slobey Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hi guys, I want your opinion. There is a guy on Bricklink selling some old sets I want complete with boxes for a resonable price. Catch is he has zero feedback. Looking around at his store nothing else really throws any red flags up nevertheless the feedback(or lack of it ) concerns me. Does paypal offer protection if it is not an ebay transaction? keen to hear what others think.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaynew10 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Humm - ringing alarm bells here! Everyone has to start somewhere I guess but I would personally feel safer on eBay. Does he have anything on eBay at all that you can verify is him and his listing? Without anything else to go on I would think twice here... Good luck..

Paypal, kinda has protection for it, but nothing like with ebay. If they are inexpensive sets, I would say to go for it - expensive items, I would not. Also, if you have your paypal account linked up to a credit card, that would be extra protection - since you could always then have the backup option of filing the claim through your credit card.

silmon Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hello, just yesterday I sold an old set DISCOVERY 7471 on Bricklink I'm new, and of course I have zero feedback, but everyone has to start in a way. If this is my set :-) and you do not trust to complete the transaction on Bricklink, we can do it on Ebay, but they are unfortunately more commissions ....

I had zero feedback at some point too I've emailed a couple of days ago for a postage quote( we live on opposite ends of the globe) and I have yet to hear back so I won't do anything till that happens regardless.

Fcbarcelona101 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 So, today I finally sold my first set on Bricklink. I have been selling on eBay most of the time and decided to give it a try and change venues for once and see how it goes. I have to say that the process is not as hard as it seems to be at first glance. Everything went smoothly, and it was really good to get a look at those low fees in the end! haha. Anyway, I am very optimist about this site's selling tool being a lot better. So I will be holding off most of my sales until you guys get that going!
