selling expensive item on ebay question

[Jcosta19]

I'm not a seller but agree that I would be concerned about these kind of scams if I did sell high dollar items on ebay.

But if it's a true scammer why not just go for the BIN price? Or what's to stop them from doing that if the offer is rejected?

Consign it to an auction house. Because, sometimes you just gotta say WTF.

We all started with an impeccable 100 percent 100 plus feedbacks right. I would communicate with the potential buyer and ask some reasonable questions.. We all start somewhere..

While I am not as far as the "never" camp, for all the reasons mentioned above I would proceed with EXTREME caution. Try to message them back and forth a bit and see how that goes. If it is something you are confident you will find another buyer for, that may be reason enough to decline and move on. If it is something more obscure and you aren't sure about another buyer - try vetting them a bit.

Thats exactly what I do, I try to start a conversation with the buyer,you can usually tell when someone is a sincere buyer.

Everybody had 1 feedback at one time, not everyone is looking to rip people off.

If you do the deal, I would recommend sending registered mail--I had a card stolen in transit --after four months and all my time entering a claim USPS DENIED my claim, so before the sale you might want to look into buying a private insurance policy. My private insurance holder paid my claim within a week!

Does PWCC still get high prices or have they taken a beating since the scandal?

They're doing just fine continuing to spread crap in the marketplace, and hiding bidder identities on every listing so consignors can shill with impunity.
