    on grateful dead shirts, the comfort colors ones aren't valuable because that's a modern label even though it's a tag... you wanna look for the true vintage ones from liquid blue, or anything with a made in the usa tag that's single stitch... also, modern shirts from the brand online ceramics can be good

    I've suffered some really arrogant and verbally aggressive American sellers, who seemed to fly off the handle at the slightest disagreement with them. It soured many a purchase experience and caused me to avoid them with a kind of post-trauma wariness if I even saw the item was from a US seller. Happened way too many times for it NOT to be noticeable, compared to buying from other countries. What gives?

    I tried Posh and felt like I has less control of my shop there. If you want to send offers to buyers the offer has to be higher than past offers you sent on that item. They also make you discount shipping when you send an offer. Another thing I didn't like is that they always want you to cut your prices. I have vintage items that I know are long sell items. I price fairly and do not want to cut my listing price. Ebay lets me market the way I want. Just some food for thought.

    You have to play eBay's game or you will get burned. 1. Offer FREE RETURNS 2.On high value items never offer free shipping because original shipping does not have to be refunded if you offer FREE RETURNS. 3. Never open a case before the item is returned. If you do your screwed, eBay will force the item to be returned and you will pay for it. ( an example of this you sold an item you know was factory sealed and the buyer says it was missing parts) 4. If you offer FREE SHIPPING you can deduct up to a 50% restocking fee if the buyer returns something used or other fraudulent reason that you can prove. Take it or leave it 50% or they will most likely decide with the buyer if you open a case.

    The smelly item thing must be going around cause I have had 4 of the same complaints in the last month or so. The one that really puzzled me was I sold some sealed sports cards new factory sealed and they opened them and said they smelled of a horrific odor, and opened a return. When I shipped the item they were sealed and now eBay forced me to refund money on an opened product that was new and factory sealed due to an odor he smelled when opening them. Another occasion was an item that apparently smelled of smoke, also brand new and no one smokes here and we have oxygen in use in my home. Ebay forced a refund there as well. I have considered not using the platform any more myself. seems they do not care about the seller at all anymore. My thing is if not for sellers they would have no buyers nor make money. Good luck to you on what ever you decide to do.

    I just started, 3 months ago, selling on eBay. I have had ONE bad buyer, i think scammer, and it is disheartening to have that RED negative feedback. However, this BAD buyer forced me to find out HOW to deal with this issue, the action to take, the action to pursue, the results to expect, and how to set up my store policies differently. Even though I did lose the sale, $45.00 and shipping costs, I did get my item back, damaged, but I learned a lot. Will it happen again, probably, will I handle it differently, hopefully better. Still have the red mark, but i left a reply on it to inform the guy was a jerk. Ebay, did nothing, just form letter messages. I think I just avoided a major scammer this morning. Price of doing business is a real thing. P.S. You should not have given a partial refund. The guy wanted me to, no way...good luck to us here in Texas

    FYI If a buyer opens up an INAD (Item not as described) you are required regardless of your policy to pay for the return shipping. You also get a ding on your performance metrics, and if you get too many people being dishonest about the return reason, you'll get an additional 6% in fee. Ebay is setup to milk you for every penny you can get, while treating you like you're dirt.
