Do's and Dont's of selling
#166

THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF HYPE RECENTLY ABOUT SCAMMERS. I READ THE POSTS ABOUT THE BO-TARD THAT USED THE MILITARY AS THE REASON FOR SELLING. AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE MILITARY LAW TAKE HIM TO IRAQ OR HALFGANISTAN AND PUT HIM RIGHT IN THE LINE OF FIRE JUST LIKE THE REAL TROOPS DO TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
THANKS TO ANYONE WHO READS THIS THAT'S REALLY SERVING IN ARMED FORCES.
BUT NONE THE LESS, PEOPLE SUCK.
ONE THING I'D LIKE TO MENTION AS MY REPLY TITLE STATES (MY $.02):
SOMEONE MENTIONED TO ASK AND SEE IF THEY HAVE FEEDBACK ELSEWHERE. IF THEY GIVE YOU A EBAY USER NAME. WELL, IS IT REALLY THEIR USERNAME? ONE THING TO DO TO INCREASE YOUR ODDS, IS SEND THEM A MESSAGE THROUGH WHATEVER WEBSITE (I.E. EBAY) IN REFERENCE TO THE ITEM ON RCTECH. JUST TO GET A RESPONSE AND SEE IF THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE ACCOUNT THAT THE FEEDBACK IS ASSOCIATED WITH. AND THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY DIDNT TELL THIER FRIEND THEY WOULD GIVE THEM SOME OF THE MONEY THEY STOLE JUST TO USE THEIR USERNAME INFO.
IF YOU'RE LEERY OR THEY HAVE ONE POST AND 0 FEEDBACK, THE MORE QUESTIONS YOU ASK AND THE MORE INFO YOU CAN GET FROM THEM BEFORE YOU GIVE THEM MONEY, MIGHT (MIGHT) DETER THEM FROM FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH THE TRANSACTION.
I LIKE THE "CALLING THEM" IDEA. WHO DOESNT HAVE A SMART PHONE THESE DAYS. FOR THAT MATTER EVEN NON SMART PHONES HAVE CAMERAS. USE THAT BIG SMART PHONE IN YOUR POCKET AND UPLOAD TO PHOTOBUCKET.
SORRY, I FELT THE NEED TO CHIME IN.

When did the rules change to allow no pictures with the first post???
I must have missed this rule change!!!
Not long ago your thread would get deleted almost immediately if there were no pictures in the first post. This would stop alot of the laziness and stupidity that is going on these days.
Case in point, I have been shopping for a buggy and over 60% of the threads did not have pics!! And after they sent pics to my email, they were crappy, dirty, and nothing like "barely used at all" or "like new" or "tons of hop ups" as the post stated!!! Total waste of time and valuable memory space!!
I have a tc6 that I want to post but I refuse to until the car is stripped of electronics, cleaned and checked for wornout parts and until I can round up all extras that I am willing to include and list in the post.
Thanks rctech for allowing to vent on this topic and thanks in advance for answering my question...Where are all of the PICS???

ive made one mistake on that list once and that was #3 and after i posted and seen how crappy it looked and sounded and vowed never to sound like a crack head again. And whoever cant post pics shouldnt own a R/C vehicle. If i can do it from my phone you should be able to do it from a computer of some sort.... all the selling points from above are dead on.....

Responses regarding feedback/trader rating after a sale; I have noticed that many sellers ask for feedback first while saying I'll leave feedback after I receive it. I have always viewed feedback, EBay as well, as that the seller leaves it first if payment was prompt, communication good etc. EBay has since changed their policy regarding sellers using feedback as a leverage (i.e. you leave me good feedback and I'll do the same in return). I look at it as a customer, you advertised, I paid regarding your advertisement, therefore if you stand behind your product, leave feedback first! This is just my opinion, any ideas? Thanks.

A. Some people don't know how to use the feedback system. So if you want feedback you can ask the buyer/seller if they know about the feedback system and be helpful.
B. As a seller I always leave feedback after the transaction is complete ie: the buyer is satisfied or we come to a mutal agreement if there is an issue. Its just good practice. What happens if a deal goes south and as the seller you have left feedback already? At least you have the choice to not leave feedback or other. You cannot please everyone(but I try like heck
).
C. As a buyer I leave feedback after I have received the purchase and have tested/inspected the item(s).
