my partner sold a brand new in box halloween bad fairy wig about 2 years ago we sent it recorded because the woman was requesting it to be sent to a unregistered address she claimed for weeks that the item had not been received and kept telling us she worked for the post office and got quite nasty anyways even though we had proof of recorded delivery it had not been signed for at the other end paypal refunded the woman and low and behold the parcel was signed for the next day it made me really mad !!!

As far as i know (i may well be wrong) the only sure fire way of winning a pay pal dispute is if you use Royal mail special next day delivery as there is electronic tracking and proof of sig.

Obviously the cost is prohibitive until you get to the £50 + .

I think the best way is similar to in USA where you can add insurance (roughly £1 for every £15 of goods). This way even if tou get scammed by the buyer through paypal, you can get your money back)

Well worn trainers with 'gay interest' written in the title seem to sell well on ebay!

yuk. I go through bouts of selling on ebay. Once a month I am involved in MDCC which is for charity but because of the high fees it isn't worth selling low value items anymore.

my teenage son's outgrown a few pairs of trainers which are pretty shabby looking and he's got shoulder length hair- worth a try i reckon! :rotfl:

my friend had some stockings that she had bought bopgopf. she wore 1 pair and they didn't fit right so the other pair she put on ebay along with some shoes, in a jokey manner. she was selling the shoes and she put on the auction she was throwing in a pair of brand new hold ups with the shoes. a man emailed her and asked her to wear the hold ups and take a photo of herself in them, but just from the ankle down, and send send them unwashed. she immediately removed the listing and took the shoes, AND stockings to the charity shop! :rotfl::rotfl::T

You clearly have not had experiences like I have on ebay. Lucky you. Even Recorded delivery does not save you from paypal's inability to sniff out a chancer. I had a guy SIGN for his item, but because the signature could not be retrieved online, I rung RM and asked for apaper copy. I faxed it to Paypal, but they wouldn't accept it as it couldn't be retrieved online. I argued until I was sick that it wasn't MY Fault it wasnt recorded online, only on paper, but they still refunded the guy. Royal mail were not interested as they had a signature to prove the delivery! The police said it was a civil matter. hiding to nothing.
I list my stuff at a price I am prepared to accept. I list things when I am having a clear out of the toy box/wardrobe and the kids get the money from the stuff of theirs that is listed. It helps them to realise the value of money, they save up and buy things and sell things to aid their savings for holidays too. If something goes through at 99p, yes, a sale is a sale. IF it's on a level playing field. Tonights !!!! up on the software on ebay is a different matter. It wasn't a level playing field and I am pleased not to have had anything end tonight.

someone had a mr squiggles just go through at 99p with NO BIDS!!!!!!!!!

I agree, I think that people need to forget what people are selling, what the start price is, how many they are selling it's irrelevant, Tina is right it wasn't a level playing field.
I wasn't buying or selling tonight and rarely do either, when I do sell I want the best price, and when I buy I want a bargain of course, but if a glitch alters the playing field in favour of one side then that's not fair.

ok horrible experience.....and you have just proved how hard RM are to get compensation out of(even by good sellers like yourself).i was accused of stealing off RM(in a post showing how angry these sellers cancelling made me feel,I SAID IM HONEST AND ITS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD ACTUALLY DO)) when clearly the SELLER refunds ...then seller tries to claim off RM for what they paid for item(they also demand reciepts for the item??cos we all keep them??nope)..so seller needs proof of posting to claim for lost item...plus reciept...but the seller must still have refunded buyer as paypal wont entertain it without tracking number...so claim in favour of buyer(as always)....they will do anything to avoid paying out...and if you had read my other post i said id had a chargeback and paid up then got a "haha thanx" email from the buyer!!!...and as for recorded??my signature sometimes is my initials (if im juggling my daughter,the dog and the dinner) and the postie never says anything which is awful..how is that proof??.ramble ramble....have calmed down now!!!!!!!!!!!!lmao

I was a bit naive when I first started selling on ebay. I got my son to photograph me wearing a coat or a top etc which I was selling and got some very odd messages via ebay. One person asked if I could supply them with more photo's of a top but would I raise both my arms above my head for the photo! bizarre!

I now do not model any clothing for auctions.

One of the funniest auctions I ever saw was when I was looking for a party dress for my daughter and there was a lovely pink frilly dress being modelled by a very sullen looking boy. The seller wrote that she was very sorry about the picture but her daughter had outgrown the dress but her son fitted in and had VERY reluctantly modelled it. Priceless!

It is the weirdest thing about ebay. I've sold some lovely expensive stuff at almost a loss and then we list some tat and are amazed by the final fee. :eek:

I sold the 1st 6 seasons of CSI for about £15.75 + £10 P&P
All watched once in excellent condition must cost me £180.

Then I put my mums old fashion sideboard on for local pick up only (which limits the audience). It was an ugly big mahogany thing but sold for £95.
Didnt think she'd give it away.

SOld 20 year old carebears for about £15.00 each but lost about 90% on some year old sylvanian families stuff.

One mans trash really is another mans treasure i guess
