  • I worked in a Cash Converters.

    DVD players are just a disposable item these days, it's a sad fact, but new ones from supermarkets can be bought for just over £10.

    I used to take them in for fiver, buff them up, get a couple of old DVDs and sell the bundle for £10. We did get flooded with them, with about 15 a day coming up for sale!

    DVDs are difficult, with today 20mb broadband connection, folks rather download something, than fork out a lot for a DVD, I used to pay 50p - £2, as some of the DVDs coming in where given away free in Sunday papers!

    You are right there as some very bad buyers, who havn't got a clue how to deal with customers!

    I only asked what the bare minimum would be that they'd pay for the items in general. I was told the mimimum is £3 for a DVD player and £10 for a TV/VCR combi, both items are ones I want rid of.

    Aparently they don't sell multimedia headsets; shame as I have a new pair in packaging I was given that I don't want. I can't sell on eBay as I can't get a Paypal account due to a bad credit rating etc whichI am trying to get sorted.

    Do you need a paypal account to sell on ebay now? Can't you just accept cheque/postal orders? or get a friend with a paypal account to help you out?

    failing that - try selling them in the local paper?

    no in order to use ebay now as a seller, you HAVE to offer paypal as a payment option.

    the sole reason i no longer use ebay.
