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

OK. So somebody in China got a smoking deal on that Cuci. Whatever. How should I insure sending a NWT $3k garment overseas?

Looking for help on a descriptor for this shirt fabric...some type of Oxford?

Looks like a variation on royal oxford?

Did Garage Sale eliminate the option to delete all photos on the "listing" selection drop down menu at the top of the frame?

Couple questions:

1.) Just received an e-check as payment. I am not required to ship until after the check clears, correct?

2.) I tried to send an invoice to a buyer, but when I input his state, I get the following. I looked up the zip code, and it is a Dallas zip. Any ideas?

DO NOT ship until the e-check clears. It will not go against your stated shipping and handling time.

Okay awesome, thanks @drlivingston

Speaking of GarageSale... Holy hell does this upgrade take some getting used to! I figured that I would do the upgrade while my listing volume is way down. I like some aspects of it, but certain features I used on a regular basis are nowhere to be found. For example, is there a way to delete all the pictures from a template? I've been able to delete each pic individually, but that takes an extra 20 seconds or so per listing.

Buyer wins suit via BINOBO. Sends message 2 days later asking if suit is available. I explain that he won it and that I’ll ship as soon as he pays. No payment so unpaid item ticket opens and closes. I wake up today to him sending a message that says "I'm ready to pay now but it says it's closed. Can you send an invoice?" I was feeling nice so I relisted and explained that he'd have to resubmit his offer since the case was closed. The dude then lowballs me so I decide to just block him and move on. I just checked and saw that his other account just offered $5 less than his lower-than-original offer.

So you might want to block these accounts

Brother-in-law sold an iphone, got positive feedback from buyer and a message confirming they'd received the phone. Today he gets this. He should be OK, right? Does he need to do anything right now like calling, or just wait?

That's an easy slam dunk. Call PayPal.

Thanks. Does he need to call them, or just wait and see?
