"This is a scam!"
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?The book is full of useful information, but what irritated me most of all was the dogmatic assurance, over and over again that if a buyer or seller was located outside the USA or had anything at all out of the ordinary about their behaviour, "This is a scam!"
"No reputable buyer would live anywhere but America, exercise extreme caution with foreigners. Check feedback history ratings of Canadians with care." Well, I'm exaggerating a bit, but honestly, there could be any number of legitimate reasons why someone would sell a concert ticket or their late grandmother's jewellery, or whatever. Not everyone doing this "is definitely a scammer."
A paranoid American would love this book.
Okay, a lot of the advice is good, and both buyer and seller beware, but listen to the advice on details, check anything that looks suspicious, but do not accept the blanket dictum that somebody doing such and such "can only be a scammer."
I've been buying and selling on eBay for a long time, and while I have a lot of respect for eBay in doing their job in what is essentially a scammer's paradise, the biggest crooks I've found here have been Paypal. Arbitrary decisions, lack of understanding, limited appeal process. You get got by Paypal, you stay got.
Keep your eyes open, don't accept everything at face value, beware of anything that seems too good to be true, but there are amazing bargains to be had on eBay. I've had some excellent purchases at way below retail. And I've sold a bunch of things that didn't go for as much as I'd like.
Would you ever listen to anything by Michael Ford again?I'd take it with a grain of salt.
What three words best describe Jane Wells’s voice?Pleasant. Informal. Personality.
