Default Re: Ebay sellers.... lets help each other out.

In the past 10 years I have Sold over 2000 items on Ebay and all i can say now is Ebay gives way to much power to the buyer.
They can lie all they want and always win a dispute but the seller is always wrong.
I have 100% feedback because i am very honest with everything i sell as i describe it bang on but you always run into a dishonest nim rod once in awhile.
I am so so tired of paying Ebay fees along with Paypal fees even though they are both owned by the same company.
I now use Forums as my number one selling venue and a local Ad source that is all free. $25 on this forum is cheap for the year.
I post firm reasonable prices and move my stuff pretty well.
Ebay is now used as my last resort because when i have the stock to long, i throw it on there at a low starting price and get rid of it.

One thing i will say is i will never ever buy anything when someone has UPS as there shipper. I don't care how rare the part is as i will just pass with the UPS shipping service.
It is a big rip off here in Canada.
Like someone mentioned here in this post,the fees are atrocious.

I know some sellers that will not shipp to Canada.
That is a pitty because if you only knew what i was going to bid and pay for something that you sold for one tenth of my max bid,you would of liked that extra gravy.

I am in Canada and my number one customers are in the USA and i have made many friends selling to them.
I guess everyone has there own ways.
My 2 cents.
