I HAVE HAD SOME EXPERIENCE BUYING AND SELLING ON EBAY AND I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE SOME GOOD ADVICE TO OFFER THOSE NEW TO EBAY.

NEW SELLERS:

FIRST OF ALL , HONESTY!! THAT SHOULD COME FIRST IN YOUR MIND WHEN YOU SELL ON EBAY. I FIND THAT SOME SELLERS CAN BE DECEIVING AND OMIT OR SOMETIMES WORD THINGS IN A WAY THAT CAN BE DECEIVING. THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS BE HONEST AND BE PRECISE ABOUT YOUR ITEM. DESCRIBE EVERYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT IT AND THAT MEANS ANY FLAWS IT MAY HAVE ALSO. THIS WILL AVOID YOU HAVING TO GO THROUGH THE ORDEAL OF DEALING WITH A CUSTOMER WHO FEELS THAT THEY WERE DECEIVED AND WANTS THEIR  MONEY BACK.

 SOME SELLERS ADD CHARGES WHEN YOU MOVE TO SHIPPING PART OF  LISTING .IF YOU ARE ADDING CHARGES AND NOT LETTING YOUR  CUSTOMERS KNOW WHAT THESE CHARGES ARE FOR THEY MAY THINK THAT YOU ARE NOT SOMEONE GOOD TO BUY FROM. BE REASONABLE PUT YOUR SELF IN THE POSITION OF THE BUYER AND TREAT THEM HOW YOU WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED IF YOU WERE THE CUSTOMER. ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ITEMS YOU ARE SELLING AS SOON AS YOU CAN AND BE COURTEOUS.

 NEW BUYERS :

I HAVE A FEW TIPS THAT MAY SAVE YOU SOME DISSSAPOINTMENT:

1) BEFOR YOU BID LOOK  AT THE SELLERS FEEDBACK  AND READ THE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK  . THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WAY OF FINDING OUT FOR YOURSELF  WHETHER OR NOT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE SENDING THIS SELLER MONEY FOR SOMETHING.

2) ASK QUESTIONS DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK EVEN WHAT YOU MAY THINK IS THE DUMBEST QUESTION. IT IS YOUR MONEY YOU DESERVE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE SPENDING IT ON.

3)  WATCHING AN ITEM IS A GOOD WAY OF DETERMINING IF THE ITEM IS GETTING TO BE MORE THAN YOU MAY WANT TO SPEND AND ALSO WATCHING SEVERAL OF THE SAME ITEMS AT ONCE HELPS YOU TO DECIDE WHICH IS THE BETTER BARGAIN

4)HERES A GOOD TIP: ASK THESE CERTAIN QUESTIONS AS THEY APPLY TO THE ITEMS YOUARE WANTING TO BUY IF  NOT ALREADY STATED IN THE LISTING:

     A)IS IT NEW OR USED? REFURBISHED OR ETC....

     B) HOW SOON DO YOU SHIP AFTER RECEIVING PAYMENT?

     C) WHAT TYPE OF RETURNPOLICY DO YOU HAVE?

     D)DOES THE ITEM WORK?

     E) DO YOU OFFER INSURANCE?

5)WHEN YOU PAY FOR AN ITEM KEEP A RECEIPT OF YOUR PURCHASE MAKE A COPY OF YOUR PAYPAL RECEIPT OR IF YOU PAY BY MONEY ORDER KEEP A COPY OF THAT TO

6) E-MAIL THE SELLER IF YOU BUY AN ITEM TO LET THEM KNOW YOU PURCHASED AND ITEM AND HOW MUCH YOU PAID FOR IT AND HOW YOU PAID FOR IT. THIS IS AN EXTRA PRECAUTION TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE RECORDS OF E-MAILS YOU SENT

7) MOST OF ALL BE CAREFUL IT IS SAD TO KNOW THAT NOT ALL PEOPLE BELIEVE IN HONESTY AND WOULD RATHER GET NEGATIVE FEEDBACK THAN TO MAKE THEIR CUSTOMERS HAPPY.  SHOP AS IF YOU WOULD WHEN YO ARE SEEING AN ITEM IN PERSON WHAT QUESTIONS COME TO MIND WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING SHOULD BE THE ONES YOUASK THE SELLER.

PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO WRITE ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND WELCOME TO EBAY!
