Never had an issue with it, but I couldn't do it as anything other than a bit of a side gig. Packing, delivery, handling disputes etc. It's cool for picking up random things that are hard to source, and selling things boomers love. I doubt I ever made much more than break even because I never sold half the stuff I bought to flip. So now I have too much random hifi and headphones.

Chrs posted:You can disagree with it all you want but that’s not how it works according to the eBay policies which that buyer would have has to have agreed to when they signed up for an account and which are reiterated whenever they place a bid on something. When you place a bid on eBay you are committing to buy the item in the event that you win, look it up. You are committed, not compelled. eBay sales happen within their own framework of rules. The worst that can happen from refusing to pay is an unpaid item strike against your account. Your friend didn't do anything technically wrong, but made numerous stupid mistakes. For future reference, if somebody doesn't pay, don't insist on them paying on pain of giving their account a strike. Relist it for free or sell it to the next highest bidder. When selling, take a timestamped photograph of the item pre-delivery, and get receipt of delivery. Deliver with a reputable company. If you can prove that the item was sent in good condition in dispute resolution, eBay shouldn't find against you unless the buyer claims it was damaged in transport. In which case you claim through the standard delivery insurance. All that is a massive headache however, and not 100% guaranteed, so don't try and force people to pay when there's basically zero reason to do so is the moral of the story.
