I think I will be selling a lot of great items on ebay in the next few weeks!
Look for great deals on things that people didn't want for Christmas!
I think it's gonna be so much fun for both buyers and sellers!

Have you seen the lines!?!?
OMG! The lines at the post office have been insane!
As of right now I do not have anything listed for sale on ebay. My plan is to wait until the holidays are over and the lines calm down a bit.
Most of the time I print out my own shipping labels from the USPS and just drop the items off real quick. Normally I would have some listings, but if I get some buyers that live outside the United States I would have to wait in the long long lines at the post office or the UPS store. Forget that!
I think it's wise to wait for everything to get back to normal.

A great feeling
What a great feeling to know that ebay does care about what items are being sold through their site!
My previous post was about a transaction in which I received fake merchandise from an ebay seller. I thought it would be a huge nightmare to have to go through all the hoops that ebay and paypal have for this situation. I was wrong! It was not hard at the least and in fact, I was very pleased to find out that ebay takes this sort of thing very seriously as was as paypal.
I received a full refund from paypal which they said should be reflected in my account in 3-4 business days. Although the seller is still selling a ton of items that are fake, I think it's safe to say that it will be stopped.
I can't even imagine how many people will be completely angered about receiving fake, junk items around the holiday season all from this one person. I mentioned before that when I bought my item from this seller their feedback score was around 350 or so, it is now above 405! Very sad indeed.

Beware of fake items!
I guess it was bound to happen...it's sort of funny in a way at this point seeing how my last entry was about how great ebay is :)
The moral of the story on this one is to read all the feedbacks left for someone your thinking of buying from, even if they are marked as positive scores.
I recently purchased an item from user "thefinestavailable" thinking that because they had a feedback score of 99.7% with 350+ feedbacks that the deal would be fine, it wasn't! When I received the item I knew as soon as I opened it that it was FAKE! and not even a good fake at that. I'll save you the gory details of the refund process in which I'm still in and tell you that you MUST read the feedback that others leave before buying anything. If I were to have read their feedbacks I would have never bought anything from these people! I thought that since they had almost all positive scores that others were happy with their purchases, but after reading about 20 I soon noticed that even though they were marked as positive scores, they were tells of horrible, fake items!
What this person does is tells you that they will not issue you a refund unless you "mutually withdraw" your negative feedback. This voids the negative feedback and makes it look like they seller is great, when in reality many of the positives are bad remarks.
Never the less, these people know the game and have it down to a science. I want to let you all know their name so you can avoid the headache I have from this deal. I know they are ripping a ton of people off since it's the holiday season, so be careful.
AVOID the ebay user "thefinestavailable" at all cost!
Read their feedbacks and see for yourself! They have quite a scam going!
