Buying on ebay

  • As soon as your product is bought, a notification will come to you. We recommend that the buyer immediately bill if the payment has not arrived for you within a few hours.
    After that, send the goods selected by delivery.
  • When the buyer receives his parcel, then perhaps he will leave you a review. We advise you to do the same. It is only worth writing it on the day of sending. So, if you did everything right, then there is no risk and you can write an opinion about the buyer at this stage.
  • If the buyer did not leave you a review, then you can politely tell him about it, but in no case to bother.
  • Make the packaging beautiful and high quality. If the item is easy to break, then poor packaging will be the reason for the dissatisfaction of the client. But beautiful and strong packaging will leave a good impression. Be sure to remember how much you pay for sending the goods to determine the acceptable cost of delivery.
  • If the buyer does not suit something, then always try to agree with him, since it is difficult to remove a bad review or cancel. Poor reviews scare away customers, so try to make the buyer be satisfied.
