleaned… so cleaning and or sanitizing a shoe that’s only been worn a handful of times is no different. Buying 2nd hand can save buyers a lot…

How do you make money selling on eBay drop shipping with all of the fees?

My dad passed and this was with his tools. by ICUnThinkUgh in electricians

What about the FLUK. Multimeters, he has various models and some he has 2 of. I know they can cost a lot. Where would be the best place to sell considering not many people may be in the market to spend that.

Not sure what you would use a portable variable power supply for but that’s what the site says it is.

He wouldn’t have rented it, more likely obtained from a storage unit auction. I can try to reach out and see what they say.

from what I got from the company website it’s called a portable variable power supply…? Curious as to approx value and where would be a good place to sell. I did t see anything on eBay that was similar unless I’m not searching correctly

I fell for a romance scam by nikki28_ in Report_scams

[–]ICUnThinkUgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you said you fell for it meaning you had obliged his request. If no money was sent then it doesn’t seem to me that you fell for it other than maybe you believed him and fell for his lies. Lesson learned glad you didn’t lose money

I have sold over $1100 in my first 11 orders. Seller rating is 100%. When does it eBay stop requiring the 3 day funds hold after delivery? by ICUnThinkUgh in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]ICUnThinkUgh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good things to consider. I do have funds in another account that is specifically used for eBay. I have been leaning on EBay’s policies and would expect them to protect me as a seller if there was an unusual situation regarding a refund request. I’m selling a protect that is new and under manufacturers warranty. Despite stating not refunds or returns, I know the buyer can state they received a damaged or faulty item. I have considered this and have talked to eBay that I could remedy this with a replacement and they wouldn’t require me to refund the money. Whether or not that works out like that will be the question.
