eBay Buyers: eBay Safety Tips You Should Know
Are we meddlesome in selling upon eBay? If we are, we have been really not alone. Over the past couple of years, the recognition of eBay has literally skyrocketed. Since eBay is deliberate an online auction website, the single that allows internet users to post their effects for sale, it generates the outrageous marketplace with millions of equipment for sale, during any since time. Although eBay is the great place to do your selling online, it can be unsafe; however, there have been the series of ways that we can strengthen we as great as your finance management when regulating eBay to do your online shopping.
One of the many critical things that we need to recollect when regulating eBay is that we combined the pointer in name or the shade name for yourself. That shade name is used so that we do not have to yield alternative eBay users with your genuine name. Yes, if we were to have the squeeze online, we would need to give the eBay seller your genuine name as great as address, though that is the usually time that we should do so. You should never give an eBay seller report about yourself, unless we have won an object from them upon the eBay website.
In tie with giving out personal report about yourself, we additionally do not wish to give out any alternative personal report about your finances. eBay uses the secure checkout program, that enables we to have remuneration arrangements upon your own. The many secure approach to have purchases online is by PayPal, though many alternative sellers accept personal checks or income orders. With PayPal, the eBay seller we have been we do commercial operation with essentially doesn’t get your credit label information, as all supports have been eliminated electronically. For that reason, there is no reason to give an eBay seller your bank comment report or your credit or withdraw label information, even if we have been selling an object from them.
When selling an object upon eBay, we might place many of your concentration upon the cost that the object is listed at, if it is the buy it right away auction. If it is in the normal auction listing, we might be focusing upon the stream top bid. While this is critical to do, we will additionally wish to place the concentration upon the sum cost of shipping. It is not odd for eBay sellers to sell their equipment for the low price, though assign the tall volume in shipping. Also, be discreet of the seller who doesn’t yield we with shipping report upfront. Often times, we will find this is the front for the scam. After winning the auction, we have been obliged for profitable for the product, as great as the shipping costs, that mostly spin out to be high.
To forestall we from we do commercial operation with the untrustworthy eBay seller, the single who might be out to take your money, we will wish to inspect the feedback of any eBay seller that we have been meddlesome in we do commercial operation with. While the couple of disastrous feedback ratings have been not uncommon, we will wish to be discreet of brand new eBay sellers with even usually the single or dual disastrous ratings. Basically, when selling upon eBay, we need to have make use of of your most appropriate judgment. If something looks suspicious, there is the great possibility that it is. To forestall yourself from being scammed or losing money, we will usually wish to have certain that we have make use of of your head, as it is mostly the most appropriate pointer of difficulty to come.
It is additionally critical to discuss phishing scams. These sorts of scams have been receiving place off of the eBay website, though they are, in the way, associated to eBay. There have been the series of scammers, who have been formulating feign eBay emails, as great as feign eBay pointer in screens. These emails have been call we to pointer in to your eBay account. Once we do so, the scammer will have entrance to your eBay account, as great as the little of your personal information. Do not tumble plant to these scams. All eBay messages should crop up in your eBay account, that can be accessed once we record in without delay from eBay.com

OOOH DUDE NO WAY!!! this is cool lol nice job… i want an ocarina lol
Can you play Dearest by inuyasha?
yes. Ebay will send them a notice, but you can as well. You can send them an invoice if you like. As long as the details are noted in the listing, you shouldn't need to tell them anything about the closing. Paypal will contact you when you receive the payment as well. It will come to your email address that you signed up with.
You should be fine. My town has 3 names: Smiths Creek, Kimball, and Kimball Township and I can use any of the 3 and the Post Office finds me just fine. I buy on EBay all the time and have had no problems. They will figure it out!
some of my best memories r on the ocarina (the good old days) lol ^_^
Adrian C:
The two most useful links to see 'WHAT'S HOT' on ebay are:
1. http://pulse.ebay.com
This site lists all the 'hot categories' of items that are currently being sold.
2. http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/hotitems.pdf
This is a PDF file/list of all their hot selling items; Review it and you should be able to determine what product(s) are hot, that you can sell, as well as see what products are 'cold' and are not sellling as much…thus knowing what to stay away from.
Hope this helps?

