Hey guys! Thank you so much for your response in regards to my David Yurman bracelet. Much appreciated!
Ryanne, I think thats a great idea to only deal with an auction house for really high end stuff. I learned the hard way.
A few things I didn’t mention in regards to this buyer. She had her own ebay store where she was selling all high end, highly counterfeited items, including David Yurman bracelets. She also vacated ebay and closed her ebay store after ebay gave her my money, literally the very hour she received my money. And this is why I was so surprised that ebay would side with her, when it was so obvious that she was scamming.
Another thing that I noticed about her is that she had perfect feedback of 2000 transactions, which I realized can be bought on ebay for a penny in these ebay listings that offer a silly photo via email in exchange for a penny and obviously good feedback. You cant really make good informed choices on ebay just based on feedback, and it sucks because it’s all we have.
Thank you Jay! It’s been hard but it was definitely a learning experience to grow from. I now know that I want to resell full time. I love the freedom from bosses it gives me. I can never go back now to the way things were.
Thanks for your advice! I’ll list them and see what happens. I just sold a ceramic snowman tea light yesterday, so people are still looking:)
I just list the size and take a enough photos so people can know exactly what they are getting. I also try to show close ups of the wear on the soles.
@Lawoman, I never measured insoles before, I’m gonna start after I saw your post. Can I ask…do you use a regular tape measure to do that? I tried measuring insoles before but stopped because I found it difficult to get the tape measure inside the shoe without moving around, and the whole process felt a bit wonky.Thank you so much guys.
Didymus and Whiskey, great advice. Would you say it’s best to hit an estate sale the last day?
Thank you Terry and Mayberry.
She didn’t say if it was real or not. I didn’t ask for fear of offending her again.
I will just take it as a lesson, like I sort of took a class today. I also think I’m better off hitting the thrift stores rather than the estate sales. Its less of a risk for me money wise.
It was an estate sale run by the home owner who said she was downsizing and making a move to florida. I think I should have left at that point, since it seemed she wanted top dollar for everything and was not open to negotiation. She seemed to get offended when I tried to ask for a better deal. I should have just left.
