Will all due respect, did you even read what I wrote? at the end, I said I would feel better getting verifications that this is fake rather than assuming since this was my first-time selling.
Funny how you guys advise for people to be careful, then when someone takes extra precaution, they’re met with rude words. $500 is a lot. I’m not stupid enough to fall for their scam, but I’d still rather be safe than sorry.
Some of you guys are the rudest people I‘ve ever dealt with. I understand what I did wrong, I don’t need people continuing to come after me, telling me everything I did wrong. All I wanted was for my questions to be answered, not criticized for everything.
I’m not talking about you specifically, 99.8% of the people on both threads have been rude and tried to justify it as “tough love”. And enough is enough, I’ve heard it once. I don’t need a million others telling me it over and over. All I wanted was for my questions to be answered.
It's sad that you think that 99.8% of the people here were rude to you.
In fact, I would say that 100% of the respondents were not rude at all, quite the contrary, they took the time to try and help you, even without a thank you!
When you ask questions, you are usually going to get the same or similar answers and advice repeated from many people over and over. When you hear about how new sellers with little feedback selling expensive products are a target for scammers, it's not criticism, it's a fact. You are a target. It's not a personal attack.
You are fodder for scammers playing on your selling inexperience. You are easier to fool with fake emails and other tricks because they know you are probably not wise to their scams and the ebay policies like experienced sellers. They are predators.
People don't think you are stupid; they know you are inexperienced. When you hear 20 times that you need to log in to your paypal account to see a payment, it's not rude, it's the answer. It's a common denominator,
And you will hear this same thing from a "million" different perspectives.
Would you rather just one person answer? What if they were wrong? Take the common denominators from all the advice and be thankful that others are looking out for you.
Because I see many people here trying to help you, including myself, with specific answers to your questions, based on their own experience, and I see all of your questions have been answered.
And you come out swinging?
The people who have tried to help do not want you to be scammed, they do not want you to lose $500.
So my "rude" advice to you; Sell cheap things for a while, it's actually fun! Stuff you want to get rid of, make a few bucks, learn the ropes, watch these boards.
Or not. I don't really care but I think you should sell stuff here. Just not $500 stuff; sell that locally.
You're welcome!
