when an eBay seller doesn’t accept Paypal

by Shari Smith on July 30, 2010

Regarding the seller that sent you an invoice to pay other than with Paypal, some sellers who sell thousands of items, have their own merchant account and some of them don’t accept Paypal. How many feedback does the scale seller have? If it’s in the thousands, I think you’re safe, but if they accept Paypal, you can send them a message asking them to resend you an invoice that allows you to pay with Paypal.

Using a drop shipper

by Shari Smith on July 22, 2010

I have not heard of the company you mentioned for drop shipping, but they might be just fine. My advice is that you do not sign up for anything that is a lot of money up front or monthly. Start small and test it out. You should be able to research their items, what they are selling for on eBay by searching the completed listings, and figure out what your profit will be. A good site with thousands of manufacturers is Worldwide Brands.

If I were you I would email the lady who made the return in person and let her know that unbeknownst to her, neutral feedback lowers your feedback percentage (most people think only negative feedback does). Then explain that you worked with her to work it all out (with the return) and that [...]

International Shipping on eBay

July 10, 2010

Regarding international shipping—Did you ship that item in a Small flat rate box or flat rate envelope? If so, sounds okay, although the second label was your receipt you could’ve kept. Otherwise, if you ship international in any other priority mail box, you want to print that on paper (not sticky label). That will print [...]

International shipping question on eBay

June 21, 2010

I have a possible buyer in Canada, even though my listing says US only. If I revise the listing to include international shipping for her, when I go to Paypal to print the shipping label, does it take into account that it’s going to Canada? Or do I have to do [...]

When should a seller leave feedback for a buyer

June 17, 2010

My personal approach is that I use a tool that leaves feedback for the buyer after s/he has left feedback for me. The reason I do this is because I don’t want to leave positive feedback for someone if they turn out to be the 1% of crazy people.
On the other hand, someone who [...]

My advice on selling expensive pair sapphire earrings on eBay

June 3, 2010

My advice would be to list them on a fixed price listing (fixed price listings are 50c every 30 days and an auction would be $2 every 7 days). I think this will take longer than 7 days to sell so I think you should do Fixed price and check off the box when creating [...]

Question was:
For turbo lister I copy and paste my writeup (which is in a word table) into turbo lister. 98% of the time this works fine. Will I be able to do this in the new listing tool?
