Brand new eBayer purchased a $200 book, should I be concerned?

No....everyone has to start somewhere.

 

I'd be more concerned that you label a $200 book as "high dollar"

 

 

 

 

not everybody rolls in the '64 like you do Brock.

You would think some of the suggestions are for a $2,000 book rather than a $200 book.

 

I sell to low feedback and newbie buyers regularly. There is no point in doing anything special for a sub $250 domestic order. Over $250, sure, get signature confirmation, if you want to protect yourself from scammers.

 

If you are paying for insurance regularly on these types of orders you are losing a ton of money as you could easily self-insure and be significantly ahead.

I usually add a disclosure in my listings that says that users with 0 feedback contact me prior to ordering and in the event that they dont (and trust me, they wont), simply send them a message and infrom them of your policy. Not to suggest that a scammer will scam you otherwise, but it does help to sense if they're trouble judging from the buyer's response. I had an eBayer that created a new account just to buy a $500 lot from me, and that was AFTER she inquired to get a better deal from her other account. It smelled like scam all over that transaction but after I've asked her a few questions she wrote me a very lengthy email telling me that she created the account just to buy it as a bday present for her husband and since he normally checks her account she didnt want him to pick up on it. Worked just fine!

The 2-3 partial refunds I had this year actually came from users with a high feedback score that I'd never suspect try to scam me. So I lost 20-30 bucks in the process, big deal
