What would yo do?

Re: What would yo do?

I did get a offer that I sold it for, but it is no where near what I paid. The bat that I wanted is a Jeter that was on ebay. It was the first style of maple bats to come out and a steiner. I know most of you will think I am nuts for selling auto Jeter to get this bat. But it is one of the more rare bats you will find of Jeter. Seeing as that label styling was only available for a very short period. If I had to guess I would say maybe 6-12 where made. I will have to ask BHM to verify. Being a Steiner bat witch puts it in Jeters hands, rarity of the bat and the fact there is a crack, so it shows why he stoped using it. That is why I bought this bat.
Thanks for opinions guys

Re: What would yo do?

IMO, you are doing the right thing now, setting a price you would like to get, and accepting offers. I never use auction style when selling something that is not rare or unusual, you never get what you would like for the item. Plus, people perfer a but it now choice.

Re: What would yo do?

were you able to sell this in time before the other item you wanted ended?

Re: What would yo do?

Just curious - can you give some examples of the threats? The only problem I have had with the new system is that people don't pay me as quickly. No threats from buyers.

Here is one that is simple, and I took care of the customer, but an example:

"Annual #10 is in terrible condition. I will be giving you a Poor rating tomorrow."

Now, he didn't say your book was in terrible condition, I have left you negative feedback, he said tomorrow he will give me a poor rating. Odd, why wait a day if you can email me about this? He knew what he was doing, he was trying to get money back from me.

I have others, but I also have 16,602 deleted emails from this year so it is too hard to find.

Re: What would yo do?

so far so good, I have re-listed the bat, and the buyer agreed to not to go through with the transaction. Now I just have to sell this bat, before what I want gets away.

Re: What would yo do?

I am not happy with the new feedback policy. I have had abusive buyers threatening to leave negative feedback for silly reasons now that I never ran into before. They know they have me by the balls so I have to make them happy or suffer - I believe them to be abusing the system and they know they can now.

Re: What would yo do?

Frik can I pose this to you...... What if you found a Jeff Bagwell game used auto'd????? You had no idea this item existed. The price is out of your range UNLESS you sell 1 or more of your current cherished items. Dude who has said Bagwell item says "Bro I need the cash in 2 days or I am going to sell it to John Doe." So you post your cherished items on a forum with specific rules. You would never part with said items except for the fact this other Bagwell item is off the hook. You list your items with SPECIFIC rules and then....."well I won but can I pay you in 10 days?"....... So from what I read you would be more than happy to lose your charished Bagwell items AND the item you sold them for because the guy who used Buy It Now on your auction has personal issues...... I am not trying to be nasty I am trying to put you in the shoes of the seller. You never know what people are sacrificing when they sell items. Perhaps they have strict rules because they are chasing their dream.

Good point! I stand corrected. If the policy was clearly stated as payment within 24 hours, then you are right on this one.

Re: What would yo do?

You can file a Mutual Agreement Dispute immediately as this does not take eight days. It only takes eight days if it is a non-payment offense. if he agrees not to take the item on your terms. This way you get your fees back and he is out of luck. The problem is if he states that he still wants the item, you are out of luck and have to wait for your payment or risk negative feedback.

Re: What would yo do?

Davis you hit the nail on the head. I am trying to sell it, to add to my collection.

Re: What would yo do?

Guys I choose to do a mutual cancelation of transaction. Rather then go through all the hassles of a full dispute claim. It was less then what I was hoping to sell the bat for and the buyer explained to me that he did not know I expected payment within 24 hours.
With that said anyone wanna buy a Jeter

Re: What would yo do?

I actually disagree. The worst thing for the eBay community was the potential for retaliatory negatives as a buyer. With the feedback the way it is now, buyers can actually be honest, making eBay a great venue.

Honest? I dont know about that because buyers can be scammers too. It wont be such a great venue when all the sellers leave because of all the changes being made that dont favor them one bit.

Re: What would yo do?

Honestly, I don't think it's that big of a deal. I have bought and sold high dollar items on eBay, and this experience is not unusual. Payment in 24 hrs? Give me a break! That is quite unreasonable. People have got lives; not everyone can sit by eBay all day and watch the minutes tick off of the clock. My advice to you is RELAX! A week is not an eternity. Give the guy a break; he has already offered to pay you the fees.
