Message:: [QUOTE="mlov43, post: 26432149, member: 16729"]If I was your seller, I would just refund you, even if USPS said it was delivered.  All I would really do FIRST is to check your feedback and see how much business you've done and how many times people complained that you ripped them off or you messed with images or whatever.  If you have a high buy and sell profile with few if no people complaining, then I'd just refund you the measly $30 or split it with you ($15), if I my bowels were acting up that day.  But that's just me. Well, there is another option:  You could still list on eBay, but list every item with a gigantic initial bid or BIN price.  Essentially, what you are doing is using eBay as an advertising platform, not for sales.  However, this can really only work if you operate an online website or sales sites outside of eBay which has a "store name" that is the same name as your eBay seller handle.  I It works like this: People see your item (with a market value of let's say, $100) but it's listed for $1,000.  That signals for *smart* people to google your eBay handle, and your online website or sales sites outside of eBay shows up at the top of the search results (esp. if it's a very unique name).  And that's where they see the same item for sale at it's actual price ($100) and they make the purchase there.  It's not as "secure" (so-called) as eBay as there are not eBay "protections," but if you and the buyer are cool with it, you can make the sale there.  Maybe you don't even have the item listed at your website; you just make sure your email address is displayed there.  From what I can tell, there is nothing against eBay policy in any of this.[/QUOTE]
