I want someone to help me with selling my cards on eBay using YOUR account! More details inside...

NoDoubt64 · August 29, 2002 2:36PM

I am looking for someone who is generous enough to allow me to sell some cards on eBay through their screen name. I bid on eBay but ive never sold before and im not putting my credit card into the computer so i was wondering if i could sell my cards through your name. I would pay for all expenses, including listing fees, and fees to eBay. LMK if youre interested. Its a win-win situation for you, beacuse you get good feedback without selling a thing.

NoDoubt64 · August 29, 2002 3:19PM

cmon guys, im good for it. I have done over 35 good trades with different people (with teh exception of getting ripped off 2X) and i have 47 eBay refs alone! (from buying)

colton · August 29, 2002 3:21PM

id do it but not for just feedback

NoDoubt64 · August 30, 2002 2:01AM

colton- You would list the card and i would pay for all expensies. I wouldnt pay you though, i mean for doing this all for me, i would just like someojne to do it out of thewir generosity. LMK if you still are interested. Thanks

PSASPORTS · August 30, 2002 2:03AM

I'll do it for you, but you would have to send me your cards, so i know that you have them(cant go off a scan) And i would ship for you, How many items You looking to sell? Think you could throw a nice card or 2 for my time??? LMK Thanks

How could you bid on eBay but not sell??? You have to put your credit card # in just to get an account to do either. If you can bid you must have an account and therefore be able to sell. This smells fishy to me.....

hmm, yeah?

No. That only applies if using a hotmail or yahoo mailing address. They need some sort of verification since neither site verify information.

NoDoubt64 · August 30, 2002 2:34AM

pacmanssportscards- I signed up for eBay over a year and a half ago, and when i signed up i didnt have to type in a credit card.

PSAsports- If you do it im not going to throw in a card for you, i was just hoping you could do it out of your sheer generosity. I can assure you i have the card, plus i have a scan of it. I would pay for all expensies so you have nothing to worry ab out plus youd be getting positive feedback beacuse im a good eBayer. LMK if youre still intersted.

autobilia · August 30, 2002 3:01AM

You going to be searching for a while. I don't think anyone will do it without some sort of compensation and/or without having card on hand. Especially if they don't know you. It's no risk to you, but all the risk in the world for the seller. It's their rep, not yours. After 10 feedbacks with no negatives, it doesn't matter. You say you are a good trader which I don't doubt, but look at this example that Jason can verify. airkobe may have been disruptive, but I heard he was a good trader. Jason was selling for him without having the card on-hand. Then in the last few hours, airkobe told him if the Kobe didn't reach a certain price, he wouldn't sell. So, Jason was put in an unnecessary situation. I've seen people lose their accounts over that. You want your cake and eat it to. As a matter of fact, I lost my first account because of that in which I had 328 feedback. After that situation, I no longer sell for anyone. You don't want to give your credit card info for verification, don't want to compensate someone for selling for you and taking on all the responsibilities and risks, and don't want to ensure the seller that the card will be delivered to buyer. A lot of people are kind hearted and generous, but that doesn't mean they are stupid.

NoDoubt64 · August 30, 2002 3:10AM

well i guess autobilia wont be helping me, anyone else?

autobilia · August 30, 2002 3:17AM

That's just like me going to a card shop and telling a dealer: "Here is a list and scans of my cards. I want you to sell them for me. Take their money and I'll bring the cards to you for them to pick up. You not getting any money for it, but at least you will get more customers in your store."

pacmanssportscards · August 30, 2002 3:19AM

Well put, auto.

euphoria18 · August 30, 2002 3:21AM

I have sold for people before... but... i wouldnt risk doing it. You arent risking anything at all. I would do it if i had the card here so then i know 100% that it gets sent... because i wouldnt risk my feedback.

americanfreak · August 30, 2002 3:25AM

Im shocked that you think people would do this with out any compinsation. its there feedback and rep that gets messed up not your except on here i mean gee it would be no sweat for you to rip them off by notsending out and then they get kicked off ebay.

