Hey, it's another Ebay thread by a disgruntled seller

[quote name='SaraAB']It helps if you do not list anything as "like new" because ebay's description of like new is basically an item that does not have any marks or scratches on it. A buyer can hit you if a game case has marks or scratches on it if you list an item in like new condition. As we all know its virtually impossible to deliver a "like new" game or dvd according to ebay's description because when you buy games from a store there is usually a dent or 2 in the case especially if you are purchasing off gamestop's shelves where they leave game cases out. Just use one of the other descriptions, you won't lose any money on the auction for listing a game or dvd as "good" or "very good".[/QUOTE]

I rarely list a game as like new because of that. Even if a game is complete I list it as very good or good depending on the condition of the case even if the disc is scratch free (I'll use like new if the case has no damage and the disc is mint). I am probably more overcautious than I need to be though because I don't want any problems.

I am really overcautious too, when ordering I have had some games described as acceptable come in like new condition. You can always list a game as good or very good and then describe the game in the description.
 
[quote name='salty tbone']I guess I'm lucky that no one has tried to play games with me yet, but I'm frustrated that no buyers ever bother to leave me feedback. I send out everything within a day, well packaged, etc., and still only get feedback from one out of every six buyers.

Makes me think "Why bother?" Just wait a week like most sellers I buy from, make the same lame excuse such as "Sorry, dude, I had a bunch of classes. I'll definitely send your package this weekend." Not like I'd lose out on feedback, though then they'd probably take the effort to leave it.[/QUOTE]

On the other hand, I find that sellers forget to leave me feedback. I haven't recieved feedback for 3-4 purchases. I don't use eBay all the time so it would be nice to bulk up my feedback when I do.
