They are trying and failing - my wife is a seller and easily 20-30% of completely valid positive reviews from repeat customers disappear without a trace.. at the same time a racist tyrade of a review from a buyer who has swastika as user avatar is impossible to get rid of ( 5 or 6 tries so far)
- ccozan 8y agoreading this, feels like ebay is a really nice place to sell stuff. They might have their own issues, but feels more authentic.
- educationdata 8y agoReally? I feel selling stuff on ebay has a 1/5 chance get scammed.
- manmal 8y agoI don’t know what categories you shop there, but I have never been scammed. Often make sure to contact the seller beforehand though.
- muzika 8y agoIt’s easy to get scammed SELLING on eBay. Buying is not much if a problem as you can get a refund easily as a buyer.
- astura 8y agoI've sold a couple hundred of items on eBay and I've never been scammed.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoI sell a huge amount of stuff on eBay (retro computing / gaming items) and have found it to be a really fantastic and friendly community. Perhaps it depends on the items being sold?
- rchaud 8y agoProbably. You are selling in a niche that scammers likely don't care about. If you were selling a Macbook or iPhone, there'd probably be a lot of shady buyers. I've bought a ton of stuff on Ebay, but only ever sold a laptop when I wasn't getting any bites on Craigslist. It was a limited-edition Dell laptop, so the buyer was really enthusiastic about it and you could tell he was a normal person and not a scammer. Fortunately I live in a big city now and have never had issues selling in person via CL/Kijiji.
