I've got another selling noob question about Paypal...

mightbe · 07-31-2008, 06:36 PM

Ok, I wish to start dumping some stuff on ebay. My paypal account is only linked to a debit card. I did the upgrade to a Premier account to accept more than $500 a month. However, how important is it that I'm a "verified" account as well? I would prefer not to link the paypal account to a bank account if I don't have to (although I realize linking a debit card is practically the same as it goes to a checking account).

Verified is important I believe, I think I am...I also have my paypal account linked up to my bank account which then transfers over to my debit card...usually takes 3-4 days for $ to hit

CaptainBOHICA · 07-31-2008, 06:46 PM

being confirmed is even better.

Of course now I'm trying to do it and they're experiencing "technical difficulties"...very encouraging

Yes, confirmed is the way to be. If you look on Ebay, some sellers have disclaimers that they wont sell to you unless you are confirmed.

Lol, I thought he was just being the "RESIDENT A-HOLE"

What's "confirmed? You mean shipping/address wise?

Geeze, he gets a little reputation and it never goes away!

Yes it's shipping/address wise.

last time i ever try to help lol

Lol

Well, I went and put two things up. I must just be retarded, but it took me forever...like how to handle shipping, insurance, etc. Like it took me a while to figure out how to display the option to ship internationally. Are there any more user friendly, quicker options for posting en masse?

VIVA LA TURBO LISTER!!

It is a piece of software you download on your PC. All the kewl kidz are using it!

pskell02 · 08-01-2008, 09:34 AM

Yea, go with Turbo Lister. It makes life a whole lot easier when you have to list a bunch of stuff.

Put your ebay name in your profile bar so we can all get to your auctions.

and before you ask........ hit the help button in eBay.... type in "download Turbo Lister"..... then click the 2nd or 3rd link down...... on that page there will be a link to the TL download page......click it....... then clickl download..... save it anywhere you like......after download is complete, go to where it is saved..... double click SetUp..... and you're on your way.

Use turbo lister. Use photobucket.

What you do is create a template in TL. Then export it to a CSV file. Then copy as many lines as items you are going to load. Do as much of the work as you can outside TL since it is painfully slow. When you are done, upload it.

"double click"??? I don't think I have that button anywhere...

Ha, yeah I was able to find it all by myself like a big boy...soon I'll be using the potty all by myself!

Well, now a new "problem" I noticed. Paypal protection is only at $200 for the buyer because I only have a handful of feedback for purchases I made. I have a number of cards that will easily go for more than $200.

What does everyone think? Would that scare you off from bidding? Does it seem shady that I'm trying to sell such high dollar items right off the bat with my first auctions?

go_steelers07 · 08-02-2008, 11:15 AM

low feedback for high dollar items does make buyers think twice. just make sure you offer a great return policy and highlight it in your description.

CaptainBOHICA · 08-02-2008, 11:20 AM

that protection will go up the more items you sell.....I THINK.
