Ebay sellers.... lets help each other out.

[John Brown]

My biggest headache is people in other countrys that want me to understate the prices they paid for an item so they don't have to pay full import duties. That makes it impossible for me to insure the item for it's real worth. Had one guy put in an ebay claim that the item was not as described because I wouldn't play his game. Ended up eating the $60.00 shipping to settle the deal instead of having to take the item back and sell it all over again. I'm really close to not shipping out of country, but people in Sweden, Norway, France and Australia are really great bidders and love to buy and pay big bucks for American oe performance parts. I'm really torn.....

The next problem I have is timely delivery inside the USA, but that is out of my control once the item is shipped. I have had items get to England in three days, but then I have had other items take ten days to go the hundred and ten miles to the west side of Chicago. If it wasn't so much fun and so profitable, I'd give it up.

Luckily some of the biggest scam sellers (you instantly recognize them when you see them bid) that scare me when I sell an item, have been some of my least problems.
