Thank you very much for this information. This is helpful.
I am particularly looking for how to authenticate men and women’s accessories such as clothing, shoes, wallets, purses etc.
If you find an item at a thrift store that looks real and is a high end item, what do you use to make sure it really is before listing it at the value it would draw as a high end item?

Actually no.
Canceling for price goes against ebay policy.

Using eBay
In connection with using or accessing the Services you will not:
post, list or upload content or items in inappropriate categories or areas on our sites;
breach or circumvent any laws, third-party rights or our systems, policies, or determinations of your account status;use our Services if you are not able to form legally binding contracts (for example, if you are under 18 years old), or are temporarily or indefinitely suspended from using our sites, services, applications or tools;
fail to pay for items purchased by you, unless you have a valid reason as set out in an eBay policy, for example, the seller has materially changed the item’s description after you bid, a clear typographical error is made, or you cannot contact the seller (see our Unpaid item policy);
fail to deliver items sold by you, unless you have a valid reason as set out in an eBay policy, for example, the buyer fails to comply with the posted terms in your listing or you cannot contact the buyer;manipulate the price of any item or interfere with any other user’s listings
Yes, buyers are entering into a contract.

Purchase Conditions
When buying an item, you agree to the rules for buyers and that:
You are responsible for reading the full item listing before making a bid or commitment to buy.
You enter into a legally binding contract to purchase an item when you commit to buy an item, your offer for an item is accepted, or if you have the winning bid (or your bid is otherwise accepted).
This area is covered under Using Ebay.
There are varied perspectives on this situation.
Sometimes it is good to just go to the source for clarification.
I would offer that due to the fact that listings can be created and stored as drafts (more than 30 at a time), that you and your husband both create listings. Once the listings are finished, the rest goes very fast because you are just left with measurements and pictures. Identify who will photograph what. Each one of you will then take your perspective pics, edit them if needed, and then upload them into the drafts. This may help avoid having any wait time. Try to have variety in what you each work on to avoid boredom and/or burn out from only working on one kind of item.
That would be an interesting piece to donate to the United States Holocaust Museum.

Jay,
I am not surprised you talked about it (as you noted – you and Ryanne are both very open about your lives and business experiences), but I am surprised by what was shared. You and Ryanne have both consistently infused good business practices, good customer service, and follow through into the podcasts and forums. You have also both infused that although the money is important, it still about following through as business people and providing good customer service – allowing returns because you want the customer to be happy with their purchase eventhough you lose the monies from the sale and have to relist the item. While this was not a return, the concept was the same – a sale was made and completed and even in the process of being shipped out. Once the money changed hands, the only thing left to do was to send the item and to provide good follow-up customer service if needed.Can you imagine going somewhere to make a purchase, making the purchase, and then as you are walking out the door with your purchase having the sales person stop you to ask for more money and telling you that you can not have the purchased item unless you pay more? IF I recall correctly, a similar situation actually happened to you when you were buying an item and the seller realized he undervalued the item and tried to get more money from you.
And you are right, it is not about marketing yourself and how great you are but many of us look to you guys and this forum to help guide us in our selling practices and experiences. I think every seller has to decide what business practices they abide by.
Personally, I am really surprised you guys shared the story because what occurred does not seem consistent with the general selling thought pattern that has been shared in here.
I am surprised that the buyer (who you noted is also a seller) did not try to pursue the case through ebay. It would seem to me that ebay would have probably taken some action that may have resulted in a loss of the money you earned by canceling the sale after you agreed to it and then putting the item back up for auction. It may have also resulted in some action taken on your account.
You may want to use ebay labels which come with automatic tracking. I do think there are people who know the system and try to work it (especially with some of the stories posted here), so putting a strategy like ebay labels in place may be of benefit.
Thank you for such a detailed response. You make it sound so easy which we know it’s not.
You have provided us with a good start.
Thank you.MDC,
I was wondering if you could share some tell tale signs as to whether to even bother bringing a piece home if found while sourcing. I am not so much interested in the in depth understanding needed for the high priced/rare, highly sought after pieces, but instead distinguishing between pieces that may be just junk and pieces that may actually have some sellable value.
On another note, I was wondering if you could share if digital prints still have value as long as it is stated that it is such.
