Is it safe to sell on ebay? It's too hard to sell these damn things.
I'll tell you what, if you get set up for selling cryptos on E-SCAM, be careful;.
They locked my account permanently within 36 hours of me making it (and it took HOURS to go through all that crap, and paypal, and credit cards....rrrrrrrr i get super annoyed thinking about the time i wasted.... also includes a 2 hour conversation with an obstinate , corporate party-line jargon spouting phone nobody at E-bay, trying to figure out how to get re-instated (nope, banned forever, although they have some kind of corporate-newspeak term for it "unfortunately your account will still be restricted"). They won't even tell you WHY they block the accounts!
With persistence, I got the operator to admit that they had some kind of issue with the product photo I was using. It was the EXACT same dogecoin/earthcoin pictures that others were using!
The operator, after 2 hours of dodging my inquiries, well he told me that I should have taken my own photo of the actual coins I had for sale, rather than using a stock photo, which made things look suspicious to them ( even though, like I said, everyone uses the same damn logos and stuff to sell cryptos...) ....hahahaha. I was so exasperated at this point that I didn't figure I could explain crypto-currency to a foreign "e-bay detective" with sub-optimal english skills, without blowing a gasket.
But I promised myself that I would do everything in my power to cast a negative light on ebay whenever I had the opportunity to do so in the crypto-world, and to always point out that once cryptos are more widely known and spendable, we wont have to go through all of the foolishness associated with using pay pal and credit cards when we do business online anymore.
NOPE.
Using cryptos for this stuff?
Well that's like wearing a pair of ergonomically tuned running shoes, developed just for you, without even having to provide your shoe size.
Using E-bay and credit cards and pay-pal?
That's like trying to compete while wearing a pair of those wooden dutch shoes, that you have to stay up all night carving YOURSELF, with a single bladed jack knife, while a gallery of rich people sit there deciding whether or not they even like the looks of you enough to let you compete.
Anyhow, I have a suspicion that MAYBE one of the other crypto-sellers tried to get rid of me. Possibly the Earthcoin guy, who was very vocal in forums about how he was enjoying being the only one selling them.... Maybe that's a little paranoid, but there is no shortage of greed around, so it's something one has to consider. Consider it! And do whatever you can to pre-emptively prevent anyone from being able to cast a shadow over your name, if you choose to sell on ebay. They seem to be willing to take action based on little to no actual evidence whatsoever.
One thing I know for sure: There was NOTHING wrong or misleading about my ads, or my INTENTIONS. They were pretty much cobbled together from the other crypto-sellers text and policies that I read on the site.
I even sold some doge before they nuked me, and sent the guy an extra 10% just cause he was scared when the deal all of a sudden disappeared from the site after he sent his money.