NoDoubt64 · August 30, 2002 5:15AM

I guess i couldl send you teh card i want to send but i havent traded with any of you guys so i dont trust you guys so thats another problem...

euphoria18 · August 30, 2002 5:16AM

lol.. guess you are SOL...lol

autobilia · August 30, 2002 5:21AM

<< <i>I guess i couldl send you teh card i want to send but i havent traded with any of you guys so i dont trust you guys so thats another problem... >>

Oh I see.. you are one of those "all for me" type people. If you can't trust them, why should they trust you? You are risking your cards, they are risking their feedback rating and account. So, that's a problem for both, not just you.

americanfreak · August 30, 2002 5:28AM

Ok you don't trust us but you want us to sell your cards for you and for free. Ya that makes alot of sence. I think most will agree you should compensate us and send us the cards we are selling so we know the people get the cards thats the only way any of us will do that. I will say this you need to do us and your self a favor and go sell the cards your self.

LiveAndLearn · August 30, 2002 5:39AM

I just read the post the first time before any of the replies but NoDoubts were added and had an old saying pop into my head "Never trust anyone that says 'trust me' ". It's like a sales pitch repeated. Asking for generosity in this manner is lame.

americanfreak · August 30, 2002 5:42AM

its big time lame. im just surprized some one would actualy ask this

NoDoubt64 · August 31, 2002 6:37AM

i dont find it lame how i ask out of generosity, i mean, i would send cards to one of the guys on my refs list but so far none of them have offered to help me.

BigE187211 · August 31, 2002 6:43AM

i would do it, but i charge a flat rate of 20%, this covers all the expenses, and i would also need the cards up front

americanfreak · August 31, 2002 6:48AM

No one would do it with out getting something like cards for there trouble. i mean you get something for nothing. you don;t sell the cards but you don;t want to give any thing to the people that are going to sell the cards. you want something for nothing. That is lame

LiveAndLearn · August 31, 2002 6:51AM

Asking for generosity on this is no different than the bum on the street corner asking for a quarter while expecting a buck in my opinion. Generosity without a cause (NY tragedy, telethons, etc.) is not something asked for it's something offered. That's what makes it lame.

SkiVermont3 · August 31, 2002 6:56AM

geez dude...what is wrong with you? you think that people are gonna waste their time, and put their reputation on the line for nothing? and you say you dont trust us enough to send the card to us first, why should anyone trust you? lol...euphoria put it perfectly, i guess youre just SOL.

americanfreak · August 31, 2002 11:31AM

SOL is perfectly put i must say.. I just can;t think some one would actualy ask some one to do that and the person doing it would not get anything in return. Its crazy

epag64 · August 31, 2002 11:45AM

lol..i needed a fellow member submit a auction for me..1st thing i mentioned was "i will generously throw in a $20 gu for your effort" which i did... second time time ,a different auction, item didnt meet the reserve..i still tossed in a $20 card..dont be cheap

americanfreak · August 31, 2002 11:57AM

ya i mean what is up with us doing it for free? there has to be insentives. And you don;t want us to have the cards to send out because you don;t trust us. and you just want us to trust you. thats like saying read my lips no new taxes and then blam o new taxes like bush sr or who ever it was. Get real. This just sounds like a scam to me

Caricon · August 31, 2002 12:26PM

Ok, thought I would leave my thoughts on this. I first 'have' put on things on ebay for other people.
And yes, I've done it for free. But not for people that I don't really know. I have put on cards for
people that I've never met, but have talked online for a long time. I didn't mind putting something
on for them. The way I worked it is, I put on the auction, then when it was over, I had the winner
send me the money. I took out cost for putting on the auction, the ending fee ebay charged, .39 cents
for a money order for the person that I put the auction on for, and .37 cents for a stamp to send the
money order to the winner. I then contacted the person selling it, gave him the address to send the
card to, and send him a money order. No big deal. But just remember, this was for someone I knew,
not just some stranger. I know there are some baseball card shops that will also put on an auction
for you too, but will charge a percentage. I don't like to put my credit card number out on the net
either, but I consider ebay to probably have one of the best security. I would really
consider just putting it on and putting on your own auctions.

