I have a feeling the person who left the comment has no idea how eBay feedback works. Or is just a pr1ck.

I hate the echeque thing they do now on ebay. I don't keep my money in my paypal I'd rather keep it in the bank, because of this I have to wait a week to make a payment, makes me feel like a right censored because that poor seller has to sit on his arse for a week to send an item.

You can still pay for an item in the usual way, if you have no money in your paypal account. It gets automatically transferred straight from your bank account when you pay for the item. You don't have to use e-cheques.

I seem to get pretty lucky as a seller - I usually get most items paid for and have never had anyone try and scam me for items not received - the only time I have had to refund anyone, I've managed to get the value back from Royal Mail.

That said, I seem to be desperately unlucky with the value my items sell for - stuff that usually fetches £10-15 based on completed listings, I will end up selling for a fiver! :(

You can alter the postage to courier which just comes up as freight in the p&p bit. Then you can charge whatever you need to. You aren't stuck with £2.50 max. I think your listing drops down the pecking order if you do it, but hey ho.

Best bit of advice that i can give about ebay that i do now is to list no more than 5 items at a time then stagger a few days then list another 5. Ive done the list as much as you can at once and it gets too much.

I have 43 items ending in the next day or so, some off the questions I have gotten are franky crazy all scams me thinks. About 8 off the bidders have under 10 feedback and from my experience means getting paid is going to be a nightmare.
