eBay Headaches šŸ¤•

When I’ve dealt with a return/partial refund, I generally block them. Just don’t want to risk having to deal with selling them anything else that could be an issue. Not always, but often.

Yeah my very first refund years ago was a ā€œdidn’t meet my collecting standardsā€ as VF/NM, I took the return, relisted it the same price, when it sold the next buyer says condition was better than expected :man_shrugging: can’t win em all lol

I block people just for sending me dumb messages or low ball offers. I have zero tolerance for stupid people and their possible shenanigans, This is a hobby, not a job, for me. Sometimes I’d rather not sell something than sell it to a potential problem. I’ll take my chances that someone else will eventually buy it. And, yes, I have a very long block list, lol.

Book is listed as a NM/MT 9.8. A LOT of their books have that grade.

Can’t be bothered to show the back. Does not accept returns. Im sure if I disagree and show evidence it’s not a 9.8 they’ll throw the ā€œgrading is subjectiveā€ argument…which would completely counter their reason for not showing the back. A mess waiting to happen.

I feel like ordering it just to gage their grading skills (book is under $10).


Edit: I asked the question as a hypothetical ā€œwhat if I don’t agree with your grading of this book?ā€

I’m sure I’ll get a snarky remark and perhaps blocked. But I feel it’s a fair question to ask.

Yeah. Everyone else jumps off their cliff, so I guess that’s means it’s 100% safe!

Not that the risks of comics can be directly compared to cliff jumping…I just don’t like the answer.

I too have had thousands of sales with few complaints but I’m also not too lazy to take one photo of the back of a book. Remind me to avoid that seller haha.

Sometimes I successfully sell a book at a higher price than another seller (or several sellers), and often I suspect it’s because I pictured the back if they did not.

In the sellers defense, he wasn’t rude about it.

And he’s willing to stand by his grading being 9.8, then maybe I’ll put his skill to the test.

But if you’re going to rely 100% on your grading skills, why even show an actual photo. Post a file photo.

Otherwise front and back. It takes 10 seconds, if that. You had to have the comic out of the bag and flip through it to call it a 9.8. So take another photo!

So I thought the rate was around 0.74. But ebay international shipping says it’s 0.70.

The rate hasn’t been that low since May of 2021.

Update: apparently eBay takes 3%…even though my credit card I use doesn’t charge me a conversion fee.

eBay always gets paid. On everything. Same way they take a fee off your shipping fees.

Been saying that for awhile. Ebay needs sued for that

I sell so I have no choice but to accept their fees suck but I’ve never understood how they’re allowed a cut off the shipping and sales tax too. My laziness for not looking it up as it’s gotta be in their fine print somewhere so it’s ā€œlegalā€ or they surely would’ve been sued by now.

It is their playground. We have to abide by their rules. Doesn’t make it right. Doesn’t mean we have to like it. But we sell on there so have to abide by their rules. I am gonna start listing more on Mercari. It’s been a little dead lately on there.

I use a Wise account linked to Ebay, so I’m always paying USD for USD, to avoid all the unnecessary FX spread fees, transaction fees, etc.
