Any advice for a new seller?

I have sold on ebay before (years ago) but would like to start selling much more frequently. However, I have always had the fear of dishonest or bad buyers. How common are they in your experience?

 

I'm afraid one day of selling something expensive and then the seller lying and saying I shipped something else or it's damaged (if they broke it, not shipping) or plenty of other possible issues. 

 

I wish it was possible to sell to only well rated sellers (maybe it is?) but as far as I know I'm uncertain of that. I just don't want to sell some expensive item to a guy with 0 history/ratings who doesn't respond to messages at all I would be worried.

I have gotten some really nasty buyers. I am getting ready for my second evaluation as a new ebay seller.

Looks like your days of selling are over....drop shipping never turns out well as evidenced by your feedback and the new items you were selling. 
You should always sell what you have on hand and have control of inventory. With drop shipping you have no control. 

Not only that you've posted on an ancient thread that's 3 years old.
