Ever had issues selling on ebay

[docterkiwi]

So i sold some paintball gear on ebay for about 640 bucks. Now i've sold alot of stuff on ebay up to 200 dollars and i always to make sure i give the buyer enough info. Now heres where my story begins. The guy buys the gun now then starts asking questions that i clearly answered in the discription and that could be answered by looking at the pictures. And now after answering his annoying questions very profesionally he wont respond to my invoice, or messages and i've waited all day. Now i pretty much wasted 4 days of my time. #rant

Ive never had a problem selling on eBay. If you run into someone like that, just kindly answer their questions and move on.

Give him 3 days then report him for not paying.

eBay will take care of all the messy details. Just do your part as a buyer, give him 3 days, and if he fails to pay, report him to eBay. If you want the process to be taken care of very quickly, call eBay. The people who work their will be more then happy to quickly take care of your issue, because they really dont give two fucks.

Yeah, 48 or 72 hours are the usual time limits set for payments by most sellers on eBay. Some sellers may go up to 7 days for more expensive items. In fact, most large stores on eBay clearly say that on a Payment section in their listing.

If he doesn't respond or pay within 2 or 3 days of pressing the buy it now button, file a case for non payment and re-list.

Also, $650 is a lot of money, so to minimize risk of being scammed, take lots of pictures and meticulously record everything you can such as serial numbers, cosmetic defects, parts, functionality, etc. because unfortunately, eBay is biased towards the buyer, rather than the seller, so it is very easy to be scammed by a buyer with reporting items DOA, returning different/damaged products (which is why serial numbers are important), etc.

I sold a Blackberry on eBay once and received payment and everything. Sent out the item and like a week after they received it I got an email saying it it was defective. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and refunded the money and asked for the item back. They sent it back and it was definitely damages, but it was damaged in a way that was most likely caused by the buyer at some point. I had to re-list the item with the new defect and got a considerable amount less for it.
