I apologize if this has already been asked /answered (I at least looked through a few pages before posting this), but I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I find the price for CoD: WaW (http://$$$$$$$/bMT4Jd) at $22.75 for Excellent condition, but when I go to list the game for sale (http://$$$$$$$/bGckWW), the maximum I can list the game for is $11.75 (says market price is $9.50).

I have one hypothesis: Is this because someone had listed the game at that price a while back and just hasn't sold it yet? What do you think? Thanks in advance for any help!

I'll give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume the item has been delivered. However, unless the buyer acknowledges receipt and condition, I don't get my money. In cases where the item is presumed lost by the USPS, buyer and seller split the cost. Nice deal for the buyer if you ask me. So a word of warning. There is little protection, unlike eBay and others, if a deal goes south.

hey atleast you get something back, on ebay they can claim not recieved and yet still get it and you are screwed.

That's why you should always provide tracking.

Just awhile back I sold someone a sealed copy of FFXIII (PS3) and they said they didn't receive it. Well surprise, surprise, the tracking info said the item was delivered. The person opened a PayPal dispute against me as well so I just submitted my proof of shipping/delivery and their dispute was closed. Pretty hard to pull a fast one on people when you leave little wiggle room. Another way to curb this kind of thing is making it so they have to sign for it - "electronic signature"? - that way it's almost full-proof; there is literally no way they can rip you off then. The latter option is ideal if you have sold something worth quite a bit, and trust me, it's worth the "trouble"; I've had at least 3 people try to scam me with that whole "I didn't get it" line, only for me to pimp-slap them back to planet Earth with my proof.

I just ordered Dragon Quest V in excellent condition for $27.30 after using glyde2. Seems like a really nice web site and the prices don't seem bad at all comparing them to ebay prices for the same games.

I hope all goes well with my first glyde transaction!

wooo sold

imagine teacher for little over 15 shipped

this will be my 3rd game sold


Will probally allow the 15 to stay there and use it to buy stuff (unless i sell something else)

totals under 30 isnt worth taking out

Sold GoW3 for $32.95 after mailer cost/fees

Its "okay" for the seller. 10% and 1.25 for the mailer market range i guess. The key is they tell you how much YOUR game/s are worth. Well maybe worth to them but MY games are worth more to ME then what they say (sometimes) are worth. I had some really good examples but forgot and i dont feel like researching it. I know they will say well thats "market value". I guess it would be better if there was more of a price range gap i guess. I just like to price MY games anything lower i will keep it.

Got my suikoden tierkreis today which happened to be the est. arrival date. It's in excellent condition as specified so I'm quite happy.

I Placed about 5 orders last week on cheap xbox games that i never got around to playing and still haven't heard anything about them being shipped out or anything. Good thing i'm not in a huge hurry to receive the games...

i didn't click on your link, but from my experience selling on there, as their 'market value' goes down, the highest possible listing price allowed by them goes down as well. For those who listed games eons before you, when they listed their game, the market price was higher, allowing them to list at a higher price that what you could now.

Glyde has been buggin me to lower the prices on some of my games, but since i have the only game on there, i don't want to change my price... and if i do change my price, i wouldn't be able to put them back at the price i have now... this is how i know all this...

be nice if buyers could make offers

Not always. If the person files a chargeback directly through their credit card company instead of Paypal, you the seller will ALWAYS lose. PayPal will never dispute a charge against a credit card company even if you have all of the proof in the world. I experienced this personally, I had tracking proof, signatures, email correspondences with the buyer verifying both his identity and address, pictures of items during packing process, verified/confirmed delivery addresses. His delivery address matched the address associated with his work email address, I googled the guys name and company found him on their website and the company address, he was a VP of something. Pretty slam dunk case imo. Three months later Paypal said there was insufficient evidence to dispute the claim. In the end PayPal tried to take $1000 out of my bank account to put my PayPal account back at a positive standing aka. $0 instead of -$1000. I stopped dealing with eBay/PayPal after that point. I had over 400 Positive Stars, the guy I was selling to had over 3000 Positive Stars both verified and confirmed addresses. I later found out that this guy had been doing this to other people and getting away with it and he account was still active purchasing large ticket items.

It's completely up to the buyer to acknowledge receipt but they're given a certain window, after a couple days after the item has been delivered it will automatically acknowledge the sale on the buyers behalf and send you money. The packages have tracking on them, so once it's delivered it will countdown the days for the person to acknowledge delivery. I've sold about 6 games this way and most people do not acknowledge delivery immediately upon receiving item.

I just ordered Red Dead Redemption for $43.00, ETA the 24th. and just sold 7 games as well.

Ordered something on the 8th. ETA says the 19th. Was hoping to get it sooner, starting to get a little nervous.

so i took a game to the post office today and was told by the worker there


THEY DONT HAVE TO SCAN THE GAME IF I DONT PAY TO SHIP IT

and tossed it on a back shelf..


game still has no tracking info even though i dropped it off at 10am... should i be worried ???

I wouldn't worry they typically get scanned after the pickup from the local office and at the distribution center. That usually happens the night you mail (for me it's usually around midnight), or the night after.

Every glyde game/stuff I've sold on ebay using paypal shipipng gets updated like that. The exception is when I actually wait in line for the postal worker and buy postage, they scan it there and you have an instant update.

I'm glad that my post office has a sort of drive through, so you can just put everything in, in like a few seconds. It works great with me since nothing has gone wrong with any of the 30+ games i've sold. Lol
