I've always been a buyer on eBay, but never a seller. Any tips for new sellers?
Q. I have some various books and things I think people would be willing to buy. I've never sold anything. For eBay seller pros, what tips do you have for someone who's just starting out? I intend to only do a few items (maybe just one) at a time so I can keep track of everything. It's also not going to be sketchy items (it'll be like books, merchandise, unopened skin care, etc.)

A. As a seller with way over 1,000 positive feedbacks and only 1 negative one: ... 1. Treat your customers like gold, resolve to clear up any problem immediately, even if you have to refund. 2. Be sure to communicate at every step, what your policy is and what they should do to report any problem or disastisfaction. 3. Don't waste your time selling small quantities of items which are difficult or expensive to ship or where the shipping cost is excessive compared to the item value. This is a recipe for angry buyers, even when you do everything right. 4. Sign up for paypal and make that the only payment method you accept. Set up your defaults so only registered paypal accounts can bid on your auctions. Believe me, you will gain more… [cont.]

What other websites have seller/producer rating similar to 'Power Sellers' on ebay? Where can I find Info?
Q. I am looking for a symbol status that is given to sellers or producers of items that give them a certain level of prestige or status as with 'power sellers' on ebay. How does it work? what are the requirements? would customers rather buy from these sellers? etc. Where can I find info?

A. I've been an eBay "Power Seller" for nine years. Despite all the hoopla that eBay puts out trying to inflate the importance of the Power Seller rating, I haven't seen any evidence that it means anything to my business on eBay. I've never known any customer to choose my products simply because I was a Power Seller. Frankly, I think my very competitive pricing and 5000+ favorable feedback rating means more to my customers than some phony rating system. I know of no other auction site that follows this same strategy.

A. If you assume the loan...it will be in your name and you are liable. If you want to learn how to acquire property without assuming liability, I recommend trying to get Scott Clare from: as a real estate mentor.

A. A concise answer is that it can be filled by any number of sellers at various different prices, but none above the limit price. Frequently, mine are filled by two different sellers. I do not recall ever having more that two fills though.

A. Check the area to see how many other homes are for sale in the same area. The more houses there are for sale, the better your chances are of the seller taking a bigger hit. Also gage your offer on recently sold houses in the area. How much were they asking and how much they sold for. A little bit of homework can pay you back big time.

How is a book considered a best seller?
Q. Like, I know if it's on the 'best sellers list' or whatever then it is considered a best seller but how does it make the list? Do they have to sell a certain amount in a certain period of time or what's the criteria?
Asked by april2008 - Fri May 9 02:53:47 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The criteria for getting on the best sellers list is simply to be selling the number 1 amount. For example, a bookshop might have their own "best sellers" list and this is just whatever book at the moment is selling the most copies (normally per day). It could be 20 books a day or in the case of Harry Potter books it could be thousands. And of course it will differ between book shops. Other bestsellers might be for all time, which is just what book has sold the most out of all others for all time.

Can the seller of this house keep my deposit?
Q. I put a deposit down on a house to buy. I had a contingency clause in the contract about financing, and I was unable to be approved for the loan. The seller is threatening to keep my deposit and I am wondering if they are "allowed" to do this. My agent is not being helpful, and for whatever reason, I feel has the sellers best interest in front of mine.
Asked by Mfru101 - Mon Dec 29 12:42:26 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Get a letter from your lender stating that they could not get you financed and take it to the agent. The agent will need to fill out an Earnest money release form saying you are due the deposit back, you will need to sign it, then the sellers will have to sign it, if the sellers refuse to return the deposit you will need to go to inter-plead or arbitration. Even if the agent is the listing agent, they still have a duty to you.

How do you search on eBay by sellers rather than items?
Q. Hi, I would like to know how you would use ebay to search for a seller (who is not saved on you list of favourite sellers) so that you can find a particular seller and what they have on offer.

A. Find the house first and then ask the seller. Why is it that you can only get 80%? Why not put 20% down? There is a reason the bank will only lend you 80% you know. Maybe the house is not worth what you are paying. Maybe you can't really afford to pay more. Think about it...

A. A bestseller is a book that is identified as extremely popular by its inclusion on lists of currently top selling titles that are based on publishing industry and book trade figures and published by newspapers, magazines, or bookstore chains. Some lists are broken down into classifications and specialties (number one best selling new cookbook, novel, nonfiction, etc.).

Q. My husband and I put an offer on a home and the sellers countered back. We are going to counter back in the morning to actually improve the sale for them while getting seller's assistance with closing costs, so it helps us. I would like to know that if another offer is made by someone else can they accept it or even counter another potential buyer's offer back?

A. If they have made an offer to you (the counter offer), it will have a validity time. If you accept their offer, they are bound by it. However, it's worth noting that, since they have given no earnest money, if they took another offer in the meantime, there would be little you could do about it. Once their offer expires, or if you refuse it (that's what your counter-counter means), they have the right to do whatever they'd like.

Does a property seller have to disclose subsidence?
Q. We have recently found that there has previously been subsidence damage to our property. The seller didnt tell us about this at the time of purchase and they answered a question on the sellers forms which asked if there was any other infromation that they thought we should know about as 'no'. Do we have grounds to take action against them and if so what could we claim in damages. Thanks
Asked by Joe J - Mon Jul 30 18:35:34 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If subsidence has been properly dealt with (usually by underpinning) then it shouldn't be a problem in the future. In fact in the part of London I live in there is subsidence of some sort in almost every street. Ours is being dealt with by the insurance company and the estate agent says that it will actually add value to the house, having it done, as everyone in these parts will suffer from it at one time or another. On the other hand, if your seller knew there was subsidence, didn't do anything about it and failed to give you this information, that's pretty poor behaviour really and you may well have some legal redress. You really need to take advice from a solicitor but don't despair about the subsidence in itself - it usually sounds… [cont.]
