Hi,

I’m a fairly regular visitor (& participant) at this forum. And, yes, I had previously been

only minimally aware of the issues you have described. Believe me, I absolutely understand the frustrations faced.

I simply felt that there was unnecessary snippiness in this usually friendly and helpful forum.

(not just in this thread, but elsewhere as well). It surprised me. I meant no harm, & certainly 

didn't want to get people all riled up!

No doubt about it, you all deserve a metal for all the time and knowledge shared.

I surely appreciate this forum and all who make it a positive and valuable experience.

Thank-you

You could, but start with low price items say under 20.00.  As a new seller, you will attract a lot of scammers if you try to sell high value items.  I suggest you make a purchase or two to learn how things work first.

It's all good Anjie...The problem is that we never know if the Op is serious or not.  Or if they're posting just to be relevant.  That's not why people should come here.  Most of these SL members have had their accounts suspended and just keep signing with new accounts, asking the same, monotonous, nonsensical questions.  Some of us have actually take the time to help them privately.  Some do ok.  Most fail because they refuse to take the advice and knowledge of experienced sellers.  Many break ebay policies as well as customs.  We actually had a seller here that was selling Marijuana...no kidding.  Needless to say they're not around anymore.  

You have people selling things like cow dung. Scooping it up in their backyards, putting into zip lock bags and trying to sell it internationally.  And you wonder why we have epidemics and pandemics...here's your proof.  Our voices and suggestions are almost never heard and it gets tiresome. 

Just wanted to explain to you why it's important to be proactive, but firm because telling people what they want to hear just doesn't work.

You have a great day and Happy Selling!

Caffeine and anger!  Lol

I'm so glad we're good!  

As for  ... 'did you help' ...  Maybe not in this case (since they went MIA).

{{{I see what'cha mean.}}}

Just remember that your overall return on investment is a strong positive!

Thank-you!  ... and have a good one!

Hi @Anonymous 

I'm assuming you're asking about the importance of having feedbacks from/for buying ... and NOT that you wanted to 'buy feedbacks'.

It would be helpful to have a Feedback Score greater than zero when listing items for sale.  Not every buyer will look to see whether the feedbacks were from buying or selling.  They will just see a number greater than zero.

Best of luck in selling!

I would purchase several cheap items from sellers whose feedback profiles show that they leave more feedbacks than they receive.  That way you'll be sure of receiving feedback after leaving it.

Good luck in selling!
