WHAT TO GIVE A EBAY FANATIC?????

2008-05-12T14:08:58Z

My mom loves ebay and is always selling something on it. What would be a perfect gift for someone like this? She already has a good camera, a manaquien sp??, and a back drop and lighting. I even got her a stamp with her name and everything for shipping packages. The ebay gift certificate is only for paying for items purchased and can not be used for seller fees. ANY IDEAS????

Your take on eBay's changes

2008-02-21T21:08:45Z

I hope I'm not pushing buttons here, and by no means do I intend on starting an argument, but...

What are your takes on eBay's new price and feedback policy changes? What about Pay Pal's changes?

Personally, I'm joining the strike. I may shut down the store and not list again. I'll have to see what eBay does in the next month.
I've already opened an eCrater.com account and store, and an account on Onlineauction.com.

Any eBay sellers here?

2008-02-12T01:09:37Z

After having an idle eBay account for several years, I finally took the plunge as both a buyer and a seller. The first few items I sold were gifts from out-of-state relatives that were of zero use to my family. This was like getting free money, and the rewards were much quicker than donating the stuff to charity and filing later for a tax deduction.

My most recent auction was experimental: one-time permanent logo/link placement in my blog. Aside from perhaps resizing an image and one simple little line of HTML, it's perhaps the easiest money one could make. Nothing to box and lug off to be shipped, no fuss, no muss.

I'm getting ready to start selling some nice handmade items like sterling silver earrings, hand knit/crocheted specialty accessories, and maybe some small, fairly inexpensive consumer goods that are often hard to find in certain areas of the U.S.

So, who else here sells on eBay? What do you sell? Had any weird or cool selling/buying transactions?

Couldn't Ask For Anything More... Terrific Sales & Excellent Service

2007-09-25T05:16:51Z

Through recent experiences with EBAY, I have found a new favorite store... The customer service and excellent bargains available need to be seen to be believed. This store was quick and made sure I received my package the way I wanted. I would like to personally thank the sales team at "SAVE YOUR PENNIES, SAVE YOUR DIMES". Excellent Work.

Rant

2007-06-22T14:19:51Z

Ok- my time to rant

Why do people charge those ridiculous shipping charges- I know that shipping a CD is $1.11 first class and maybe the packaging is $.25. So why do people charge $5 or $10 to ship a CD? I refuse to buy from anyone who charges this high.

Oh and another rant (not so much Ebay)- You cant sell video games anymore on Amazon- you have to be approved (and they state they are no longer approving anyone). What's next- not allowing you to sell Movie DVDs?

Auction Stats - Best day to sell

2006-10-26T19:00:48Z

This has been AMAZING to me.

I have only been using it less then a week and I can already tell what days are best, what keywords to sue and what ones are NOT working.

I can tell where all my traffic is coming from, who is watching, how long each person spent in my auction, what link set them there, if they are a bidder or not. All by IP address.

Also it warns me of someone set up a sniper app to bid later!

Soooo many more details, graphs, charts, pie charts and massive data.

Check it out. it has very detailed screen shots with explanations.

If you sell you need this.

2006-10-21T02:18:19Z

Hey y'all!

I've been an Ebayer for a few years, but I would like to really get serious, and help with our family income! I (and I'm sure many others) would love to hear from you more experienced sellers. What tips or advice do you feel would be most important to those who want to build their Ebay business?

Thanks and have a great day!

fraud!

2006-10-21T02:12:07Z

my boyfriend's father bought an 18K gold ring on ebay. He receive it & tried to resize it & they wouldn't because it was a fake. I wrote the ebay seller asking for a full refund for him. She said no, it was a family ring & the ring said 18K on it. I think not! Is she a wacko or what? I emailed her again saying i would report her if she didn't refund the ring. I'm waiting for her reply again. Should I report her if she says she won't refund again? Or is this something I can't do anything about? I told him not to buy electronics or jewelry on ebay. Elderly people are so out of it!

Crazy things found on eBay

2006-10-12T01:06:07Z

So, I just finished watching a part of the Jay Leno show. I was busy and didn't turn the channel. lol

He found and shared several items that were found on eBay during the time his celebrity bike was being auctioned off. Which went for 1/2 million! He kept saying he swore it was true, you can't make up these kind of things.

I tried to check for pictures on eBay but seeing as the auctions have already ended the pictures are no longer available. Are you ready for some of these. I'll tell you at end if they were sold or not. If they were I'll also share the ending bid.
Enjoy!

snipe?

2006-05-30T21:20:03Z

Hello other e-bayers. I'm new to this tribe (hello everyone!). I'm smitten with Ebay this week - I find it's a cyclic thing...I shop, I buy, I hate, I shop, etc...

anyway.

