I've only been screwed twice in 13 years on Ebay. If I notice a big change when these new rules kick in, I might try something different. What other options are out there?

I had a friend of mine look around for something similar to sell a variety of items. Result: Ebay is pretty much the only game in town....right now.
I asked him to look into Alibaba because there ARE a billion Chinese...and they are buying!
Once I put 14 repro photos of some very rare candids from King Kong on Ebay. They sold for $30. The guy get them and then contacts me and says he wants to send them back because they are "not as described". I asked him what was not described. It says in BIG letters all over the place that these are repro photos, how they were printed and what kind of paper was used.
He said he thought they were ORIGINAL prints! I said, "You thought you got $5,000 worth of photos for $30? AND, you can't read!" Sometimes these people get the photos, scan them and send them back. He said he was going to Ebay and I said fine. After they reviewed the case and read my description, it was decided in MY favor. sheesh!
Quoted from robin:Maybe it's time Pinside starts offering merchant services as a replacement for Ebay/Paypal?
I certainly think it's worth a try...
