eBay My World: radiorick55( 201)

Enjoyed modest success on eBay for a number of years until a couple of years ago when I was disabled in an accident. Due to the surgeries and the healing period, eBay became a memory. I'm back now and usually really enjoy the eBay experience.

I will, without hesitation, leave negative feedback for any seller who sells me a steaming pile of dog crap after promising in his or her listing that their item 'Works Great!' or is in 'perfect working order' when they know full well it isn't. These sellers should stick to yard sales. If you check my feedback you will find some negatives given back to me after I gave them to some dishonest sellers I have had to deal with including one in Germany who kept my $105 and sent me a box of junk instead of what I won. I wear these negatives with pride. Having said that, let me add that I do also do not hesitate to leave glowing feedback to honest sellers who spell out the condition of their items and then promptly ship. Doesn't it burn you that so many sellers demand that the buyer pay within 3 days -or- immediately in some cases yet they get around to shipping a week or three later? It does me. What is so hard about arranging your sale to end while you are home?

Paypal, money orders from US Banks or the Post Office and sometimes personal checks will be allowed - but they do slow down the shipping process.

I always use USPS as they have never failed me yet.

Any item I sell can be returned if it is not what you expected, period. The sale price will be refunded once the item is returned to me. All you will be out of is the shipping charges - same as if you bought something from Best Buy - you paid for the gas and time to go to the store and if you found it didn't meet your needs you will again expend your gas and time to return the item. I want happy customers.

Let's face it, Paypal's vaunted protection for buyers is basically nothing more than vaporware - most of the time it will be worthless to you, the buyer. I've had far more success in filing losses with the Post Office than with Paypal which tends to protect their sellers, especially since eBay has been losing sellers lately due to high fees and a tight economy.
