Escrow

Sorry Jab - you know I am quite a lazy seller I dont have the fancy schmancy stuff. I did make an attempt to read up about it, but I prolly got sidetracked by some new jeans, or shoes, or something Shiny

So no, dont use, dont intend too

...I'm with you, Lexie. I did some reading in help, too. I was surprised at the fees. I hope the buyers are happy with Paypal and my 100% positive FB. We will see....

Maybe you could get a friend to volunteer to be an escrow agent... But would the other party trust them?

i think the fair trade tyhingie would be better on your listing than the escrow (sorry typing one handed as i am eating)

I will NOT use escrow. I think it is just leaving you open to problems. I say no escrow and have never had it challenged.

Sounds good to me!

Don't think I'd mind escrow, as long as the other guy paid the fees!

Shirley, there are so many nuts out there, unfortunatly, you are asking for them to come out of the woodwork.

Really? How are nuts attracted to escrow?

...reason I asked was because I just listed an item I'm HOPING will go for $500+, and was wondering if accepting escrow may be attractive to bidders. But if Mrs.M has sold bunches of big ticket items WITHOUT escrow, I don't see why I should bother!

Well, the escrow co. holds your money while this "nut", we will call him, looks over your item. He thinks, hmm, I'll tell them this or that is wrong and they'll come down on the price rather than take it back. Just one thought on the subject!

Sounds like a scam, Mrs.M! I hadn't even thought of that. I think I'll avoid escrow if I can. I'll just have to convince any potential buyers what a wonderful & trustworthy person I am! Will any of you guys be references for me? Maybe I can get dam_mad? Wadya think?

Jabbergah                                                    

Jabber, tell them to just ask...I'll tell them ALL about you!! LOL!...Honestly, you won't have anyone ask, I'll wager, to use it. Just click no.

and all. Thanks for the input!

Jabbergah                                                    

Sure, Jabber, I'll be a ref for you if you'll be a ref for me!

Wait, is that legal?

Listed the item less than 2 hours ago in a 10-day listing. It already has 2 bidders & bid is at $150. That's good, right?

Jabbergah                                                    

Ummmm....would that be a cross reference?

Jabbergah                                                    

Jabber, that is good! Question..why 10 days??
