Sold on both with close to ZIPPO issues, but this was years ago.

I gave up in eBay for that precise reason a couple of years back. They've been bending backwards for these larcenous dogs for a few years now.

If you even had a half chance to make your case to a human phone representative, I might still be selling there. They want to do everything by Ai and they want more money for nonexistent customer service. As the seller, you're the one who's paying for the entire enterprise- on top of the losses, but they go to bat for the buyer every time. Not for me.

I am pretty sure that there are plenty of people who have lived in four and five story walk ups, Who have heard someone tell that joke. It’s pretty common to see a workmen sweating as they’re lumping up the stairs. It’s priceless when they believe that there is possibly an elevator lol. 😝 

I can only say through experiences had and those experienced by others that are well understood to myself. That if parting with sale item goods is off high importance and the 'closed won' of the sale is not done Vendor / Buyer as a face to face.

When sale item goods are sent to buyers who remain strangers , there is much increased odds that the unwanted experiences to be met, are going to be met.

The most deceitful stranger, with their knowing how to abuse their buyer privileges and Vendor as a concealed customer. When met in the flesh as the buyer, is with little option as the buyer, to be part of a fair sale or decline the purchase. 

I sold a McIntosh power amp on eBay a few months ago. It was the first time in over a decade that I’ve sold anything on there. I sold it in 4 days at a price very close to my asking price. And it was to a local buyer who picked up the unit with cash. So that all worked out great. But I felt the selling fees were outrageous.  I’m not sure if I would use them again.
