Ok I previously posted about how I was starting out on eBay and was having a blast. Granted, I’m still having a good time, but for crying out loud, I’ve been having the damnedest time trying to sell things the last couple of weeks.
First, I listed kind of a big item. It sold! I was pretty stoked. Too bad the person never paid me for it. Lame. So after contacting them twice and not receiving any response, I contacted eBay to get this shiz straightened out. This is still a work in progress. Wanting the item out of my house, I re-listed it. I put in the extra money to list it on a 10-day schedule, plus schedule it to end at a particular time. Hey – you gotta do what you gotta do to make some extra $$$!
So this time it’s up for a couple of days (well 2) and I get a question about it. Awesome. I also have 4 people watching it, with over 7 days to go. All of this seems promising. Then I got an email – my item SOLD!!! Score – the person did the Buy It Now option for like $90. That’s amazing.
Then I got an email from the buyer. He didn’t mean to make the purchase and would like to cancel. Are you freaking joking??!?!? So then I had to go through the process of canceling this idiot’s transaction and re-re-listing my item. UGH. Nearly $2 on the listing each time I did it, so that’s almost $4 wasted on 2 listings that didn’t actually make money.
And to think I checked the box that blocks bidders who might complicate the transaction.
Maybe third try is a charm? Wish me luck!!!
