    I enjoy a good game, I've been check mated by a savvy buyer, I'll never get the money or the gold back but do have some recourse which could result in the buyer having the gold confiscated or possibly paying double duty plus a fine for defrauding customs.

    After 18 years selling on ebay, I've had enough of the BS.



    Last year the Goverment took half my pension leaving me $550.00 to live on ebay did not save my A$$ I did, had a great time on the Honda VT1100 and the sailboat life is a never ending adventure. Now for plan "B" growing garlic.

    Today was my birthday and nothing is going to spoil it or any other day going forward.

    I will tell you this
    I was recently at a Get Motivated Seminar listening to various speakers.
    I had met one of the speakers that makes 200-400 K a month on Ebay.
    Using Amazon Prime
    They simply use the Amazon prime system for resell items.
    Amazon prime handles the shipping, and returns.

    I use Ebay to sell items that I get if I'm out treasure hunting.
    For instance I found a nice pair of JNCO jeans for 1.00 at a thrift store.
    These jeans sold for several more dollars than what I paid
    I am by trade a Mechanical Engineer, but I plan on optimizing my opportunity with Ebay
    I've been to 3rd world countries before talking to street kids wearing **** rags and begging for leftover rice
    America is the land or Milk and Honey and their service is one that everyone should use.
    Ebay is a gold mine if your willing to hunt and play the game.
