Rivernuggets Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Link Does the 'Free Local Pickup' next to the picture override his explanation below saying $375 pick up fee? I'd love for a local forum member to get that piece for a buck. Is there some kind of seller's advantage in listing this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yes - final value fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aundudel25 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Not sure about your first question but looks like they are using ebay to advertise and trying to avoid ebay/paypal fees which is something like 15% sale price iirc. I never thought of doing this..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorm Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 People do this for CL ads all the time. I'll bet if you search CL right now in his area its available for 375 bucks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorm Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I suppose one could pay the dollar via Paypal and request that he take it to a UPS store. Of course when denied, make sure he knows that his 100 percent feedback record is in jeopardy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizik Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) He's trying to avoid the eBay commission, They don't appreciate it when people try to do that. Especially if someone reported the listing. Edited April 23, 2015 by Fizik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Not sure about your first question... Just wondering if a buyer could BIN for $1, then get away with demanding free local pickup as listed near the top.

Ceptorman Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I think it's funny he's trying to beat Ebay out of the fees, then in the ad it says it's at his church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheric Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I am not fond of EBay+Paypal 's 13% commission but to cheat them out of their fees is unthinkable. EBay is not a free service like CL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
