I hate selling on eBay.....

[PaPaD]

(Rant on)

They charge too much for a selling fee. PayPal takes a commission too. Then a month later eBay bills you for their commission. Then when the punk ass little kid that lives in his mommy's basement decides to return 35 year old clubs (that he wanted so bad he contacted me personally outside the auction) because one of the shafts had some pitting on it, eBay allows it even tho i do not accept returns. I may delete my account and just use SWMBO'S account to buy.

Easy! Us old guys shouldn't get our blood pressure up over some punk kid being an entitled brat. I'll have my daughter give you a call. She has about lost it over an adult... an adult that should know better... acting like a spoiled brat at Vacation Bible School this week. And, it's a church employee. She almost walked out last night, leaving them with 100+ kids to deal with on their own. She experienced the same imbecile last year and swore she would not do VBS again. But, the Pastor talked her into it. If she survives a couple more nights... she may moon them on her way out the door. That would probably be a more mature move than she's been dealing with!!!

papaD- There is no way your ho a55 could do without the Bay! You do not want SWMBO all up in your shizznit. Chill the fvck out.

limpy- Tell your daughter to call that trick a55 puppy out! The only reason she is trying that fru fru lame bull5hit is it is at VBS. Churches are full of people that tolerate those few that are lame ass byotches.

Rant off

What set did you sell to him? I have an ebay account, but do not have the time to sell.

Lucky man. It can be a pain. Seriously, tho, I have had MANY successful sales. 99% are just fine. My feedback profile is 100% positive as a buyer and seller. It's just when these little picky picky buyers show up that gets me spun up.......and I'm generally a happy old fart. I can close my seller account and still be able to buy. Good option.

Sold a set of Eye 2+ irons in GREAT shape. The 6 iron shaft had a few pits on it and was shown in the pictures. He's claiming I sold him a defective product. You don't get perfect when you buy 25 year old golf clubs.

Agreed!

I don't bother selling on Ebay for exactly those reasons. Ebay is too heavy handed and is so far in favor of the buyer it's ridiculous. Not to mention the fees make it almost impossible to make any money at all.

I roll with craigslist and keep my 45 handy. If I can't sell it there I just don't bother selling it. I'll donate and write it off.

I've never had a dispute with a buyer, knock on wood, but I always take photos of the packing process. Just in case the buyer pulls one of those types of stunts.

I knew this guy was trouble. He starts by messaging me outside the auction trying to work a deal. The words "I want to buy your clubs" were the openers. We cut a deal, I alter the BIN price and he pays promptly (after sending three messages asking me if had changed the price yet, and then to tell me he had payed me - all these in the course of about 3 minutes). Dude is foaming at the mouth to buy these clubs. I ship them the next day, after getting a message asking me when I am going to ship. I post the tracking number AND message the tracking number to him. Next day he messages me saying that the tracking number is valid but doesn't show any movement. Talk about impatient. They arrive in 2 days and according to the records, he messages me within minutes of delivery telling me they are defective and he is returning them. When I tell him I do not accept returns (as stated in the ad) he rants me in a message saying he's going to fight me tooth and nail to prove I am unworthy as a seller and that he would send these pathetic clubs back if I GAVE them to him. Sigh - I am dealing with some kid who has issues. I approve the return, PAY for the fukking return shipping. The minute he ships them, he messages me telling me that he shipped them. They arrived yesterday. Minutes later I get a message from him telling me that they have arrived and I should issue his refund now. By eBay rules, I have 10 days to refund him and by God, I am waiting until fukking midnight on the 10th day to give this anal retentive nut-job his money back. I sent his rant message to eBay in a Report a Buyer function and blocked him from ever dealing with me again. I have moved lots of stuff on eBay, but you have to deal with every nut out there and eBay ALWAYS supports the buyer. I closed my seller account. I can still buy.

Damn papaD. I still had some stuff to unload. Oh well. I guess I am stuck selling it to you.

Pretty much the same here, I have sold and bought a lot of stuff via Craigslist, everything from snowmobiles and motorcycles to refrigerators and bows. You just need to deal with the bottom feeding cockwaffles who want to trade you the rearend from a 79 TransAm for your crap. Or the ones who want to jew you down from your $20 asking price, screw you buddy, I will toss it in the garbage before I lower the price anymore.

Craigslist, PIAS. I'm too old to deal with these humans.

 

[subsonic]

PIAS can be a pain to. They want to give you absolutely nothing for your clubs and the one in Freddyburg is like buying off e bay.
