First time eBay seller help? - Off-topic

Hi! I searched but couldn't find the answer so ha!
Lol anyways.
Okay so I found out you have to pay a small fee to sell and once you sell your item correct?
Okay so does ebay jut deducted the fee from your item sell money /PayPal account? Or do they take it immediately from your debit card on your paypal ? Or do you have to pay straight up before you can post your item?

Haven't sold in a while but from what I remember, you pay an insertion fee, depending on what it is and then you hve to pay a %'age of the total amount it sells for.
They set up an account for you and you have about a month to settle the balance iirc.
So if you need to wait for the item to be paid for before you're able to pay Ebay that's not a problem. It's all pretty easy once you've done it for the first time.
I think that's how it works anyway....
Also, did you just ask a sensible question??

Elgoog is your friend.
http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html#fees

It depends on how you sell it. The cheapest fee is with a starting price of 1 dollar and selling it by auction. The "buy it now" commission is pretty steep.

Also, do an advanced search on feebay for "completed listings" of what you want to sell to see how they have done recently.
Start it as an auction like a $1, but put a buy it now price a little bit above what a comparable phone sold for. Maybe like 10% higher. That way if someone is hard up they will buy it to get it immediately.
Don't take checks. Require immediate paypal payment and give them next business day shipment. Not next day delivery unless they want to pay for it. Just promise to ship the next business day. (and do it) People are more apt to bid on yours over others if they know they are going to get good/prompt service.

Okay so after I sell it
They charge my fees on my paypal account?

Well, yes and no. Paypal charges fees of their own. Ebay will give you an invoice, at the, end of the month IIRC for your listing and the seller's fee(s)

Yes, usually towards the end of the month for me. PayPal take their chunk when you transfer your money from them to your bank.
Seriously, dude, Google already has all these answers. Try using it in future, and don't just rely on the first few results before you create a thread on here. Google's servers are a little bigger than xda's

T-Mobile Employee discounts?

I was just curious of what discounts and perks the employees receive.
Thanks everyone!
I remember talking to one of the guys at a T-Mobile store a while back and I think he said that you get to buy a phone at the upgrade price every 6 months or something. I don't quite remember though, I may be Wrong.

Word to the wise, don't advertise much you're a tmo employee here or other blog sites, they don't like it, it's how I lost my job (last year, I have a much better one now)
But, since you asked, if you were hired direct to the company (not sine 3rd party wireless affiliate), last I checked, it was 2000 minutes, unlimited text for $10, unlimited data is an extra $5.
You get a 40% discount on the wholesale price of the device of your liking, but only for the first 2 lines. All additional lines are full price. You can have up to 6 lines (last I was there) with the criteria I listed above.
After 2 years, your 3rd and 4th year discount increase to 65%, and 5th year and higher, any device you want is free (but you have to pay outrageous taxes on the hardware)
They're a good company to work for, so long as you're in a position you like, and while they remain around).

OK, So It shipped from Adorama! (No Nans)

Sorry if this should be in another thread but I think it is important to know as some people may have done what I did...
So I ordered through the Play store when the Nexus first went up on the 27th and I got the 8Gb. At this point, I still have received no communication or final charge from Google. So that sucks!
Anyway, today I saw the Verge post about Adorama getting stock so I figured I take a flyer and place an order for a 16Gb (which is probably better to have than just the 8Gb) and choose overnight shipping - which was like $27 but there was no tax because Adorama is an NY Co and I am in PA. I emailed them to ask if there was any chance it would ship today and I would get it tomorrow, but I never received a reply from their customer service.
I did, however, receive an email that (I think) they sent to everyone who ordered online saying that the Nexus 7 was backordered for 10-14 days and I could cancel, or wait and not be charged until it shipped etc. Well I paid via Google checkout and I was charged immediately after the order and the charge was never removed.
So I figured I would give until tomorrow to see if I hear back from them, so I haven't cancelled the order.
So finally a few moments ago I went to the Adorama site to check on my order status and to my surprise it has SHIPPED! They attached a tracking number and the package is already in route in NJ and should be hear by tomorrow at 10:30AM!!!
What is weird is that I have received no email from Adorama with the tracking info nor has my google checkout (wallet) been updated with the tracking info - it still says "order not shipped."
The moral of the story: If you ordered from Adorama check your order on their website ASAP. And it is every possible that Google Play orders may be shipped already but the Google Wallet info has not been updated.
I won't be on here for long so I cannot answer many questions or post Screenies, but Good Luck and Good Night! :fingers-crossed:
ok
Good luck!
one more thing...
and now I have received and email confirmation from Adorama and by Google Checkout has been updated with the tracking. So it is all going smoothly.... as of now.
Same thing here says it shipped. I will have it by 10:30 am tomorrow....
I did get the back ordered email earlier.

