Ebay advice in buying and selling !
Ebay advice in buying and selling !
1: When selling an item always put "buyer requirements" by following the below:
Go to my ebay
then Site Preferences on the right link
the Buyer Requirements on under the Selling Preferences heading
Here I tend to select all options, but a quick read through would explain what you need and what you dont, then as the bottom select "Apply above settings to current and future listings" which stops you having to do it each time you select.
2: When listing an item, and if you select buy it now you can select "Require Immediate Payment when Buy It Now is used" this will stop your item selling without payment. So it will only sell to an individual once there have made the payment through Paypal. This is very useful as many people use buy it now and then take time to pay or change they mind.
3: When offering delivery services always offer one which is appropriate to the price of the item, recorded delivery for items under 30 pounds, and special for anything under 500 pounds, no matter what happens if an item goes missing and the buyer claims he/she has not recieved, no matter what evidence you provide to paypal, they will always see it in the buyers favor, but with the appropriate level of cover you can get your money back from the courier
This goes to buying aswell, but then again you safe with paypal as if you dont recieve it, i reckon 99% you'll get you money back
4: If someone does bid on your item and you dont want them, let say the feedback is not upto scratch you can cancel bids by the following method:
On the selling item page click on the number of bids
At the bottom there is a cancel bids link
And again cancel bids
Then just enter the information required, and be honest for the reason for cancellation as the bidder recieves the reason
This is ideal at the last minute as well, but with buyer requirements on, not many dodgy buyers will slip through
5: Always clear state at the end of the description whether you offer returns or not, not mentioning anything is not enough and can lead to loosing disputes if something was going to go wrong.
6: I have bought many phones which have never been as described, always point out any relevant damage or problems, otherwise you will be shooting yourself in your foot.
With the above you will be succesful in selling items, I followed it all when I use to buy and sell mobiles on Ebay, and out of the 20+ phones no idiot had a chance to buy any of my phones and I made about 20 quid on each one.
If anyone else got any other tips, go on share !
Thanks

I just bid £2 for an itouch, but im guessing its going to go for nearly £100. Always worth it though. It might just get left for the £2 i put :p
Just checked and ive been outbid, what a surprise.
Sorry if you read my comment here. Me being stupid. Someones probably put a £100 max bid on it, but its coming up as "Enter 7.50" or more. So everytime i bid it asks me to go 50p higher.
what a shame. My deam of an itouch for only £2 has gone :'(;

30-07-2016, 05:46 AM #5I have a problem with selling. For some reason the selling account has a link to a paypall address that is nothing to do with me??? I can't see how to change this, so everytime I try to sell something they pay via paypall and i can't access the money.........

in ebay if you got to my account then paypal account and the email address should appear with a link stating "remove link"
click that and the paypal link will go away
looks like someone hacked your account and changed the payment address, i would change the password for both paypal and ebay
