Ok Where Do We Get All the Do's and Don'ts of E-Bay?If We Can't Find

[PCGINA]

I tried to join lmad almost a year ago and am still waiting for approval.

ME TOO!!! So I guess there is nothing there I really need - right??

 

[amerrigan]

What is LMB or what ever you all where talking about in the previous posts??? I have never heard of it.

I have lots of issues with selling PC on e-bay, most of which all of you have listed, but my biggest is the warranty issue. I've had a customer bring an e-bay-bought broken item to a show and try to get me to "make up" a receipt for her to send it back to HO. When I wouldn't do it, the customer got all snippety (she actually said, "Then I'll just hold onto it and go back to the consultant who helped me last time", and LEFT!). Who knows what she's saying behind my back! I hate to lose customers because I didn't "satisfy" her, but I do have some integrity and pride!!

That is horrible Diane! I have bought a few retired things as I have already said, but I understand that it doesn't come with a warranty. Nothing on eBay should come with one!! I am sorry that this lady was rude to you, but I am sure that you wouldn't have wanted a customer like that anyway!

I posted my rant elsewhere in the trading post, but I don't like how this woman who runs it threatens to "kick out" anyone who doesn't obey HER rules. I understand there are rules, but it bothers me that she refers to them as "HER rules and HER site" not the site's rules.

I felt the same way. I tried to join the LMAD site to help me start my business and I was REJECTED!!!!!!! Whoever runs it apparently had a problem with my email address. I pretty much told her HO has the same one and they don't have a problem sending me notifications and such. The NYer in me had to speak my mind and I told her that if this is the way she does business I am surprised she has any bookings. Her last email to me was "bite me"... so I reported her site to HO for an investiagtion!

Guess what I just saw on ebay? A super swat, bid up to $25!! I can't believe someone would pay $25 for a fly swatter, discontinued or not! And then I saw 5 quickut paring knives and so far, the price was up to $11. People are just silly or have too much money they don't know what to do with it!

 

[gilliandanielle]

That just shows me that there are so many people out there who need a consultant!! If those people had a consultant they wouldn't be buying stuff for that price!!

 

[raebates]

Hey dianevill, as far as I'm concerned, you're blessed to be rid of that customer. What she wanted to do was dishonest, and your integrity is worth much more than any sales she might lose for you. There's an old saying: If they'll do it with you, they'll do it to you. How can you trust someone who is trying to get you to cheat? I'm scrupulously honest in all my dealings, and I believe my customers appreciate that.

I was REJECTED from trying to join also. I'd be interested to hear what you hear about her also.
Hmmm...
Wonder if she is a person on this site also and is reading all we say???

I saw a tool turnabout for $45. I could not believe it!

 

[Cindycooks]

I once saw a food chopper for around $45 too and what kills me is the shipping these people pay!!! Dont they have the common sense to go to the main PC webiste and find a consultant? I think most of them really get their kicks off of ordering off of ebay - they dont even care about the $$$!
I was amazed how soon after conference that all the old stuff in the mystery boxes started showing up! I reported a few of those - no way could they come from anywhere but a consultant...to coincidental.

what is the address for LMAD

 

[jaye]

Ok, I am new... what is Let's Make a Deal??? TEACH ME, PLEASE!!!

I buy old consultant items... the catalogs, order forms, etc. It's a great way to get that consultans don't want anymore and that they are only going to throw away.

I got the rolling show to go for less than $75. I was pretty excited about that!

Thanks,
Jaye

Let's Make A Deal or LMAD is a yahoo group where consultants buy, trade, and sell PC stuff. Here is the address.

[Kelley Sells]

Just signed upfor LMAD....for the person who wrote about getting email all the time and the digest, if you go to your set up, you can shut that off, it was at the beginning of sign up it asked if you wanted daily emails of new posts or messages, or the daily digest or NOTHING at all....if you went past it, you get daily emails.....which is a bummer, they should have a default of nothing.....

Just thought I'd let you know that you can shut it off...

Okay, getting on the soapbox....
I too get very angry when I see someone selling items on EBAY....I wonder if they care....I can tell the difference between the consultants and the prior Hosts...I too did an aweful lot of business on EBAY as a seller, NOT Of PC stuff, but I think if folks can't stand it then THEY should help PC police EBAY itself, if we all did it and sent their links to HO, then maybe we could be helping ourselves and others......so kudos to those of you who DO do it now....of course we have the right to buy where and how we want, but I also believe the flip side....just like drugs, if you buy drugs, you are only funding those that sell to our children, not to mention other devious activities....we DO have the right to support each other and that MAY mean sacrificing our "right to buy where and how and when we want"out of duty to each other........does that make sense?

Okay, I'm too stepping down from the soapbox.....