TEDCOLLECTSSHAQ · August 31, 2002 2:10PM

NoDoubt64, you NO Doubt don't understand ebay or common sense, first your asking someone to risk their reputation and good name on ebay because you don't want to follow the rules they impose, then you imply you really don't trust the people you haven't traded with but its ok if they do this for you..... My comments to you are if you want to use Ebay follow their policies to do so. If you don't trust your credit card number in the hands of a business that needs you to be sucessful, to be profitable themselves you shouldn't use a credit card, cause guess what bud, every cashier in every store has to review their receipts at the end of the day and they have direct access to your account. If you are that parinoid about your credit card you probably shouldn't have one.................

cranejoshua · August 31, 2002 11:42PM

No Doubt, I think your intentions are in the right place with this, but as you can see, your request is not being warmly accepted. I have been dealing with eBay for a long time, both buying and selling, and I once agreed to sell some items for a "friend" that I worked with. I put the auctions up, and when I checked back with them I found that another of my "friends" was the high bidder (at well over $500). This person had no intention of buying the items, and so I cancelled his bids, which caused a big problem not only with the people in question but with eBay as well, who froze his account and wanted some answers. Now, I don't think you would try to go behind anyone's back, or do anything dishonest, but when you approach someone about selling your cards, that is the type of scenario they are wary of.

I am an established eBay member, and this is what I would require if you were to have me sell your cards. First, although we do not know eachother, I would have you mail me all the cards you wanted me to sell. Secondly, you would have to swear not to bid on the cards yourself, through your own screen name or a friends, to drive the price up. That is extremely unethical and is a violation of eBay's rules. I would also charge 20% of the total sale, and that would cover all your fees as well as compensate me for the time. That is a standand second party selling percentage. Now, I am not interested in selling your cards, but I am telling you as someone who lists many, many cards daily that your request is unreasonable, and a little selfish if you ask me. By the way, you CAN trust eBay with your credit card number, they are a stand up business.

NoDoubt64 · September 1, 2002 12:29PM

I would send the card to certain people from ym REFs list (for example- funnyguy0015, josher416, plante23) but they havent offered to help me and if they dont, ill live, its not biggy. You dont have to keep on calling me lame, if you dont want to help fine, i didnt mean any harm by this thread.

2323 · September 1, 2002 1:13PM

How can you possibly have 31.6% of all Bibby's made? there's no way of even knowing that, and since new cards are being made everyday, you would have to keep buying everyday, and I'm sorry to say this but you don't even sound old enough to have a job. Off topic I know, but I just have to find out if you seriously think you own almost 1/3 off all Bibby's made.

Now on subject- Are you really that much of a cheap azz that you can't even give someone a few cards to do you a big favor. I mean, you have to have millions of Mike Bibby cards, just throw in a couple of them and you'll probably find a couple people that will auction you're cards off for you.

He does.

I've seen them.

2323 · September 1, 2002 2:05PM

Is he talking about one brand, like sp authentic, or is he claiming to have 1/3 of ALL mike Bibby cards. How would someone even know if they had a certain percentage of a players cards?

funnyguy0015 · September 1, 2002 2:07PM

2323... on Beckett.com, you can input all of your cards of a certain player, and it will tell u what percentage of that player's cards you have...

lilsun1 · September 1, 2002 2:18PM

I had a member on the board sell some cards for me, and a video game system, he was generous enough to do this for me. We however had an agreement that I would send the day he recieved payment and would get a group of payments when all the cards were recieved. In addition to that he took listing, and 10-15% for his trouble, this was more than fair and I find it HILARIOUS you won't offer to give them something for the time it takes and the risk associated w/ their feedback when you are at NO RISK AT ALL.
