I think mos tof experiences as a seller is a horror story. Ebay is great for collectibles but their rules and regulations have ruined the seller experience.
Now its always pins and needles after every item is sold wondering what complaint or low dsr will I get. I mean people on ebay there is something wrong with them. I list something used they leave negative saying item was used and not new !
they complain and only way to make them happy is some money back , etc, etc. plenty of good experiences but you always scared when will the shoe drop again.
Oh here is great horror story of mine .. So ebay collection calls me and demands I pay them for a month of none payment , I tell them I already paid, they say no , it did not go through. I tell them yes I did not have money on paypal at the time so I paid again with paypal one time payment. they said it did not go through. So they put me on 3 way with paypal and paypal says according to them payment went through. Ebay insists I pay again. I tell them I cannot even pay because if I make another payment it will only show for next month. They say go make a payment and we will make sure it does not go toward the next month payment. So I do and it goes through and I say ok. I paid. during this time my paypal payment from earlier was pending. Next day both payments go through for 4 grand each and Im screwed. Now I call and tell them that both went through, they say there is no way I could have made two payments and it was something I did myself. that they only credit the difference between what I owe for the next month and the amount I paid. I had like 3k already in fees at the time. So I would only get 1k back plus it would take two weeks so I might not get anything back when they finally refund because I kept on selling.
I said well how the heck am I suppose to ship all these items , you took all my money from paypal I had reserved for these items to be shipped. they said email my customers and they could not help me with that. So of course I got a lot of low dsr scores even though I emailed because I had to wait a couple of days to get money and send out these packages a lot of packages. so my account goes below standard and ebay restricts how many items I can sell a month to only three thousand dollars worth down from 150k worth and they hold my money on paypal.
what the heck , stopped using them then. I have collectibles and car parts backed up now . Got to find another way to sell them. So if anyone has any suggestions let me know.
