Selling on ebay

[compo]

We recently sold a bicycle on Gumtree. Advert appeared, guy rang up, came along, saw the bike, gave us the cash and rode off into the sunset. No fuss or bother, no fees. That was our first Gumtree sale and I am sure it wont be the last. I still buy off Ebay though (and amazon).

I stopped using eBay years ago, and paypal. I buy my stuff from proper online retailers. Or shops.

I bought parts for the toilet flush system from ebay. Even the local plumbers merchant quoted a higher price.

That said i stopped selling on ebay years ago.

it was a handlebar box but not the one for the bars - the box wasn't listed in the listing. I can't understand this for 3-year old bars and stem.

If you have a whinge to ebay they should remove the neg comment.
I used to sell my jewellery on ebay but I stopped in about 03 when it started to get silly. I got a stinking feedback about a 8mm x 5mm carved tiger eye owl pendant. Buyer complained that she didn't realise that it would be so small!!!! She must have bigger millimeters in her bit of the world. I do buy on there though. Too flaming expensive to sell.

EBay's rubbish, its become one big problem, the same as paypal

Use it all the time with zero problems.

Rarely use ebay though nowadays.

Sold a bike on eBay but did cash in hand on pick up and split some cash and cancelled the transaction.

I've sold a few bits for a friend recently and getting annoyed that paypal won't release the money to me for a good few weeks due to lack of selling history. Not sure I will use it again

Used a lot in the past as a seller, but only ever list on free weekends now. Whilst I don't entirely agree with Ebay having 10% of postage costs, it does stop the £500 items being put up for £10 BIN and £490 postage charge...
