That's what I'm afraid of! I don't want to lose my authentic product AND my cash. I just hope the process goes smoothly from here. You never know! I may not even get the bag back since this lady wanted ME to pay for the return shipping.

eBay / Re: The 99 Cent Start

The issue that I have with the .99 start is that .99 is not worth my time to prepare the item for mailing and dropping it at the post office. I find it much more effective to start with a fair price and offer free shipping.

10% is awesome! The lowest commission I can find is 25% and that's because I know the guy! It's great that she does so much advertising and you don't have to be there to make sales. Congrats!

Ebay's decision was that the customer will send back the bag and issue a refund. We'll see if I get the same bag back. I really don't want to even accept the bag back and I'll be very upset if I get a different bag back. I'm not sure how they came up with this decision being that the buyer showed no evidence that the bag is fake, I took pictures from all angles including additional which were asked for by the buyer and when pressed to show evidence of the bag being fake, all the buyer could do was complain that the tassels were "yucky". I think Ebay may have just lost me as a seller.

I've only bought 1 locker this month. I've been doing a lot of yard sale picking, cleanouts, estate cleanouts, etc. to keep busy.

The locker I bought was for $220. Had a beautiful marble high top table with 4 pleather chairs. Sold the set for $400. Had a 50" TV stand in it, sold it for $80. Also had a men's bike ($30) and other items which I have not sold yet. Coffee table and matching end tables, pictures, home decor stuff.. Was a good score, but nothing exciting inventory-wise.

Sweet! I love that kind of stuff, but it's a SLOW sale around here. I now use that for my ebay stock.

Is this your own space (i.e. you have your own keys to your own door) or is this a rented space inside a bigger store like an antique mall situation?

Either way congratulations! There are positives and negatives to both. I'd like to hear more about your situation in your new venture!

Yep, I took good pictures. This person even asked me to take additional pictures, which I did.. of course. She went away for now, but Ebay still has to decide what they're doing.

I'm also uneasy about selling designer stuff online because of the high rate of counterfeits. However, I did get these bags checked out at a local used clothes boutique. They offered to buy them from me, but I felt like I could get more on ebay and I was comfortable with the fact that they were willing to make me an offer. I sold 5 other bags with no issues, I bought all 6 bags from the same person.

Since this one is causing me such a big headache, I feel like they're trying to get one over on me. I guess we'll just wait to see what ebay has to say, because I'm not giving her money back. She hasn't given me a good argument for it being fake except that it's not like the newest version.

eBay / Handling Customer Complaints

I recently sold a Kate Spade hand bag on ebay and now the buyer is saying that the bag is not authentic. I always take merchandise like this to local 'experts' to get it somewhat authenticated. I bought 6 designer bags including this one in question from the same person at a yard sale. Each other bag sold without question to its authenticity and now this person has a problem with the most expensive of all the bags.

I'm suspicious that I'm going to receive a fake bag in place of my authentic bag. She is comparing my used bag to other new bags. I clearly stated multiple times that my bag is used. She is saying that the tags are wrong, again saying that the other bags on ebay have the right tag, when they are just newer and have the latest tag.

I've explained all this to the buyer, but they aren't accepting my answers. Anyone else sell these type of items on Ebay? Had them escalate to Ebay through the resolution center? Results?

The Lounge / Re: Facebook offers 3 BILLION to SnapChat !
« on: November 15, 2013, 11:02:22 AM »
I can't believe they turned it down. SnapChat is a fad. I had the app for a few days but couldn't really get it to work. I'm fairly savvy with that stuff too. There's no way, that I could figure out, to find your Facebook friends. Just friend by email.. and who has that anymore? Facebook would have turned the app into a much more sustainable app by including it into their portfolio of apps and programs.

SnapChat is holding out for bigger bucks, but they'll end up selling for far less, IMO.

This week I've seen a lot of people asking for Christmas items. Decor, lights, etc. If you have any Dept. 56 or other collectible Christmas items, now's the time to dust it off and sell it!

I'd like to find one too! Around here, there are tons of Civil War artifacts in the ground. I just don't want to shell out the big bucks to really effectively look for them.

Craigslist / Re: The letter S can make a difference

I think craigslist did change their search algorithm. Used to be that you could type in a partial word and get results. Not anymore!
