Thread: Using Ebay

Good morning all,

Just a few questions. I have recently purchased some vintage razors that I have been cleaning and sharpening and am getting ready to sell them. I am going to use ebay and I am wondering if I need to set up a separate Pay Pal account or can I use my credit card? I have been using my credit card number to purchase razors and the like but I am wondering if when selling razors if it will credit my credit card?

Does this make sense?

Thanks

Buyers like it simple, my advice would be to hook up paypal , 1 click and then there done Paid for, if you would like any further advice feel free to contact me, Good Luck,ty

No it won't credit your card. You are using pay pal with your card to buy? If you have a pay pal account, it will put the money in that account. It will show up as a pay pal balance. you can then transfer the balance to another account such as a checking account. Hope this helps. Good luck.

That's a problem for all of us. Figure out what an item is worth to you and that's your price. Don't get caught up in a bidding war. Unless it's one I am selling. Lol.

I almost never get involved with auctions. Instead, I filter my searches to show 'Buy It Now' items only.

That's how you find deals. Knowing what you want and a price your willing to pay will get you your share.

This vis what I do, instead of rolling auctions over and over and over. Just start it at .99 cents and let it sell for what the market will bear. Clean descriptions and product fetch top dollar. IME...

Ebay.... How to do it....

If you are selling, and your item is pretty, put up detailed pictures. If you are selling and your item is a cheap low end item, or not so pretty, take all pictures from a distance, and be sure to hide the defects in the flares and reflections.

If you are buying, and you dont want to compete with other buyers, never post about it asking "so what do you guys think of this one?" because if we think "Thats a nice razor!" you just brought your own competition to the game.
ANd for gods sake, if you buy a dud, do NOT just toss it back up to resell and let it become somebody elses problem! If you burn it, or it simply wont take an edge, SAY SO.
All jokes aside, your not under an obligation to HIGHLIGHT a flaw, but you really should try to be honest. Your feedback rating becomes a precious commodity, so protect it from bad sales that can ruin you.
