Remove Those Price Tags
It has been one of those weeks and weekends, every shop, auction and garage sale you have been to has had all the items you need and want, and for a change the prices have been well in your favour. At times the prices were almost zero. You were well within your weekly budget, and had money left over. A great week was had by all, and already you could see the profits rolling in, you could not loose. In fact even if the items went for a lot less you would still make a massive profit.
All went well, you took the photo’s, did that bit of research and wrote the listings and put everything online. And as you thought everything sold and some even sold for a lot more than you thought. With a smile you packaged everything up and the items were soon on the way. A few days passed and you received an email from a very, very unhappy customer. (did i say very ?). they almost came out the screen and hit you.
As the first few sentances began to sink in, you thought what have I done, then you read it. You had missed a price tag. A tag that said $0.50c………………………. you felt sick, oh how could I have missed it, I was sure I had taken it off. But you were an eBay pro. You opened up Paypal and hit the refund key and gave an instant refund. While you did it you hoped and prayed you had not missed any more. Then you sent them an eBay message, with a b ig sorry, and please lookout for the full refund of $100.00 .
Next day you have an email from them thanking you so much for being honest and they had sent a paypal of $75.00 for the item, and left great feedback.
Did this happen to me no not yet, it happened to a friend. She had pickd up a collectors doll for the $.50c and had put it on auction for $0.99c. She later found out from the ths buyer that it was quite rare thus the reason it went high. When my friend asked why they had sent money back to her. The buyer explained to start they were shocked and angry that they had just paid out all that money for something that had cost her only $0.50c. But when sarah (my friend) did the refund they knew they were dealing with a real eBayer, and they also knew that the doll was worth $75.00 and that they would not be able to buy it again. So all ended well.
The moral of this article is always remove the price tags if you buy stuff cheap and sell high.
