Exactly! Haha.. :pop2:

I would say the item itself is more of the issue than the dollar amount.

Sell a $2000 office chair you would have no problem at all. A $12,000 UTV with zero issues.

I wasn't referring to paypal at all, I was referring to the eBay scammers who could state that they never received the item ect.

Re: Selling $1000+ item on eBay
 

I had a "digital item" I was selling to build feedback on one of my accounts (around the time I started learning stealth). The buyer for whatever stupid reason opened up a "item not recieved case" saying I never sent them the item. :doh:

They never even paid for the item because when they checked out it they selected "pay local pickup" so it hits my account as 0 when in reality it should have shown .45 cents. Not even talking about how pathetic the buyer was to open up a case considering the amount. I sent the buyer the "digital item" to their email address.

Obviously I have no proof of delivery via tracking and it was so long ago I had deleted the email. Well I had to speak to TWO different reps to finally get the cased sided in my favor. I only cared because it would have counted as a defect on my account.

Imagine this was say a real item worth $350. I highly doubt they'd be so "nice" in siding with me if the buyer decided to take out his/her bad day on me.

Just saying from experience local pickup can cause issuses.

:attention:

I've learned tracking is always wise to have regardless the amount.

Eh, not sure if you can sell without a problem. They still have bots on paypal that would take notice if I sell items $50-250 and bam $2,000 hits my account out of nowhere.

I know what you mean though yankee.

Shoes in general are very high risk on Paypal. You can usually sell them fine and sneak under their radar IF you know what your doing BUT obviously this would raise unwanted suspicion simply because of the amount.

I sell Nike all the time without issue but $2500 Nike is 9/10 counterfeit Nike on eBay.

They are OG Nikes. Their first production of shoes.

The colorway alone makes them worth more too because its USA red, white, and blue.

When selling vintage clothing the colors can really make the difference on the final value you get.

Just do your due diligence and be careful.

You may have a gem there and there are nuts in the virtual world as well as the real world.