There's this thing I really want. I've heard Sniper programs are the way to go, but seeing as how I'm not a lifetime habitual ebayer (only a temporary compulsive one), I am wondering what a good option is, since I know absolutely nothing about sniper programs!

Anyone got any good ideas they'd like to share with moi? I'd be ever so grateful!

2006-05-05T18:00:54Z

I cant believe the amount of people that use the "I'll leave you good feedback if you leave me good feedback"

I have this one guy who bought stuff from me- took over a week to pay- accused me of harassing him when I emailed him once to ask about payment- leave me good feedback. But now he's emailing me constantly saying he left good feedback for me- now I need to leave good feedback to him. Part of me just wants to leave him good feedback to get him off my back. I wonder how many other people up their feedback scores by doing this

Paypal Verified?

2005-12-27T20:30:59Z

Alright I've had a paypal account for a while now, and I have it tied into my credit/debit card. Everytime I loging, paypal offers to verify me.

I'm wary of their persistence and I dont fully understand what this verification will do. Its my understanding they want direct access to my bank account instead of handling it as a debit account.

Has anyone had problems with this? It seems like it would be a security concern.

Something like ebay but EASIER

2005-10-12T20:34:24Z

hello tribers
this is a personally hand-typed request for your help
not an automated advertisement looking to generalize...

The Art Exchange: what do you need? what do you want to get rid of? Or are you just looking for some extra cash, some inspiration, or bargain gratification? You don't need to be an "artist" to enjoy this space, it is more on the level of an indoor flea market that has whatever you need and may also have a movie playing on a giant projector screen, or a buffet of tainted goodies.
We are trying to encourage people to re-evaluate their garbage. Most of us at the Art and Found warehouse are dumpster divers and see how much people waste every day. I don't know about you, but I'm sick of paying for things that I only use once, or paying a tax on something that is already overly priced.

WHAT IF... We didn't need money for anything but food and rent? What if all the things you want to buy along the way, you can get by trading something you are about to throw to the curb? Imagine if this idea took off, and eventually you could barter a deal with your landlord and get out of paying rent. Think of the people you would be connected with, the events you would hear about along the way, and the elimination of stress over being poor.

The Art and Found: Its a warehouse in West Oakland filled to its brim with pretty much everything/anything: clothes, furniture, instruments, tools, computers, bikes, car parts, costumes, ART SUPPLIES, craft supplies, collectibles, jewelry.... I mean everything. And its the place you can sell your stuff at, and its the place you can call if you are looking for something to buy at a cheaper rate, and its the place that is going to hopefully take back what we have invested in capitalism so we can start living off the waste of it instead.

I'm getting pretty excited

As a start... Become a member of the Art Exchange Tribe
Call us if you need something/want to sell something...

Is selling on Ebay Stores really that complicated?

2005-10-09T14:18:24Z

I work for a mail order/catalog company. We already have a well established business practice and system for taking orders online (at our website) and shipping products. We've done it for 50 years. We have great customer service. We want to sell all of our products at their regular prices under the "Buy it now" option. No auctions.

My bosses want me to put some of our inventory on E-bay. For the last week I've been researching. They want to know all the ins and outs of selling on E-bay before we start.

My question is, from a business perspective, what will be so drastically different between selling on our website and selling on E-bay? We'll just take the order from E-bay, credit card/SKU/shipping info, and enter it into our order system. From there everything will be the same as if they ordered from our website, except we'll put a card in the box thanking them for buying from us and leave positive feedback for the user.

Aside from the work that it will take to list all of our products and enter the orders into our order system, what other differences will there be?

high end clothing

2005-09-24T14:15:24Z

I have probably 6 - 6 foot closets FULL of clothes bought exclusively off of Ebay - most of them Carole Little - which for those who arent familiar with her old line of clothing (she is now designing under another name) but her clothing couldnt be touched at the retail stores for under 100 fr a CASUAL outfit and 2 - 3 hundred for her higher end items. I have never paid more than 30 bucks for anything of hers on Ebay. Usually the average is 10 bucks a dress or outfit - love it !

But I also buy alot of items from QVC sellers - I can get 100 outfits for 10 bucks - brand new and with tags. I think QVC has a return policy where they can't sell something that has been returned so it all gets dumped into warehouses - I LOVE their Dialogue line of clothing. 100 on up and I get most of it for less than 20 -

Problem

2005-08-08T19:59:49Z

Hey there, I have a problem. I ordered an X-Men clock for my son. It has not came. I paid through paypal something like June 11th. On the 13th, I remember she had offered several color choices. So I email seller right away. Letting her know I had didn't think she had shipped it yet...her page says she normally ships every 5-7 days, but if she had great I'd take whatever color was sent.

