Make sure you record the serial numbers of the items as well then if something needs to be returned you can match up what you sent.

Do you mean write the serial number on the listing, or just keep a record of it for myself?

Just a record of it yourself at this stage but a buyer may ask for it to match the item when sent.

I also mark expensive items with a UV security pen AND record serial numbers.
Amazing how many potential returns aren't followed up when you tell the buyer that security markings must match before I refund on an item.
And always send Special Delivery for items worth more than £46.
Sadly, there are scammers out there.

PS my complaining International Bidder is now grumbling about postage (that's why I have UK-only auctions) but says she will pay up today.

Thanks for the tips about the serial numbers. Hopefully I won't need to check them, but you never know.

I have sold the item now for a nice price. Should be a clear £135 once the fees and postage are paid. I'll be relieved once it's been posted, received by the buyer and positive feedback has been left!!!

*KT*

I've got my first non-payer and I've just had my first negative buying experience too.

Remind me, why do I like eBay again?!

I thought I had one of those and was preparing to open a case against him today but he paid last night at 11:50 something!

well in a bid to make as much money as possible towards our holiday in a few weeks, I listed 49 items of clothes as a job lot. Started them at 99p and guess what they sold for? Yup...99p

Less ebay fees i'd say I made a rather big mistake. Was hoping i'd get something a bit better than that. Even £5 booo

Aaaah well, some ya win eh?

I've managed to sell 6 things this week on ebay which ended today. Pretty happy with that even if it is only from 99p listings.

I started listing on the 7th of April, and so far have made £149, but £25 of that hasn't been paid yet, and I've got 3 unpaid item cases open so I'll probably never see that money. It makes me so cross, I'm selling stuff because I'm moving house next week so I really wanted to have this stuff posted and forgotten about before then. Why do these inconsiderate people bid, then waste your time having to chase them up? Grr!

Still, that £124 I've made is very pleasing. Mustn't complain.

You probably would have made more money if you included sizes more descriptions etc.
