Selling Amigas - best place?
What is the best place to sell Amigas etc? eBay? But what about cost of postage?

Times have changed....
You no longer need to have a PayPal account to sell on eBay. do you need to have a paypal account to sell on ebay? |

eBay holds the money. You ship and if everything is okay, they release and transfer you the money after a period, depending on your account status (age, rating, etc...).

Exactly. That would be an absolute no for me.

What does it mean "if everything is ok"? After the buyer says so? (I haven't used ebay in quite a few years so I'm curious).

Last year I bought on eBay a Sega Saturn from Italy. It doesn't came in two months, so I asked the seller where it is. He wasn't able to track and I missed the 40 days dispute period, so I wasn't able to raise dispute/ask for refund. Hopefully the parcel came in a week after. I asked the post why so slow, and they answered the parcel actually came pretty fast for the Italian posts. Having this in mind for the next parcel from Italy, I ordered local freight transport company to pick it up from address and it came in only two weeks. |

The thing with eBay, is a lot depends on your performance when it comes to selling & them releasing the funds you have acquired for selling through them. My point towards eBay was that a PayPal account is no longer needed. Just add a Debit card or other permissible card type to your eBay account & you're good to go. (if you want to get fux0rd with extortionate charges of course) & they know it! They recently jumped on Vinted's band waggon by not making charges for clothes transactions! |

Update on my eBay experiences:
You can get scammed there not only by buyers, but by eBay itself. They made me the scheduled monthly payment some days ago, only to block my account and my last month earnings the very next day. Now they ask me to provide them with invoices and receipts for ALL the items that I've sold and have listed. This will take me weeks or even months to find all the documents and receipts. I've tried by sending them some bank statements and receipts for the easy to acquire, but they said it's not enough. The want receipts for ALL! Of course I still can buy items (so they can earn theirs commission) and even had a sale (don't know how it happened if my account is restricted and funds blocked), which got cancelled by the buyer (fortunately). I opened a ticked asking if I shall kiss my money goodbye, to which they didn't answer. Not sure what will happen with the blocked funds. I've read that they will release them in 6 months, other posts say they transfer the money to the federal reserve. Whatever, people shall be careful selling there. |