if you received an email that seemed to be from ebay asking you to confirm your password or settings then it would be logical to assume that you are the victim of a phishing scan. It goes like this, you get an email that looks just like an ebay email, it contains a link to sign on and verify something with your ebay account, the site looks like ebay but if you check the actual address in the address bar it will not be ebays address, then they post bogus stuff on your site, have the payment shipped to them and then never deliver, they keep the money and you get a bad rating, if you get any emails in your inbox from ebay or paypal or any other place that handles your money in some way, you should type the address directly in the address bar yourself and check your account that way, if they dont have anything on your account telling you what the email told you then its a scam and you should report it immediately
I know what you mean but a lot of people would just say “It’s just ocarina of time again”
mann. remeber the good ole days when we were all stuck with n64 to play
eBays fees are dependent on two things. Listing costs and commission.
There are established charges for an eBay listing. The more complex the listing, the more the cost. If you have a simple listing, text, no pictures, no reserve, no starting bid, that would be the cheapest. But add pictures, put in a background, pay for premium listing, add a reserve, put the starting bid at something more then minimal amount, and that costs more. As you build your listing, eBay will keep a running total of what it will cost to list your item, and you have the option to review that cost, and change your listing appropriately before you incur any charges.
The listing fees you have to pay even if your item does not sell.
Now, the commission. eBay takes a small cut of the selling price of the item. That percentage will also vary based on the selling price, and what type of seller you are. Heard of power sellers? They pay a lower price then the average seller because of the high volume of stuff they sell.
I really recommend that you review the cost section of the eBay help pages. The commission costs will be laid out on those pages. To determine how much it will cost to list your item, I recommend making the listing. Play around with the options, and find out what a listing will cost. You can always cancel the listing before finalizing it, no cost, and it is a great learning opportunity.
Best of luck!
Every Lolita item I've gotten from Ebay has had something wrong with it. I don’t remember what shop it is, but one of them just hot glues the clothes together! I’m sure that if you bought every single Lolita item on Ebay, you’ll come across a good deal, but most of it will be complete rip offs. They may be cheap, but they REALLY are not worth their price.
This site has just about every Lolita clothing link possible. I put the page of links where you can order without an ordering service. (Not websites that only ship to Japan.)
http://www.lolitafashion.org/brand_list_intshipping.php
If you are a beginning Lolita or are really low on money, I suggest you buy non brand name when you are still discovering your style. For example, if you want a skirt from the Japanese brand name Angelic Pretty, get a similar one from a less expensive non brand like La Dauphine.
Making your clothes is another good alternative. I'm low on money, so I make most of my clothes, which works well, actually, because I like coming up with my own designs.
I hope this helps and I wish you the best!

mmmm yes ….. i am like only 11 now but when i was seven i could never make the whole game coz of that magic tree thingy
It doesn't, as other have posted.
Teddy Bear is incorrect in part of his answer. Money is not withheld from the seller unless they are new. If that is the case, they are trying to ensure that the seller is not trying to scam people. They want to have a history of items being shipped and received. Once a seller has a good track record, money is no longer placed on hold. If you buy a $500 watch from someone who has a feedback of 99% with 1000 ratings, the money IS NOT withheld from the seller.
If you do not receive an item you purchased on eBay, you can file a dispute with eBay/PayPal.
So, unless you buy it on eBay, it is not protected by eBay.
It depends, if your supplier can deliver next day and will have the stock then there is no point in getting it early.
However if you expect your supplier will run out close to the time demand is high then they would get the stock in a month or so early.
Try putting a few items on 30 day listings, it's only a few cents and will help you gauge popularity and when demand starts to grow
Generally, you want to save on listing fees and let the (ebay) market to set the closing price. In most cases, this means starting the initial price at $9.99 or less. However, the only exception is for expensive items. With the current recession and sales at ebay (and most everywhere else) soft now, you don’t want to get burned. Use you discretion with expensive items.
Some tips that may be helpful to you……….
Be honest and accurate in your descriptions – One-sentence descriptions are for lazy sellers. One paragraph should be sufficient for most items. My general guideline is the more expensive (read higher priced) an item, the more you should ‘talk it up.’ It won’t be time wasted. Use lots of adjectives in your descriptions. Adjectives make prose and your items come alive. Without them, prose is dull and your items less appealing. Just add a little ‘sizzle’ and even have a little fun with it. In short, make your descriptions stand out above the crowd.
Be professional – use good English with no spelling errors
PICTURES:
ALWAYS include at least one picture, more pictures for higher priced items. Make sure your pictures are clear. There are far too many pictures on ebay that are dark. If prospective buyers can’t see your items clearly, your items, more than likely, will not fetch the closing prices they deserve. To remove darkness, use any photo editor to add some brightness and a wee bit of contrast.
