That's true. If you have only one item to sell, you pretty well just have to, "go for it".....List it, and see what happens. The only other alternative is for you to find someone else to list it for you....Someone who does have a good track record....... While some buyers will not buy from somebody without a record, plenty of folks will. So put up some low value/low risk items and sell them at less than potential top dollar, ship the stuff well and fast, and soon you have a bunch of "He's the God of e-bay sellers" in the comments. After that put up the higher value items. There will always be someone who says "Never buy from an unrated seller." ... but every seller needs to start somewhere... -- -- rec.photo.equipment.35mm user resource: -- http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch.-- |

It's somebody selling thier own item. They aren't interested in scamming. Partly because they're honest partly because even if they weren't they haven't learned all the tricks. They also are more likely to mislabel stuff. The flip side is they often have unreal ideas of what stuff is worth. And yes some are scammers posing as small time private sellers. But the best deals usually come from newbie sellers. Nick |

I've got nearly 1200 positive feedback on eBay in over 1400 transactions (not everyone leaves feedback) and would deserve to be committed to an asylum if I ever went for such an offer.

Ken (rosey on eBay) How would you suggest a person sell on e-bay who has simply never done it before then? Everyone has to start somewhere. So seriously...how would one start, given that this has to mean a zero feedback history? Start small, with cheaper items, then, as your reputation builds, go for the more expensive stuff.......I know that I will trust almost anyone for stuff that sells for less than $50 or so. I only worry about good feedback when I am laying out some real money....... That doesn't help me if I want to sell my Canon 100-400 IS L. I don't want to fiddle around selling garage-sale crap for a few months just so I can sell a lens. That's true.

A lot of people do this, and there are a few that will do it as a commercial transcation, just like a shop doing a commission sale for you. Peter Yes, and I see nothing wrong with it. If you are careful to protect your own reputation by inspecting whatever you sell, even if it belongs to someone else, then it's perfectly valid. However, if you sell your reputation, "blind", then it is misleading, and wrong....... |
