I'm starting to lose faith in eBay buyers now.

 

Buyer 1 - Contacts me about a practice jersey.  He wants to strip the front logo off and put a new one on.  Asks for a significant discount... close to 80% off the list price.

 

Buyer 2 - Similar to the other buyer but he's asking about a pro stock game jersey.  He only wants one of the patches on the jersey so he offers me a small fraction of what the jersey is selling for because he doesn't have a need for the jersey, just the patch.

 

I don't care what their intentions with the jerseys are but I'm not going to give them a significant discount because of that.  Make a fair offer on the jersey, do what you need to do and then flip it again.


If your bag has wheels, you don't.

Wow, unbelievable. I've purchased jerseys just for the crests to convert into practice jerseys, but have always paid full price. To me, the price is worth it knowing that I can't get the jersey or crests anywhere else.


"What is your lowest/best price?" is NOT an offer.

This situation is a little odd - buyer with Russian name just bought my gloves and I googled shipping address.  Address looks like a warehouse in Homestead PA that is being listed for lease (can't tell if anyone living at the warehouse).  I told ebay buyer (name is 54911844) address looked uncertain and that buyer told me he always uses this address and they ship to him in Russia.  Ebay said go ahead and ship and as long as tracking number shows item was delivered I am protected.  I'm shipping today so I'll let you know what happens.

Avoid this seller at all costs: supremebstc0  /   Mason Brown   in TN. 

 

  Bought a skate oven, arrived with a shattered glass door. I requested a refund as I couldn't locate a replacement door. Got a lot of attitude and when returned was not refunded $60 in return shipping as agreed.  Absolute nightmare to deal with.

nshalaby14:

Bought a stick from me. In the pictures I have 2 shown but in both the notes and item description it explicitly states that there are two pictured but only 1 for sale.

Uses buy it now, then almost a full day later wants to cancel the sale because he didn’t read the description and just looked at the pictures. That’s my problem why? Also, not to mention, no one in their right mind would sell 2 brand new sticks for the price that he paid for one, which is already substantially discounted from full price.

Custom everything.

Planka_4 - Stole my 2X skates by filing a false "not as described" report when the skates were in the exact condition and size as described. Claimed they "didn't fit" and eBay immediately sided with the buyer. eBay reps didn't understand English and I lost $200 and perfectly good skates.

Probably not the right thread for this, but I have just taken all of my listings off of eBay. Not happy with their new payment handling. I wish there was some option to go through PayPal again

I hate the newest ebay changes with direct account payments and the delays of them handling the transaction first for processing. Exclusively selling elsewhere because of these changes and also the lack of seller protection (buyers can abuse the “item not as described” and win fraudulent claims without any recourse.

100% the biggest issues. Plus the fee scale changed and it's even worse than before, if that's possible.

Not sure how this works for Canucks, but for US citizens, they take your SS number now and report it as earnings for tax purposes. A good portion of my "sales" are just trying to recoup what I paid on gear I didn't like. It's a far cry from "earnings." Usually just trying to unload a stick I didn't like for a lot less than I paid. Take the loss, the fees and then paying taxes and I might as well just give the gear away.

Thankfully there are places like s2k

Does anyone actually sell on ebay anymore? I removed my 300+ items once they started requiring you to link your bank account to eBay.

Me too. Sold one item and got a tax form to report the "earnings" to the IRS. That was the end of eBay for me. I pay my taxes, but I bought a pair of pants, didn't fit me and put them on eBay, accepted an offer for $25 less than I paid, plus eBay fees, and then I have to pay taxes on the "sale." Foh
