If ebay pick up attempts to sell out of eBay (businesses for sure) they threaten you with suspension, unknown fees, and block some messages without telling you.
You need to know how to take the listing down but not trigger a NannyEbay investigation and the hassle that comes with it.
There are also fraudsters at work, asking sellers to do things differently to the rules
Plenty to make a sensitive soul paranoid.
Same username on both iirc or close enough. I don't sell on eBay much, not in years due to the fees. Buy less now to due to having to pay for the privilege of buying these days.
I think it's a platform that needs to change, buyers always seemed to be favoured when there were issues (not had any myself but know a number of people who fell foul of a buyer playing the game and winning, had an issue as a buyer recently enough, item was fake so asked for refund, answer no. Opened cade, got partial refund offer and could keep item, took that and was then inundated with requests to return the item, even threats to arrive at my house to extract item or revenge, reported to eBay but they did nothing and messages still dropped in until I guess they got bored of sending idle threats).
Now that buyers pay fees, will the reverse happen and sellers always get the benefit? Either way it's all illogical captain.
Would much prefer to do deals on here, folk are more respectable.
There are some RB users who buy low on here and sell high on eBay, that doesn't sit well with me. We all know a few of these users.
Even had a few experiences of users selling on here at a higher price than on other platforms like pinkbike. When I've tried to buy via here and asked for the pinkbike price, I've been ignored. When trying to buy on pinkbike, I've again been ignored.
Transparency and fairness all the way for me.
