Be Complete In Your Descriptions
Try to anticipate questions people may have, and be complete in the description of your
item. This will save you the trouble of answering e-mail questions from potential buyers.
Don't forget to specify the location of the item, and if the price is negotiable.

Provide Terms For Sale
To properly assure that you receive payment for the items you sell, include all accepted
payment methods and shipping terms in your listing. You may want to insure the item before
shipping, and you may want to accept more secure forms of payment (such as credit cards),
where you are able to verify the buyer. Also, if you are unsure about a buyer, you
may want to use an escrow service. Shopping Solutions has an alliance site called www.paypal.com,
which is an online escrow company. Paypal
offers many services to help complete your transaction.

Be Courteous To Buyer
Remember that, as a seller, you have the main responsibility in any transaction,
since you are advertising a particular item for sale, and are receiving money for that
item when you make the sale. A little bit of courtesy will go a long way, especially via
E-mail. It can be difficult dealing with a stranger solely through E-mail. We recommend
exchanging phone numbers to avoid confusion. If that is not an option, please take the
time to write a coherent message to the buyer. It can make a big difference in how you are
viewed by the person who you are dealing with.
