Thread: Ebay question...

Tweet

Ok I have a situation where I decided to sell something on Ebay. I was discussing it on another forum when I was approached by Joe Blow and asked how much I wanted to sell it for? I never answered the price request as I didn't know how much to ask for it. I talked to a buddy of mine and offered it to him as he could most likely use it in his business. He said why dont you try to list it at a starting point of $75.00 on ebay. If it doesn't sell he would give me $75.00 for it... Ok, fine so I list it then post on the other forum that it is on ebay for $75.00 and then it started. Why didn't I just give Joe Blow a price and sell To him outright, I was asked? Now after a little back and forth I find Joe Blow is a little on the narcissistic side I fear and they often lie and find sport in making others uncomfortable.

This was one of the last things I was told by him... "By the time you screw with the POS Ebay and pay pal fees you will be left with a bad taste in your mouth. Especially when ebay pulls your funds because the buyer felt he was ripped off."

Which got me thinking, If he is writing this he is probably thinking abut it? So My thought would be that he wins the auction. I ship him a nice piece of equipment. He changes out the good guts for the bad guts he already has and turns me in for shipping bad goods? How can I notarize or certify that the piece I shipped was indeed in good shape?
