I WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND HELP SELLERS ACROSS THE GLOBE NEW AND OLD TO EBAY ,

I HAVE HAD CERTAIN PROBLEMS IN THE PAST AND THOUGHT THAT A FEW TIPS MAY COME IN HANDY.

FIRST OF ALL HAVE A SET OF SCALES HANDY FOR WEIGHING ALL GOODS WHERE POSSIBLE

MAKE SURE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SHIP YOUR ITEM IN ,SO IF NECESSARY CAN ADD THE PACKING COSTS..

SEAL ALL JIFFY BAGS ,ENVELOPES AND PACKETS AS THEY CAN BE EASILY OPENED.

HAVE A POST OFFICE PRICE CALCULATOR/PRICE LIST HANDY ,SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR POSTING SHOULD BE.

TRY AND LIST WITHIN THE UK AND OVERSEAS TO HELP GIVE YOUR ITEM MORE VIEWERS/BUYERS.

OFFER A SERVICE FOR THE UK WITH STANDARD ,1st CLASS AND RECORDED ,

OVERSEAS MAINLY AIRMAIL UNLESS IT IS HEAVY OR BULKY..

OVERSEAS BUYERS CAN DO THE SAME IN YOUR COUNTRY ,ALTHOUGH THERE MIGHT BE SLIGHT DIFFERENCES .

MAKE SURE IN YOUR LISTINGS THAT YOUR ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR POST LOST OR BROKEN OVERSEAS UNLESS YOU HAVE OPTIONAL INSURANCE .

AGAIN OFFER THIS SERVICE ,COST IS QUITE CHEAP ,I MYSELF WILL PAY FOR THIS IF MY ITEM (S) SELLS REALLY WELL AND GET A GOOD PRICE.

IT IS LIKE A THANK YOU GIFT.

ALSO IT HELPS IF THE BUYER DOES NOT TAKE IT ,

YOU YOURSELF CAN CLAIM FOR THE LOST/BROKEN  ITEMS...  

WITHIN THE UK ,MOST ITEMS HAVE COVER WITH RECORDED DELIVERY,YOU CAN UPGRADE...WITH SPECIAL DELIVERY.AT LEAST THEY ARE SIGNED FOR ON DELIVERY

AGAIN MOST STANDARD PARCELS AND FIRST CLASS IS NOT A GUARENTEE OF DELIVERY,THEY CAN BE LEFT ON DOORSTEPS ETC..

TRY AND EMAIL ALL BUYERS WHEN YOU WILL POST AND ANY TRACKING NUMBERS YOU HAVE.

ASK THEM ALSO TO LEAVE FEEDBACK FIRST ON ARRIVAL OF THERE ITEMS TO MAKE SURE IT HAS /THEY HAVE ARRIVED SAFELY.

MANY BUYERS HAVE LEFT FEEDBACK FIRST IN GOOD JUDGEMENTAL FAITH ONLY TO HAVE A SURPRISE AND SAY ITEM NOT ARRIVED..

I HAVE MYSELF BEEN BLACK MAILED REGARDS THIS..BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KEEP ALL POSTING RECEIPTS WITH A COPY OF THE BUYERS TRANSACTION..

I HAVE SHIPPED ALL OVER THE WORLD SUCCESSFULLY AND LEARN`T  A GREAT DEAL ,

MY NEGATIVES HAVE COME FROM BLACKMAILERS REPORTED TO EBAY AND NON-PAYERS..

WITH NON PAYERS : GO THROUGH THE DISPUTE FIRST AND THEN BLOCK THEM IF THEY DO NOT PAY.

BE VERY CAREFUL ,ANY NON-BUYERS OR PAYERS WHO WIN ANY OF YOUR ITEMS CAN STILL LEAVE YOU A NEGATIVE COMMENT, 

EBAY SHOULD BE ABUOT TRUST AND GOD COMMUNICATION ,SO BEFORE LETTING RIP WITH YOUR BUYERS ,TALK /EMAIL THEM FIRST AND TRY TO ALOW YOUR LISTING ABOUT 7 DAYS GRACE FOR PAYMENT..
