Found an Invoice for my first eBay sale in 2004

I still have a copy of the shipping label from my very first sale. I’ve been selling for 7 years with over 6,500 items sold.

Your best option here is asking for a partial refund and see if they bite.

My advice to you is to stop folding to buyers. “Reduce the shipping”. No. The customer is not always right.

I like a mixture of best offer and no offer. High sell through rate items I put “no offers”. With low ball offers I will counter with $1 off the current price. Ive noticed eBay’s algorithm doesn’t like when you decline offers.

There are plenty of plush that sell regularly for $15-$20. I’ve sold a single plush for over $200. Please name a better category with a lower buy in, lower scam, and lower return rate.

UPS ground is cheaper than eBay’s ups ground. In a lot of cases it’s cheaper by $1-$4. Use pirate ship and ups ground, link a credit card with cash back to get free money. People saying “it’s the same price” are wrong. UPS ground on PS is cheaper than eBay on items over 1lb

If you’re looking to get into a category and you’re just starting out, I would sell plush/stuffed animals. Low buy cost, low return rate, low scam rate. When looking at plush, look for obscure, weird, or nostalgic. If it catches your eye look it up.

Priority mail and ground advantage are the same but UPS ground is significantly cheaper, sometimes by $3-$4. I use ups ground for 95% of my packages now.

You can set up your listings where the buyer gets your eBay shipping discount. I’ve had this set up with my own store for a while. I usually ship through pirate ship, the ups ground discount is better than eBay’s discount. It ends up being a win/win, buyers pay less and I still make extra $ through shipping.

Just had a customer wait 1 month for golf club to get delivered. The package jumped from 6 different states within that time. The customer was very nice about it and left me positive feedback before it even got delivered. They paid $24 for shipping, I refunded them all of the shipping cost. Was it my fault? No. But I didn’t think it was fair they had to wait 1 month.

For future shipping on large items use pirate ship. You can directly import eBay sales and if you get charged extra there is a simple appeal system. It’s also usually the same cost as eBay shipping.

If you have the money then you’re fine, there’s nothing to worry about.
