SaiJin | 05-21-2019 12:22 PM | Computer sellers Someone of you selling a heavy 40LBS desktop, how do you do it?
I have a Mac Pro desktop, the old one that's completely decked out that I wanna sell, but I'm thinking of doing local pick up only for eBay and pay by cash. |
james_112233 | 05-21-2019 12:32 PM | Re: Computer sellers I've sent a car engine in the UK for less than £40.
So a computer is a non issue. |
SaiJin | 05-21-2019 12:47 PM | Re: Computer sellers I'm more afraid of damages during shipment and scams. |
agent006140 | 05-21-2019 12:57 PM | Re: Computer sellers There was a time Fed Exp/UPS would not cover damage if it is not shipped in original carton,better check it out first.
USPS claim can be a big pain as well. |
Sunspot144 | 05-23-2019 07:18 AM | Re: Computer sellers Pain in the butt, but you can take pictures of the OS running with the hardware specs. Taking pictures of the serial numbers is wise too. Or it was, dont see as many people doing it now.
Edit: newegg will deny RMAs if serials dont match. Damaging a PC case is fairly difficult if the guts are secured fine. |
agent006140 | 05-23-2019 07:29 AM | Re: Computer sellers Ebay no longer rely on pictures,as it has never seen the item,pictures can come from another computer.
there are gold sellers who take pictures of an open box of gold bars with the USPS postal clerk,before sealing to show they have shipped gold,not rocks . |
Sunspot144 | 05-23-2019 07:36 AM | Re: Computer sellers Always playing devil's advocate :P
If your account has a good selling track record I'd wager they'd side with you instead of a buyer with less than 50 feedback. |
GreenBean | 05-23-2019 07:38 AM | Re: Computer sellers Why not Craigslist ?

One hear often some seller claims they have tested the device=printer,pc,etc before listing and pack it damn well,but what is meant by testing,?
turn on a switch,type something on keyboard,print a page?as for packing,without original carton and all that trimmings,the carrier could drop it from the truck,or old item could have loose parts,old is old,not brand new.
I would list as local pickup,and ask for cash.
if she loses the dispute,she would lose her shipping both ways |

OP concern is damage,damaged electronics vs damaged engine |

Do ebay+ local pickup + craigslist for faster sale
And don't worry about scammers, a reputable professional setup on ebay is unlikely to encounter fraud
I have sold 2k computers on Ebay hassle free. Don't listen to the naysayers
Best of luck

agent006140 | 05-26-2019 10:02 AM | Re: Computer sellers sell it under a category for scraps and parts,there is no item not as described dispute.
Some sellers sell working electronics under that category to avoid returns and some buyers do shop for working electronics in that category, |
