Did you know Ebay was started by a French bloke who wanted a way for his wife to sell a few items...........must be the most valuable site on the net.
I find Amazon has a great secondhand book section.

apples i've sold a couple of things on ebay but once someone bought something from me and then sent me an email saying they wanted their money back, i'd already left them positive feedback, in the end i gave a refund, should i have,
btw there was nothing wrong with the camera i sold it was a present i'd never used so was in new condition

I now never leave positive feedback until I've recieved it for an item. I had some bloke who scratched a brand new mobile I sold him demand compensation for the scratches. He left me bad feedback after I'd left him good - never again

They make on you 3 ways.
Listing fee, final value fee and if the payer pays by paypal they make a percentage there as Ebay owns paypal.
My bill for this last month alone is just over £300, not including paypal fees.
Still, that £300 is money well spent when I've worked out my profit

so what happens if someone wants a refund? should you give it to them if they have simply changed their minds, what is ebays policy on this,
your right about the costs, i got my bill in for £22 (not in your legue guys) but i'd only sold a couple of things, it was the final price deductions that put the bill up

apples are you telling porkies, i've just tried find members on ebay because i was curious what you and paul sold to get bills like that every month and the feedback for apples24 is -1 and paulboro12

Amazon?? That site is a rip off and a load of cack in my opinion!! Much cheaper sites for CD's and DVD's that also don't charge for postage..
Pricewise though I've found them to be ok. Recenty bought UNKLE's Never Neverland on triple LP for £17.99, Pink Floyd's Wall on CD for £9.99 and Jeff Buckley's Grace on CD for £6.99. Chart stuff is usually under £10 too so is way better than those robbing ***** HMV and Virgin.

I wont hide my ebay ID, its dansubaru
only 30 feedbacks so far and pulling in £100 profit per month, but I'll be selling loads more hand grenades after xmas if anyone is interested, they make great paperweights or postman scarer's if you fishing wire the pin to the garden gate, just watch him dive into the flower bed....

I owed E-bay £2.50 and continually got late payment e-mails, were talking 2 a day for at least 1 month, the ******* never gave up, I couldn't even block sender.
Needless to say I paid it just to stop my inbox filling up.
What do you blokes sell to incur a £500 bill each month
