Selling online is a pain

<p>Since I can’t take everything with me to college and I need money too, I decided to sell stuff online. Everything’s going fine except that</p>

<li>Some people want to buy a book, but don’t pay for it, and thus waste my time.</li>
<li>I only ship domestically, but now someone really wants the book, and wants me to ship internationally. I say no, but she still insists. There are a bunch of other people who ship internationally, why does she have to ask me?</li>
<li>This isn’t as big a deal, but it still irks me: 9 out of 10 people don’t leave feedback for me.</li>
</ol>

<p>And while we’re on the subject of shopping online, I hate how there are a lot of scammers selling iPods on Ebay, I almost got ripped off by one two weeks ago. </p>

<p>Have any of you guys ever had bad experiences with buying/selling online?</p>

<p>yes i have. one time a guy didnt want to pay for an ipod. another time some guy didnt want to pay for one of the xbox 360s i was selling last fall when they first came out. i always say in the description that i will not ship internationally and that i will retract any bid of a person with less than 10 feedback and people STILL bid. people cant *<strong><em>ing read and it *</em></strong>es me off. i havent sold anything on ebay in awhile because of this. craigslist is my new friend.</p>

<p>I resorted to selling my CDs (not mine, really, but noone listens to them anymore) at FYE or Coconuts because there are 50 people on Amazon selling the same thing for 50 cents.</p>
