I know a few of you use e-bay to sell a thing or two.
I predominately use it to purchase items and have only ever sold one item, which was my old Surf.
My son has had a clear out and has decided to sell what seems a hundred used PSP and PS2 games and movies. So I've decided to help him sell them on e-bay as he's only 15.
Here's my question:
Should I use recorded delivery to ensure the item has been received by the buyer?
The only issue is that in doing so, it drives up the cost of the game/ film to a cost that's comparable to a new film sold by those mega-sellers that offer free P&P.
I know I can drop the price of the item, but it then seems almost not worth the effort involved in listing the item, packaging it up , and going to the post office.
What I'm trying to avoid is some pimple faced yob making a claim and saying he never received the item, when indeed he has.
I know I would pay the extra costs if I was buying something, to ensure piece of mind. But then again our target audience isn't middle aged men.
Any other advice would also be much appreciated.
Thanks.
