where to sell?

khani47 · 17 Jun 2013 at 12:53

hello,.

im looking to sell 2 cards but wondering where is the best place to sell them? the auction site seems a good option, but does anyone else have any ideas where i can put them up for sale?

im looking to upgrade to GTX 770.

The MM (Members Market) is for members who have been here for 6 months and have a post count of 1000 or you could just use an auction site.

auction sites seem like the only option

as said , MM requires 1000 posts and 6 months , other forums also have similar time and posting limits . so that well known auction site or the national selling page (tree of the gum) would be your only option.

ofc , do stay around and join this lively community

btw what you selling?

The mm forums are good, but those auction site are better tbh. you'll get money for them there and also millions of people go on there everyday. The only down side is the damn fees. They can bite you in the ass :mad:

^^ a friend recently sold an electronic item for £392

in his PP was £379 - £13 in PP fee`s

on top he`ll be invoiced for £38 in final vale fee`s.

meaning he`ll get £332 (once the odd pence is rounded up) for selling the item - oh and deduct real shipping cost as well - so your likely looking at £322 in the end.

I think it's items over £300 that get nailed the most. If you keep it under £300 it's not as bad.

Their ok. You have no protection there though. If you send someone money and they screw you over...Your pretty much ******

Harlequin · 17 Jun 2013 at 14:05

Nonsense. I bought a 7970 from there and was scammed and it all got sorted within 2 weeks by paypal. Unless you're paying via some non protected method which is stupid anyway you'll be fine.

another quick tale - a friend bought a laptop from the bay , never got it. he complained to the seller and got ignored so opened a dispute....the seller provided a tracking number and ebay said ` that's ok then`... the tracking number was for the other end of the country.

so off my mate went to his bank and started a charge back and a complaint to the police against ebay and paypal for fraud.

so yes , your quite right

You would think so, but I've had 2 friends get screwed and paypal did nothing. They said it was their fault. so not always true what you think about paypal.

Sounds like a legit story, 2 friends screwed, no back story or anything. PayPal will always side with the buyer unless the seller can provide concrete proof the item has been delivered.

wtf? ok I'm not going to write out the whole story. naf

And no paypal doesn't always side with buyer.

Well yes, the story might paint a bigger picture than the usual bs of oh I know 2 people who got scammed. Seems legit.

They do if the seller can't provide evidence that the buyer received the item.

Gregster · 17 Jun 2013 at 14:17

Paypal does protect the buyer more than the seller.

I sold an A8 CD changer that worked perfectly and told the buyer all he needed to know about getting it to work. Paypay sided with him when he said it wouldn't work

on another forum:

a seller sold a motherboard - took time stamped photo`s of the board and serial , showed the board working in a video.

dispute opened against him as a faulty board - it was returned with 3 busted vrm`s. PP sided with buyer even after photo and video shown of working and functioning board (time and sate stamped)

Suarez7 · 17 Jun 2013 at 14:21

Exactly, those 2 stories above are all too common, they 99% of the time side with the buyer. It doesn't matter which auction site you use, people are still scammed on ebay.
