Sold Something On Yardsellr

Yea, but in that case you would have to refund and keep the item again. I just think the overall thing I hate about it is the fact they expect you to ship it before you receive the payment, it doesn't seem right. No company I know of has done that as far as mail order at least.

I would never wait til they receive an item, it is similar to this site though. I would worry about all the things that could go wrong between then and getting paid. Glad you understand it though, cause I really don't. Things aren't being too fair to the seller anymore. Hopefully all the other sites like ebay, etc. won't adopt this kind of payment method eventually.

Yes they are supposed to have paid via the web site itself, then after the site gets the delivery confirmation # from you they will send the money to you via Paypal after a few days or so. I still don't care for that kind of tactic though.

I suppose you could sent them the delivery confirmation, then wait the 3-4 days or whatever it takes for them to send the payment. That way at least you know you have the payment, if that is a way of working around it at all. They are supposed to have paid, through the site itself, but the payment doesn't get to you unless you give them a delivery confirmation # which means you probably mail it out after the D/C in most cases. But I would hold onto it til the payment was in my paypal, from now on. I don't care if it takes alittle lonmer, it just makes it feel securer for me, the seller.

lonmer = longer* (typo)

I agree with you, it's not fair for individual sellers. It is expensive shipping things out. I would not be able to afford it thats for sure and most people can't!

You would get the money but it would be around 2-3 days later, thats the hitch. I'm not too sure of that as I'd need the money upfront from the web site if the customer paid them. I don't know why they have to put the money on hold, first. Security reasons maybe? Hmmm, not right though.

Yea I did hear that Amazon was another site that did this. I was tempted to sell some stuff on there as well, but I guess I change my mind now. The little people like us sellers just don't get a fair chance this way.

I think so too, there are problems within the site other than what I mentioned too apparantly as I read through more and more of it. Who has the money these days to ship something out before they get the money to pay it, it's not really good for the sellers.

It's just calling for disasters. Msny would order it, then not pay for it. I know I couldnt do this sadly there are a lot of people like that in the world. Exactly, who can afford shipping an item, and lossing the value of the item.

Supposedly they (the customers) do pay the web site, then the web site holds the money in their account until they get notice of you sending them a delivery confirmation # which means you have shipped the item, or plan to. Then 2-3 days or so later you do get the payment, but still I'm not comfortable with that.

i'm not sure if i wanna continue there, i put some things up there prior to my surgery thinking i would not get any bids right away anyways and right after the week it was done i had a buyer, for some beeswax i sold. i will l eave what i have up for now but not sure if i wanna list anything more. i didn't read the tos before i used the site about this, i figured it was just like most other sites where you sell things and they pay you up front like normal.