I'm very tempted to cancel my order and get this right now. I have to play an extra $25 for tax cause google is located in california on top of the unexpected 50$ price jump to for the 16gb and I still haven't recieved anything from them eventhough i ordered on the 27th.

Pre-order through Sam's Club - Don't!

If you pre-order from Sam's Club and then find/buy the Nexus 7 somewhere else, Sam's won't cancel your order!
Their "policy" is that you have one hour to cancel your order!
One hour is pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. I talked to a Sales Rep. who wouldn't do anything about my order but quote me their cancelation policy. I pre-ordered on 12 Jul with shipping to take place between 20 and 24 July. They probably don't have any in stock but they still won't cancel an order. They also put a hold on the funds with my bank!
Looks like I'll just have to refuse the delivery if they go that far!
Last time I'll ever order something through Sam's Club!

Still sounds much better than preordering from Google Play. No updates. No shipping confirmations. No cancellations other than perhaps refusing the delivery. So yeah, never again.

I preordered on the 28th and managed to cancel my order on the 10th july by sending an email request, then an order status request
This is no different than the Google Play policy.
I realized I accidently ordered the 8Gb model. Called 90 minutes afterwards and they said they couldn't cancel the order since it was over an hour. Even though I was on hold for at least 45 minutes.... I'd have to refuse shipping once it got to my house. So I have two of them coming tomorrow. One of them I have to send back then wait a few weeks for the money.
Are they out of them now? I got mine Friday from Sams Club and they had like 14?

I purchased three from Google but decided to pick three up from Sam's club and one out of the three has all kinds of problem,The screen has yellow bleeding, Dead pixels,The left side of the glass is really loose & the screen flickers really bad but the other two devics are fine. If you decide to go the Sam's club route I would check it out well. Sam's club has a good exchange and return policy so at least that's good and a 1/3 chance you'll get a defective unit are decent odds

Deeeeefinitely not worth the price tag. I would say keep it in the box until they become available, but due to most 30 day polices and all these defects, I'd just as soon hold off on purchasing the device until it's all available at once like it should have been from the beginning.

Quick, order 100 and post it on ebay!
They are available in the play store for $20.
Unfortunately the shipping is $10 and you might have to pay tax ($2.17 - GA) for me.
I am disappointed in you google!

Market Place and paypal

I have been reading around and I have been noticing noone should buy with gift.
There are these two phones I would like but the seller wants to be gifted. Should I?
Moved to Off-topic.
Hell to the nah! The buyer is trying to get the exact amount for what they have posted. It lessens your ability to get your $$ back if there is ever a problem, its also against the marketplace rules. Read it and learn.
Yes it was tested on animals, didn't fit.
If they are requesting gift payments then please use the report post function as this is against the rules.
As mentioned, this makes it much more difficult to recoup a loss and the seller is only doing it to avoid fees.

never ever ever ever pay with gift online, you are not secured, and if you tell PayPal you paid as gift to a seller that was a bum they'll say too bad and hang up on you.
He has been reported
Claims he did nothing wrong. Something about his feedback on ebay. He didnt reply when I asked if he asks for gift on ebay too
Ok, so I'm the guy he's referring to. I gave my ebay references to him and my fredmiranda.com reference. It doesn't look though that he bothered to check them. My objective was to avoid paypal fees, I guess the right way would have been to ask him to pay the Paypal fees himself. I know this is not fredmiranda.com, but over there, it is common practice to ask the buyer to either pay as gift or add the Paypal fee in the final price.
And I did just respond to his cynical ebay question. This could have all been avoided if he just said no to my terms. If he didn't like it, all he had to do was either suggest that he would pay the fee after I made it clear to him that I didn't want to pay the fee, or simply say no thanks.
Instead, he made this a bigger issue than it really is.

Oh sure, you're the victim here.
1) I get a low ball offer for 2 phones. I agreed any way... Better than taking up space.
2) I supplied you with actual photos of the phones.
3) I supplied you with my ebay and fredmiranda.com accounts so you can check me out and cross reference my accounts.
4) If you bothered to check me out in fredmiranda.com, you'd see that I bought and sold tens of thousands of dollars worth of photo equipment... And not a single negative feedback!
5) And with you... All this for what? $50? Yes folks... For a $50 transaction for 2 phones.
This is definitely not worth it.

It's been stated countless times to add Paypal fee into final price. why should it be up to the buyer to do the math for you? I hate when i see for sale threads with that crap on there. Just have it all factored into the final price. Simple

If you would have said you would put the sale on eBay you would be shipping them out already.
The lowball offer he's referring to are for a palm pixi and pre two dead phones with no future but I like webos but wont pay out the nose
This isn't the place to discuss this. Use the PM system to chat about it as it's nothing to do with anyone else.