Eliminate clutter. Prospective bidders don’t want to know what kind of cereal you eat or what kind of kitchen table or bedspread you have. Use a SOLID backdrop when taking your pictures as you want to focus all of the attention on your item. In short, the one and only thing you want in your picture is the item being sold. A SOLID white or light blue backdrop is best. However, there are certainly items that won’t show well on a light backdrop. In these cases, use a darker backdrop. And for gosh sake, don’t even think of using a plaid blanket as a backdrop for your pictures as I once saw on ebay. You should also crop the photos in your photo editor. Good pictures can add 5% to 10% to final closing prices.
GOOD DESCRIPTIONS + GOOD PICTURES = GOOD PRESENTATION. This is what you should strive for.
COMMUNICATION:
GOOD Communication is a must – Always notify buyers when you mail their items. It is not only a courtesy you would want and expect as a buyer but it is also both good customer service and good business practice. After all, you are the 'President & CEO' of your 'company' running your business but using ebay as your selling medium. In short, conduct your business so that it reflects well on you as a person. Treat everyone as a human being, not a living being and this includes people who have inquiries about your items, not just your buyers. Prospective buyers making these inquiries could ultimately be the winning bidders and possible repeat customers.
TIPS TO MAXIMIZE PROFITS:
Do not limit your auctions to one country. SELL WORLDWIDE. The reason is elementary. You now have access to the largest market ebay has to offer. Limiting your auctions to only one country also limits your potential profits. A basic business tenet is, 'the greater the potential market, the greater the potential to maximize profits.' But do note in your listing that PayPal is the only form of payment you will accept from overseas bidders/buyers. Through experience, you will learn that there are certain problem countries. Italy seems to be one of them. Mail sent to buyers in Italy very often ‘mysteriously disappears.’ If this is the case, just note in your listing you sell to all countries EXCEPT (name(s) here).
However, if you decide to limit sales to only one country, such as the USA, never say NO when you receive an email asking if you would ship to Taiwan, Germany, Australia or wherever. The reason is that you have a ‘FISH ON THE HOOK!’ This person will bid! When he or she does, this may force a previous bidder to enter another, higher bid or force later, first time bidders to come in with higher bids. So always say YES to these emails if you want to maximize your profits. But do say that PayPal is the only form of payment you will accept from these overseas bidders
Avoid selling ‘nickel and dime’ items. People who list and sell a steady stream of items that close for $5 or less are wasting their time. Less expensive, similar items ($5 or less) are best sold as a group to save time. If you have a large number of these cheaper, similar items, divide them up into sub lots of three, four or five.
More expensive (higher priced), similar items are best sold individually to maximize profits. There are ebay ‘vultures’ who just love to swoop down on similarly grouped items in one listing. When they win these auctions, they turn around and sell the items individually and, in most cases, get one and a half to 2 times and sometimes three times what they paid for them on an average item basis. I know this works. When I had more time (read unemployed), I was one of these ‘vultures.’ This is one of those situations where the parts are worth more than the whole.
Short of items to sell and where to find items to sell? Garage and yard sales, church bazaars, flea markets are obvious as are ‘junktique’ shops. If you want to let your fingers do the walking, you too can be crafty ‘vulture’ like a select group of other ebay sellers. Become a member of several smaller auction sites and search for bargains there. But as before, ‘stick with what you know.’ These smaller auction sites are great for buyers for the same reason they are bad for sellers:
Far fewer potential bidders = less competition = lower closing prices
Once you have your bargains, turn around and sell them at ebay. Ebay has the largest membership of any auction site. There isn’t another auction site that is remotely close and I do mean remotely close to having the number of members that ebay has. Here is the ebay formula:
Largest, by far, of any auction site = MAXIMUM competition = HIGHER closing prices,
If you want to do your listings OFFLINE, download the TURBO LISTER program free from ebay. Once you have finished with your listings, you can upload them anytime or schedule a date and time when you want your auctions to start.
Lastly, keep in mind that experience is the best teacher. Start off slowly listing only two or three items and see how that goes for you. Once you get your feet wet and gain confidence, start listing more items on a weekly basis. You will soon learn the ins and outs and the dos and don’ts in short order and ultimately settle on a system that works best for you. The more items you list, the more items you will sell, the more $$ you will make and the harder you will work. Nothing in life comes easy and that includes becoming a successful seller at ebay. Good luck & happy selling!