Seller emailed me back, saying SHE had emailed me asking about the color choice. I never got that email. But that I was correct and the clock had not been sent yet. So she would send my first color choice.

Well no clock. I then emailed her either the end of June or start of July to explain still no clock. Seller said she DID send it but had others so she would re-send right away.

Mid July (day after my anniversary, that's why I remember) saying the clock had not yet arrived and wanted to know how she was going to handle the situation. Also as a side note, I had bought several other things after the clock and all but 2 things have arrived, as both other sellers had out of town deaths or ailling parents...I am totally understanding! One emailed me back yesterday and said she had just sent it out. The other will not be back until next Friday. So it's not like I am not understanding that things happen.

I had even bought some books ended up in the hospital, and then my father in law died. I didn't pay for the books, the seller was soooo wonderful and I still was not able to pay for books. She left neg feedback. When I left her feedback I left positive saying it was 100% my fault that the fb seller left for me was totally justified.

So my problem. The person I bought the clock from is doing for a web site for chronicly ill people. Even though I don't believe she herself is sick, all the profits go to the man who runs the site. (fibrohugs). I just filed a complaint with paypal. My problem is two fold. One she still has not replied to paypal. And 2 I don't really want to leave neg feedback when the money goes for such an awesome site! Btw... I have ordered from her before and DID get my items.

So what should I do from here? Wait for paypal to contact me...it's only been a bit less than a week. Do I leave neg feedback? Ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks!!

Tyson's former mansion on sale

2005-08-01T06:08:06Z

Tyson's former mansion on sale -- on eBay
Mike Tyson's former mansion, about an hour southwest of
Cleveland, is up for sale again -- this time on eBay -- for
$3.5 million. The sprawling 35-year-old stone and wood
home has 22 rooms and three ponds on 65 wooded acres -- and
a lot of gloomy history. The original owner lost the estate
to foreclosure. Tyson invested in the Ohio solitude but
sold out to an Akron infomercial guru, Paul Monea, in 1999,
when the IRS came around, the Cleveland Plain Dealer said.
Monea lived there until he went to prison two years ago for
tax evasion. Now, a mysterious eBay seller, known only as
"moneypenny220," is trying to unload the estate.

We just finished a web-based service that adds video to your eBay auctions. Videos drive higher bids as they show items better than photos. You just copy/paste the code in your eBay ad.

We offer a free use of this service to eBay sellers of this tribe for the next 3 months to fine tune the service before launching. You will have direct access to the service and will be able to upload video clips up to 90 sec long demonstrating your product. You can demonstrate several products.

this is weird...

2005-05-04T18:59:56Z

So we did a buy it now on boots about 2 months ago http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=63850&item=5367678558

The shipping was via priority, so I anticipated them within a week or two of payment. Well a month goes by, no boots. I email the seller twice in two weeks, no response. I then file a claim with paypal, they never got a response from the seller and refunded my money.

Then the boots appear! They were shipped on 4/14 - AFTER paypal had refunded my money, 6 weeks after auction's close?! So now what do I do?

I feel kinda weird getting basically free boots, but he did mess up and hasn't contacted me asking for re-payment or anything. They're also missing part of the tongue which means they can't be worn at the higher length - which would have ticked me off if I had paid for them.

I had already left negative feedback for him prior to getting the boots too :-/ uggg....

Should I email the seller thanking him or asking about payment or just let it go?

What a Lesson!

2005-04-28T20:33:38Z

Could someone please look at this and tell me that the s&h to the US appears to be FREE? This seller is being forgiven because they are a newbie, and a single keystroke was their downfall. I don't know why I have to pay the brunt of their mistake. Am I wrong? I sent an email asking for an explaination for the $10 s&h and the buyer said, 'i have absolutely no idea how it put itself as free, but it clearly
states
how much it is for shipping for US & AU bidders .'
I have been told that I have tried to take advantage of a newbie - how??? Now that I have to pay a new price for a used book? Anyway - one more lesson learned! I will accept whatever you all say - I need to make a decision on this and need as much feedback as possible! I don't even know if I have any options because I have been shamed for thinking I do, lol!

The Easy Way to eBay

2005-04-19T19:34:30Z

Auctiondrop.com

You drop it off at you local UPS store. They ship it to Auctiondrop free of charge to you. Auctiondrop then lists it on eBay for you for a small fee after the item sells.

I've sold so many things thru them, it beats doining myself :)

PayPal Alternatives

2005-02-11T07:35:26Z

Ok I officially hate PayPal. I'm looking for atlernative methods to make payments other online web services or even escrow services.

I've never had need or use for them, however I do plan on making some big ticket purchases in the future and I would like to do business with a company less fuct on automation than PayPal.

