He should get his head around the PayPal concept that "insurance is for the seller's benefit."
PayPal will ALMOST ALWAYS refund a buyer whose item was lost/damaged. The smart-play
is to include the insurance in the S+H fee; OR, at least, make insurance manadatory and charge
extra for it. If the buyer does not buy insurance, the seller BETTER, unless he wants to lose
ALOT of money.
Nice cards. Hard to get started on EBAY right now. Good luck.

Trial by Fire!
The least he could have done was say they were his auctions.

I actually meant to put that on the "sell, trade" forum with my other eBay notices. Would that have been better?
Mike
Nice card and again good luck.

lol yeah I know, last time you were 'nice' I wound up fighting with some nitwit.

Not that I minded.

<< <i>Nice card - but the centering for sure makes it a low end 8. You probably got about what the card is worth, perhaps a bit less because of your very low feedback number. You would have probably been better advised to sell a number of low priced to medium priced cards, build up some positive ebay feedback to show potential buyers a track record of sorts, before listing a more expensive card. >>
Yep, exactly!
Thats exactly what I did, I sold pleanty of low price cards and other items, then when I started to get around 50 or so feedbacks, then I started to sell higher priced cards and so on.
Giovanni
With the economy the way it is that was pretty good IMO.
Anyone know what VCP says regarding this card?
Steve
Edited to add: The winner will probably flip it for $750 or list it in an ebay store for $800
I'll try to do a better job restricting my eBay posts to the B/S/T forum.

By the way, I enjoyed the "SPAM" postings. I bet you guys can't wait for an opportunity to post those. Happy I could help!!
Thanks - Mike

That is a good first step. If the buyer pays right after the auction end, they have fullfilled their end of the bargain. Give them the feedback they deserve. They will reciprocate, and with graded cards you will rarely run into any problems.

That was very light teasing Mike, so if it bothered you, then this may not be the right message board community for you. If you chuckled and said "oh those zany guys", then you will fit right in. This place also seems friendlier when you mix in a few "non selling" posts too. Welcome aboard.

Not really, and we have been through this a million times. A buyer has fullfilled his end when he gets the item and is satisfied.
He then can leave feedback or simply email the seller. IMO this is when the buyer has fullfilled his end of the bargain.
Mike if I was you I'd not leave feedback before the buyer gets his item.

I agree - That's exactly what I do. In my opinion this displays confidence in your product, and gives the buyer incentive to leave positive feedback sooner and better.

thats what a good prostitute does.

They usually use "Buy it Now"

If theres a really good one they might just do auction style!

It didn't bother me. I deserved it for 'mis-posting'. (Though I wish I'd have hit the right board.) Actually, I thought the post was pretty funny. I like to think of the group as "those wild and crazy guys" (being a big SNL fan). If I ever have any "non-selling" posts of any value I'll be sure to send along.
Actually I find the forums rather interesting and very enlightening, for the most part. I'm on a steep learning curve.

The question was about when a seller should leave feedback. Legit sellers will have confidence in their product and leave feedback after payment. There is nothing else the buyer can do except expecting the item to be delivered as advertised, which would then entail positive feedback left for the seller.
If the buyer is not satisfied, a legit seller will make things right (within reason). Kind of goes back to business 101 which unfortunately all too many ebay sellers do not practice.

the seller should be buying insurance to cover his butt, not the buyer.
The question was about when a seller should leave feedback.
Yes I know it was and that is why I simply said it is best to wait until the buyer has the item in hand.
It has nothing to do with being a good seller or having confidence in ones items.
IMO, and it is only my opinion, I prefer to wait until the buyer leaves it for me OR emails me and
lets me know they are satisfied, or dissatisfied. If satisfied I leave feedback first, if they happen to leave it first
I reciprocate, my whole point is the buyer is not done simply when he pays. So many things can occur between the time
he pays and the time he gets the item in hand.
We have seen so many times where a seller left feedback first and then had a problem.
