grrrrrr flippin ebay!!
sorry for o/t thread, u guys seem to be in the know when it comes to ebay related topics!
i've been trying to sell my camcorder/digi camera on ebay for the past 2 weeks now as i am so broke and for the THIRD time have had feckin' scammers asking me to ship to Nigeria when i have stated UK only ARRGGHHH!!!!
:mad: :mad: :mad:
I then get bombarded with emails asking me to ship the item to a different address and then they suddenly beome unregistered overnight and i have to relist my item all over again.
this is really started to p*** me off, is there anyway i can block these people that register the day before with zero feedback?
i really need the cash right now and can see similar items being sold successfully without all this palava :(
or if anyone wants a new camcorder then please take it off my hands so i can spend it all on clothes!!! :p
Answers:
You can block bidders with zero feedback, but selling electrical stuff like camcorders and mobile phones do attract a lot of scammers.
Could you list it in your local paper?
Answers:
I find if you don't put a buy it now price on it stops a lot of scammers.
If you go to 'My ebay' and then down the left hand side under 'my account' you will see 'Preferences' you can change your buyer requirements there.
Even if you block bidders outside the UK they still end up registering with a pretend UK address and then bidding:rolleyes:
Answers:
You could set up a pre-approved bidders list, where everyone has to email you first before being allowed to bid.
