He's selling a single item or two in multiple sales; i.e. if you are sellig sex pills, energy pills or something along those lines you are much more likely to have those kind of figures.
Try putting on 3,500 to 5,000 items as two of the members here have done; just ordinary household items, clothing, books, collectible figurines, etc. The 3,500 member does well; the 5,000 member has about 10 sales a month...low end used stuff.
There is no ONE right answer.
Your response didn’t address the most important aspect, tying up my money for a few days in limbo while the dust settles.
If anybody wants to play businessperson on Ebay they should go all in and keep their paperwork straight. Those that don’t want to act with ethics or operate with a lax attitude don’t deserve to have seller accounts. PERIOD!
BTW, I’ve only been a member of Ebay since early 2001. A total Ebay newbie, just like you said.
LOL!
Sure, I understand what you are saying.
However, the listing didn’t say there was only one remaining in stock. I prefer to not waste my time, and lockup my money in limbo (with a buy it now) for a few days because a seller can’t keep his records straight.
It is a simple concept. If you have 10 of something to sell on Ebay then set 10 of that something aside so they don’t get sold elsewhere.
In the real world, this is called bait and switch and it is illegal. A store will run an ad for something that they have no way of fulfilling sales. The store hopes that the consumer will continue shopping for something after they find that the original item is out of stock or the store will offer something else.
Looks like Travis chose the wrong business. Amazing how those sex pills sell.
Do you have a resource available for us to read about this news further?
I was looking at Ebay recently for a printer that I needed for a CNC dedicated box. Since it is located in my shop I really didn’t want anything expensive because of the environment it will be in.
Anyway, I thought Ebay would be the perfect route. I found a cheapie and bought it for $39.00 (new). The next day I get a email from the seller telling me that he refunded my payment because he doesn’t have that printer in stock anymore. WTF! He had it listed with 5 available and 5 sold and you don’t have anymore in stock!
To say I was pissed was an understatement!
At first I couldn’t figure out how to leave a negative feedback. I think the link wasn’t there until a few days after the refund was processed and both parties agreed to the end of the Ebay transaction.
But OH! The feedback I left when I was able to! The dude was sending me emails (outside the Ebay messaging system) begging for me to reverse my feedback. I never changed it and the feedback is still in his profile.
Anyway, I can imagine if the news about being able to get feedback removed is true, Ebay is just setting them selves up for more work in the long run and more running costs being passed down to us members.
Please pass along a link if you have one…
Edit to add:
PS, I went on the Wal-Mart website and found a great Canon Printer for $29.00. I called the store up and it was in stock and they honored the Internet price for the in store sale. Bingo!
I should have Checked Wal-Mart first
