Avoid Selling Problematic Items

[blue.bird-official]

I'm posting this because I got an detailed answer for my recent post " Problematics Items" from a community member. Hope this will be helpful for others also. 

There are plenty of unscrupulous and dishonest people waiting to pounce on new eBay sellers. Protect yourself and don't fall victim to their scams. The best way to avoid getting scammed is to stay away from high-risk items.

These include:

• iPhones and smartphones
• Designer handbags
• High-end designer clothing and shoes
• Electronics
• Anything with multiple parts or components that could be removed, and the item returned
• Autographed items without COA
• Event tickets
• Commonly counterfeited items including designer handbags, designer sunglasses, expensive designer jeans, Nike shoes, Ugg boots, Otter Boxes, high-end cosmetics.

It is best to establish yourself as a seller first before trying to sell any of these items. Also, if you sell a designer item on eBay and it is a fake (such as a handbag or other designer clothing item) you can be suspended on the first instance.

Thank You!

...may I add few more things as high-end eau de parfum (example: Chanel), gift cards, jewelry...

Precious metal jewelry at least.  Or higher end designer.  Or worse both;  Tiffany was faked left and right at last report.  I have 17 years in as a seller and I won't sell Tiffany.  Safer to take it to a pawn shop and turn it into their problem.  (and if it's fake, bin it and save yourself some grief).
