Price may pickup by xmas, but probability of that very low, as everyone will be getting there online orders next week, this is a classic example like lego polybag freebies that you dump as soon as possible as race to the bottom. 1 hour ago, Tedron said: What would you guys recommend? To sell or hold? Sell now. Don't get too greedy in case there is buyer's remorse. Doesn't matter if you insist on no returns, Buyer can say it was damaged en route and then eBay will side with Buyer. This is very much like the new UCS MFs that were bought on launch day at Leicester Sq. They were going for £4k a few days afterwards (best single transaction that I've ever done) Now, you can pick one up for about £1k. At the moment most buyers will be people who think they can make a quick buck, hence QFLL's as opposed to people who want to Build. Seriously who's going to drop £1k to build a set? Don't want to be left without a chair when the music stops! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to be left without a chair when the music stops! As someone who recently sold an Osprey set, how do I best protect myself from the buyer claiming the set was damaged en route? It was sold through eBay's Global Shipping Program so I only need to send it to England and then they take it from there however I am still concerned that the buyer claims the set was damaged and lose my money. I plan to wrap the set in bubble wrap and then place it into a box to post, I will ensure the set is insured for the sale value and that it is tracked but apart from that, is there anything else I can do?

Given the fact that PayPal allows for 180 days of practical buyer's remorse. Document, document, document. Every thing you do in regards to that package.

The product with proof it was yours (your name on a paper etc), all the packing, the box itself with the label, a drop off slip to your choosen shipping service. I've found PayPal typically sides with the buyer in the most idiotic way The stupidity of it all is just because you put no returns is for you only. Trust me your taking that return. 😛 Good thing is PayPal now reimburses shipping costs to buyers so you don't get screwed out of that. Tho it's an opt in program.

So you're telling me that even though I photo the product and it's condition, then photo it in packaging, then ensure that it is tracked and insured and also obtain proof of it being sent to the correct address etc that there is still a chance for PayPal to fully refund the buyer just because they claim something with no proof?

Taking photos of box from all 6 sides on ebay matters. Describing any dents / marks etc. Taking photos of the packaging doesn't do anything, if you upload that in a PayPal case, the PayPal agent won't care. Just send to PayPal address via tracked / signed for and proper compensation value is best you can do. Only thing afterwards is hoping package doesnt get damaged/ buyer isn't a scammer. If you cover yourself with the above, it will suffice for 99% of genuine buyers, the 1% scammer will always find ways to screw you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already sold them all, there were no notable dents/marks however at this point, should I still take a photo from all 6 sides just as proof at that point? I have spoken to eBay and they assured me that so long as I can get it to the global shipping program location safely, I am covered after that. If it gets damaged from that point, the buyer makes a claim from the global shipping team, not me. I want to feel confident but I feel I'll be a nervous wreck till they say they received it and they're happy. I can't believe there aren't more ways to 100% guarantee safety as a seller, especially with the amounts concerned with this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you get it to them they should cover you for anything after that for any claims the buyer makes.Even if the buyer files a PayPal claim 5 months from now and wins the claim, I believe that you should be able to contact Ebay about it and inform them of the claim and have their protection, as long as your tracking number shows it was delivered to GSP.

Apparently not. I always thought GSP takes full responsibility after they receive your package. Turns out they don't. Just search for "gsp ebay scam" on Reddit.

That's definitely bad news for the US. But I guess good for resellers who got them in NZ/EU. The US is a big market. It'll be another week or so before we know for sure, but odds are pretty bad for US right now. Prices continue to be all over the place - currently selling anywhere from $1100-1900US. I guess it depends somewhat on set condition and buyer/seller feedback. Given the US almost certainly won't get any, I can envision seeing some of these quick flippers selling as low as $1000 before equilibrium reaches around $1600-$2000.
