<p>[QUOTE="trip98, post: 9541034, member: 65"]I have been selling on ebay since 1998 part-time. Things I sell have changed over the years to keep-up with buyer demand. The site changes over the years have been good and bad. I have tried many sites Mercari, Chairish, Etsy and few others and ebay has always out-sold them all. Ebay is not easy, from the time it takes to list, following ebay rules and trying to stay ahead of stagnant sales. I find most of the scammers or crazy people are sellers too. As far as scammers go, I have a handful over the years and I have avoided negative feedback and dollar losses for almost all of them. My biggest $ loss had nothing to do with ebay, but with USPS damaging a $3,000 mini dining room set, securely packaged and insured. The box arrived dented in. I never got reimbursed by the private co that handles insurance for USPS's high value claims. After jumping through all the hoops, more photos, proof insurance, buyer address, asking the buyer to bring item to local post office to inspect, etc, they finally said my claim timed out and I would have to sue to get refunded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
