eBay items...

I am selling a Roger Clemens signed baseball on eBay right now. I realized that it was a mistake for putting it up because he is going to get 300, and I could get more money for it down the road. However, I can't take it back now, so I fucked up.

 

Anyway, I've never sold anything on eBay before. When someone buys something through PayPal, how do you get the money?

 

For those who might want to get the ball, Click here.

 

Thanks fellas.

If you really want to, you can just cancel the auction.

 

As for PayPal, well, I think that you need to register with PayPal and set things up through there.

Yeah you must have an account with Paypal before other's can pay you by way of Paypall.

 

If you're already registered with Paypal, then the site should explain how everything works.

 

If you really believe the value is going to go higher, then just cancel it. However, I don't see why this would make it go up that much in value. Roger Clemons is a big name star already so I don't know if his stats would make a difference in the value at this point.

 

In 20 years when his star has started to fade from memories perhaps, but not now.

Plus since I got the ball signed when I was 9, I signed my own name on the ball too. I later crossed it out, but because of that I think the ball has lower value.

 

Thanks though fellas.

Holy fuck!!! When the winning bidder finds out you signed the ball and didn't disclose it, they are going to be fucking pissed. You dropped the value on that ball by like 80%.

I get the feeling whoever buys the ball will be really pissed, and will probably report you to Ebay for it. Something like signing your own name on the ball HAS to be disclosed, especially in a market like sports collectibles. Don't be surprised if you catch a raft of shit from whoever buys this. They'll probably want to reverse the transaction once they get the ball.

Mole, I doubt that you are a human being more and more every day, no offense.

 

How in the fuck could you not say that you marked on the ball? Have you no idea about collecting stuff like this?

If you look at the picture, you can see the writing on it. The person who bought it should of seen it.

I've been collecting stuff like this for years (well, I stopped doing so about two years ago), and I've seen weird ass things happen. One day something can be worth not all that much, and the very DAY that a milestone, record, or something like that happens it can skyrocket.

 

Even to huge stars, it's crazy.

Sorry, you are a fucking moron if you think you are in the right. I saw that and just "assumed" it was writing already on the baseball. Like the company that made it, or some other sort of writing.

 

You will get negative feedback, and more than likely will be banned from eBay if the buyer cares about this, once they get it.

Thanks Downhome.

Sure thing, nothing against you, but you really need to let the buyer know about this before this transaction goes through.

 

Why did you sign your name on that anyway? If I was with you, parent or whatever, I would have beat your ass for doing that. :D

I gotta agree with DH-

 

I didn't even notice the writing the first time I looked at it.

 

Looking at it now- It really doesn't look your crossed out name.

I would beat his ass for selling the autograph. As someone who has to put up with asshole autograph collectors everytime I try to meet someone- I always hate it when I see people selling their autographs because it makes celebrities not want to sign for people anymore

I contacted the guy about it, and told him that if he doesn't want it, then he doesn't have to have it. He hasn't paid any money, so it should be fine.

 

Am I dumb like that? Oh ya, Fate forgot to give me that part of the brain.

I actually got it no hassle, at a baseball game.

 

And my dad had no idea about it. It was mine, so he had no rights to what I did with it. However he should of yelled at me for signing it, but I was only 9.

Okay- THAT was a very smart thing to do. (No I'm not being sarcastic) At least he hasn't paid yet

I agree with you 100% by the way. When I get a personal autograph, I think of it as something special, but that's just me.

If my 9 year old got a baseball autographed by Roger Clemens, you bet my ass I'd punnish him for writing on it or selling it. If he isn't mature enough to handle owning something like that, then he wouldn't have it and I'd put it up untill he appriciates it.

 

I take this seriously. :D

As an experienced eBay seller, I can tell you that it is simply vital to note everything you possibly can about the item you're selling. Not just facts about the item, but any flaws or something similar that the buyer should know before bidding. That stuff comes back to bite you in the ass if you don't. If you're smart enough to list anything that the buyer should know about it, you'll be covered in the case of someone getting the item and complaining about a flaw, as you can just point to your listing and show them that you made note of it, thus making it their fault.

 

Also, it's important to remember that you should do what you can to satisfy the customer. If it's something that's their fault, then there's not much you can do, but if a problem arises that is neither person's fault, you should be the bigger man and take care of it yourself.

Oh ya, I will satisfy this guy in anyway possible (not in that way you perverts). I told him if he still wants the ball, I will send him a check for $25 along with the ball. I talked to a baseball collector shop, and they said the ball is worth about $50, so he would be buying it for $45, which is good I guess.

This is simply an idiot thread. Nothing classic like that OJ Hart thing.

Good lord, that Buffy/Angel thing really got you pissed at Mole didn't it? To go drudging through old threads to bring up Mole stupidity is a little harsh.

Yeah, it's pretty funny too.
