hey guys...I'm needin' some moolah to save up for a car (!!) at some point, so I'm thinking about jumping into the laundro/ebay stuff...auctioning, putting up my sale list, etc.But I'm a little worried, I've never done this before! How have your experiences been? I guess I can't really lose too much since people usually send payment/trade first, right? But still, I'm skeptical. Any hints/advice/personal stories? This sounds like fun, I just want to make sure  Thanks!! IP: Logged |

hi! welcome! definatly go for it! it's really fun! i used to get lots of fake bidders on my auctions, but that's gotten a lot better now! other than that i've only had one problem with someone whos not a user any more (i dont think). i sent her a shirt first and it took her 3 months to send the money, but it eventually got here. thats all the problems ive had (and ive done alot of transactions)! yeah, well i say you should start selling stuff on here & ebay! its great!------------------

yes, they do send you payment first. don't ever send the item until you get payment, unless it's a trade. then you can both send at the same time, or whoever has the better feedback gets the stuff first.it's a pain to keep up with; i keep little records of everything since i usually do a lot at once and have a bad memory. but doing a thing at a time helps cut down on confusion i think. especially on the po runs. i like to mail the day or next day after i get the money so it sucks if you get money a few days a part. it's rockin to help get rid of stuff and get money too. it's definately addicting as hell! ------------------
what's to gain in my selfishness? what will i promote and what will be pushed back? my strength must rise. hope come forward.

well, i've only ran into one bad experience... she claims she's sent the item already, but i'm getting stuff from people that i paid for, and i even paid for them later. i'm not a happy camper.  but other than that... things have been generally good... and addicting! IP: Logged |

I've only had my money stolen once. Which is actually pretty good since I've been doing this for 2 years. Sadly, it was supposed to be a "sweet" user from Laundro.Other than that, it's all been peaches and cream aside from the fraud bidders. ------------------
