It's nearly impossible for a seller to win a "not as described" PayPal dispute. Get the phone back and return their money. At least then you can resell it and move on. It's infuriating, but PayPal doesn't really have a fair dispute process that collects evidence from both sides and then makes a...

This is really helpful. Thanks for sharing!

I don't think any account is "suspend-proof" but I definitely think they give a lot more leeway to aged accounts. I think the key to not getting suspended is to not sell too much of anything on one account. Create multiple accounts and sell one or two items on each account. I think a majority of...

I am sure they finally figured out that people were abusing it and making money off them (versus them making money off of everybody else) and they didn't like it...LOL. I could never understand why they didn't take the money back before. It didn't really make sense.

I like the idea of ordering through an escrow service. Everyone is protected that way, and there is no risk. Too many shady people out there!

Very interested in how this experiment is going to turn out. The movement seems impressive so far. Hopefully it continues to move upwards and stays there permanently. Thanks for keeping us updated!

It's nice to see that people defend the "mom's" out there, but it's pretty obvious he isn't degrading his mom, just sharing a funny! I have my mom trained, so whenever she needs computer assistance she immediately moves out of the way so I can do my thing. She knows she isn't computer savvy and...

So sorry you, your mom, and your family are having to go through this. There really isn't much one can say in a time like this, but know that you do have a lot of people praying for you right now.

You don't have to pay upfront to list on eBay, they will invoice you once a month and then they automatically take the money from your PayPal account (at least that is how my payment is set up). The invoice will include listing fees and fees if your item sells.

Sorry to hear this happened to you. eBay is definitely a dictatorship - they will cancel your auctions at a whim and they don't give you an opportunity to counter their reasoning at all. One person reports you and that's that. One of the things that I have found helpful is that by building up...

This thread has been very helpful for me as a noob. I am trying to wrap my head around all of this SEO stuff and I can't thank you enough for sharing your process. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

From my experience, even if they file a dispute with PayPal for the item being defective they will have to provide proof of delivery in order to receive their money back. Do you have proof of delivery for the item being delivered to them (preferably with a signature required)? This will cover...

Thank you for such a helpful post. I am trying to wrap my brain around all of this SEO stuff and this has been really helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with those of us just starting out!
