Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

[Fueco]

Lol I did report it to the eBay rep on Twitter with a screen shot. Anyone else I should forward to?

I am more concerned if he is actually gonna follow up with his threat. Lot of hassle but when egos get involved people tend to do stupid stuff.

I would actually call eBay on this one. It’s not cool for people to be threatening others on the platform. Tell eBay that you’re fearful for your safety (play it up a bit).

Buyer had my jacket for 26 days before opening a return stating ordered by mistake and sub reason, got sent wrong item with a couple of low light pictures. I was able to decline and close the return. Got the negative feedback removed as well.

Googled the guy and he might be an attorney. He sent my this message and I am wondering if I should be concerned?

As an attorney myself, I'd say you have very little to worry about if anything. I'm guessing you don't even live in the same state, which would make it expensive for him to file and serve you. Plus he'd need to hire a local attorney to appear if there were a hearing at a district court. Although for $600 it would be small claims court. Just report all his BS to eBay.

Also, who is he so we can block him too?

Well, they are from Quebec, which often explains a lot. (And which I write purely in jest and with all due love and respect to my Francophone countrymen.)

i don't know why people expect international shipping to be super cheap
actually, you can barely ship within Canada for the $15 he is asking for.

I wish i could ship overseas for under $20. i'm sure all of our sales would grow as a result.

I can ship a tie or T-shirt into Canada for $15, but that’s about it. That’s the actual shipping cost, not the retail price.

you can ship with tracking and in a meaningful time? (like 5-12 business days) for $15?
Who pays for pickup?
Also: there is eBay tax: 16% + conversion fee + handling + etc. --> So you need at least offer 20$ and up.
@goatamous II Same, I wish

Was how long shipping takes part of the original question? I offer international buyers the choice between First Class and Priority. If they want the item quicker, they choose Priority.

But yeah, stuff sent to Canada via First Class usually gets delivered within ten business days.

And it's fully trackable and gets through customs easily?

Sometimes I just upgrade some buyers to FedEx Priority not to deal with the issues of not receiving, etc.

Oh, hey guys. I’ve got an Italian seller telling me he can’t find shipping to US for what he had listed. (About 25 Euros, I think).

Anything I can recommend to him? I’ve had several dudes from Japan ship quickly at apparently low rates.
