Two more eBay auctions



Pepsi Jersey

So I've be using eBay for years. Mostly buying but selling stuff too. I had a large collection of Precious Moments but then I decided to get rid of most of them so I sold them on eBay. I've bought tons of things. Over the years I've only had one guy who bought two things from me but then didn't want to pay with a money order (this was before PayPal). One time I bought something (can't remember what) and never got it, but it was only $15 or less. So I'm pretty confident using eBay.

Well in the last 5 weeks, I bought an eyeshadow, paid for it through Paypal right away, and now the seller has been suspended from eBay. Evidently s/he had started in the last few weeks started not shipping items after collecting for them. (Anyone else thinking Neil Entwistle?)

Then the guy who bought my not-bobbleheads didn't pay or email me. I sent an invoice, an email, then a reminder invoice. Nothing. Then I opened a dispute. Finally a response. Well he did pay today so now I just need to mail it. Update: 3/10 The dummy paid through Paypal with a credit card even though I told him I only take transfers from savings/checking accounts since I don't have a business account with Paypal. Ugg. Some people's kids.

I can't believe I never have problems then they come all at once. Oh well. So that's 3 out of 16 items sold. I still think the $2,200 is overstated.