An excerpt from my final letter to paypal: "Its about customer service stupid!"

Purported Elvis Water Brings $455 Bid on eBay

2005-01-03T19:22:12Z

MIAMI (Reuters) - Wade Jones of North Carolina says he snared a plastic cup from which Elvis Presley drank at a concert in 1977 and kept the cup and the water for 27 years before selling the remaining few tablespoons of water on eBay.

The winning bid for the water was $455. He says he won't sell the cup.

A 40-year-old resident of Belmont, North Carolina, Jones said he was 13 when he attended a Presley concert at the Charlotte Coliseum in February, 1977, six months before the death of the rock 'n roll icon.

After the concert, Jones went to the stage looking for a souvenir. A policeman gave him the plastic foam cup, from which he had seen Elvis drinking earlier, he said.

Jones said he kept the cup and water in his freezer until 1985, when he transferred the water to a vial and sealed it. Over the years, he said, he acquired a photograph of Elvis holding the cup at that concert as authentication for his claim.

"I promise this thing is 100 percent legitimate," Jones said.

It was the $28,000 eBay sale of a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich in which some people saw the image of the Virgin Mary that persuaded him to auction off his Elvis water.

"I've been selling on eBay since 2000. People said you ought to sell that Elvis cup," Jones said. "When I heard the recent news ... about the grilled cheese sandwich, I kind of thought about it.

"I didn't get $28,000, it's true," he said of the winning bid on the 3-4 tablespoons of water. "But I'm happy."

Jones said he got a lot of e-mails asking how much he wanted for the cup. He's not going to sell but is offering to allow the highest bidder to "exhibit" it for a short time. Minimum bid is $300.

"It's something I've had since I was 13 and I'm just not going to get rid of it," he said.

My father's cane and ghost. Please help my son.

Please help my 6 year old son find peace. In an effort to quell his fears, I am auctioning the ghost of my father (his grandfather). The winner will receive his well-used cane. I would like to ask you to write a letter after you've received the cane (and the ghost) to my son letting him know that he's there with you and you're getting along great. It is my hope that this will put an end to his restless nights. Thank you all for your help and heartfelt interest.

Grilled Cheese update

2004-12-05T04:01:18Z

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - GoldenPalace.com, an online casino, is now
the proud owner of a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich
that bears the image of the Virgin Mary. It only cost the
casino $28,000 to win the sandwich from a woman on eBay.
Company executives said they were willing to spend "as much
as it took" to own the 10-year-old half-sandwich with a bite
out of it. They almost lost the chance to own the sacred
sandwich after eBay initially pulled the auction thinking
it was a joke. The firm later put the page back up after
they confirmed that sandwich owner Diana Duyser would
deliver on the bid. "I would like all people to know that I
do believe that this is the Virgin Mary Mother of God,"
Duyser, a work-from-home jewelry designer, said in the
casino's statement.

Sandwich resembling Virgin Mary a no sale

Sandwich resembling Virgin Mary a no sale

MIAMI, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- A Florida woman says she was
offered $22,000 for a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich
with an image of the Virgin Mary on it, before eBay
canceled the deal. Diana Duyser of Hollywood, Fla.,
received an e-mail from eBay saying the sandwich offering
violated the firm's policy barring listings "that are
intended as jokes." Duyser told the Miami Herald it was
not a joke and she takes the matter very seriously. She
said she made the sandwich 10 years ago and, as she took
her first bite, saw the Virgin Mary staring at her from the
lightly toasted bread. She said she put the partially eaten
sandwich into a clear plastic box with cotton balls to
absorb moisture and there was never a sign of mold. Duyser
offered the sandwich for sale on eBay last week. Bids
started at $9.99 and quickly soared to $22,000 before the
ad was removed. "I never imagined it would get that high,"
she said. But eBay officials, after being assured the offer
was a serious one, reinstated the listing. The Herald said
the Web site page had been viewed nearly 100,000 times
before it was removed.

Big Spend

2004-11-13T05:17:37Z

I bought a car on Ebay. It was kinda terrifying, trying to do it all through pictures, feedback ratings, etc. I even gave up a couple of times, but the retards on the car lots drove me back to the glow of my monitor. Well, it will be a few days before my 87 535i arrives, I'll let you all know if the car I bid on is the one I won...

Some helpful tips needed

2004-10-11T21:06:00Z

I am fairly new at selling on ebay. I have tried listing my daughter's baby bedding twice and not one hit. It was expensive bedding, and it's in GREAT condition. I was thinking maybe a second catagory, but not sure what. I paid over 200 dollars for the quilt and bumper. I started the opening bid at 9.99 with no reserve.
