Watch any live auctions and that will tell you. Honestly I tell myself everyone has to start somewhere, but they want you to think they are professionals when obviously they are not. Its the modern area I tend to avoid the most. There seems to be more problems in that area with new collectors in the market that have a much different mentality for how to sell comics. What is nice is Paypal will eventually freeze your account for doing it. Ive seen several that all of sudden are complaining their account got frozen. Does PayPal freeze accounts based on activity or someone reporting it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have gathered it really depends on how much you use F&F. I would imagine big money would trigger it as well as multiple transactions over time.

fastballspecial Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I think they felt sorry for you after Ebay banned you. All kidding aside I think they have the ability to tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd4ever Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I have done a few live auctions on FB. It's a good way to get rid of some books quickly. It's tough to get viewers though...if I get 12 or more viewers, that's a good sale. Expect low ballers of course but I do it mainly for fun and interaction. Have a few beers, sell some books, meet some peeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Less Blob Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Seems that 95% of the listings are for ebay+++ prices. I did pick up some cheap Simpson's comics the other day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started selling on FB a few weeks ago. Not much luck yet. I try to give good descriptions and reasonable prices, but so many others throw up a book and say give me offers. I don't get it.

Usually a seller on fb will post pics of big big big books and prepare everyone for a sale. Once everyone’s tuned in they list the books one by one with offers. usually. USUALLY.. you get high end books at overpriced>reasonable prices and a whole bunch of drek that flies at 1-2$ a pop. But sometimes you get clueless sellers too.
