As a seller on ebay,make sure you do not mail out the item until you have been paid. Do not accept checks ! paypal or money orders only. learn the shipping costs and get a scale. have fun!

The dangers are after shipping an item that someone paid for with Paypal, they come back, do a chargeback, and most of the time Paypal sides with the buyer and not the seller even though you've shown proof of delivery. After that Paypal takes the money out of your account, gives it back to the person ands they get your merchandise AND the money back!
The other danger is that if Paypal thinks you're someone other than yourself or for any other reason, they can lock your account and keep all your cash in limbo for months on end. All the while you can't send or receive payments causing a MAJOR loss of business!
Ebay owns Paypal.
Overstock can disable your account without warning if you even make one mistake and once they do it's not negotiable. Then they continue to bill you for fees.
If you're going to sell online, get a merchant account with cardservices and accept credit cards. Less hassle, less fraud and people tend to pay quicker.
Another danger. Nigerian scams (and other countries) They claim they want all your goods, send you a counterfeit money order (usually for more than what the items cost) Have you send the goods plus the overpayment to them then a few weeks later the money order bounces and you're in hot water.

Actually there is not really big a danger compared to the money you can make ,its pretty protected in fact I have a favor to ask you. It involves the web site eBay.com,
and requires a bit of work on your part.
However, the payoff for you could be absolutely HUGE! Let me
explain...
I've just been talking to my friend Derek Gehl, the CEO of the
Internet Marketing Center (he's the guy who's been responsible
for bringing in over $54,700,000.00 in online sales).
It seems he recently teamed up with a fellow by the name of
Brandon Dupsky, who made $22,000 a DAY selling
'everyday' stuff on eBay.
Together, they've come up with an easy-to-follow system that
will let anyone copy Brandon's strategies and start making
serious cash on eBay almost immediately!
Anyway, here's where the 'favor' part comes in...
I'm consider partnering with Derek and Brandon -- but before I
team up with them, I want to be absolutely SURE their new
eBay system will work for my customers and subscribers.
So if making a LOT of money (at least $100,000+ in your first
year) is something that sounds interesting to you, I'll have
Derek send you a risk-free "review copy" of their system and
you can give it a try!
Hopefully, you'll be up and running and making BIG profits on
eBay in the next month or so, and will let me know...
If not, no big deal... Just send it back and it won't have
cost you anything.
Sound interesting? You can give it a try by going to:

All the best,

P.S. I should mention, by the way, that this "system" has
nothing to do with selling junk from around your house or
scrounging stuff from flea markets and reselling it on eBay.

Hurt feelings.
Bitter taste of being taken advantage of and\or stolen from.
Charge backs. "The customer is always right" has actually saved me.
But the dangers of (buying too) ebay selling are steel rooted. Lots of losses. And you can't sell out at a penny.
Try amazon. Your own garage Sale. Etsy.... problems there too. I paid them off and got out immediately.

I m an ebay supplier and the following i'll inform you this. certain! there are alot of scammers accessible telling you they prefer to purchase this merchandise from you for a really intense cost. they'll say deliver to this handle first and they'll cord funds to you with WesterUnion. in simple terms "stupid" supplier ought to even reaction to this. Why ought to I deliver you something that i did not receive the fee. 2d, there are hacker that hack into human beings ebay account and bid on the item. interior of minutes after the ending, Ebay will deliver you an digital mail say that that's a hack account and they'll refund all of your fee. it truly is for those person that log onto scammed digital mail telling them that their account is hacked and punched of their username/PW. do not attempt this. So once you promote on ebay.. in basic terms pay attention of those 2 issues. very last, in case you bought an merchandise and someone favor to pay paypal. make sensible that their account is "shown". shown that signifies that their mastercard or monetary corporation account is suitable to the handle of paypal. it truly is the most safeguard thanks to known funds. the rationalization been is that a purchase ought to tell paypal that they did not receive the item because you probably did not deliver them something. So make sensible the handle and account is shown. I in simple terms promote to human beings which have sensible comments. desire this help you. have a useful day.

there are a lot of inherent dangers with anything like that. as the seller, you are entitled to payment first. never agree to send the item first. secondly, make sure that you protect yourself from fraud. state in plain english in your description whether or not you offer refunds or whether all sales are final. there arent so much dangers in selling as in buying, so i wouldnt sweat it too much. its also a good idea if your new to it, that your buyers have a minimum feedback rating. a lot of people with no feedback just go on there to screw with people. theyll win your item and never pay and just delete their account. id say like, only buyers with +5 and above can bid. i have +300 feedback, have sold a lot of stuff, and this is the stuff i always keep in mind. good luck. if u got ne questions, lemme know. good luck ;)

Make sure you describe everything about the item and not leave anything out. Communicate with the buyer frequently and constantly keep them up to date when you posted etc.
