Hey guys I'm a new seller with a total of 23 reviews, all 100% positive and I live in Italy.

I sold a new sealed Amouage from 2020 (Fate Woman) that I bought at a reputable physical store of which I also have a digital receipt. The buyer as you can see here, claims the bottle inside (so he opened the sealed box) has a different batch code that is cheaply written and not laser etched, also the fragrance doesn't smell at all like the authentic. The only proof he showed was close up pictures of the batch code of the box and the batch code of the fragrance, I asked him if he has video proof of him opening the box and taking out the fragrance because he could clearly be doing a bait and switch. Is there any solution in order to not let him win? Since the fragrance il CLEARLY authentic since I even bought two and the other Fate Woman was sold succesfully.

PS. He flagged it as not corrisponding to the description.

Genuienly the past 10 shoes i've bought to sell have made me lose money or break even

September 4th: item was picked up from my work, but never scanned. Front desk tells me they saw mailman take my package. Week goes by, still no scsn. It's not even in the system. Post office manager didn't help. Online usps claims denied because there was never a pick up scan. Appeal denied. Reported to OIG and nothing. Escalated to my congress person. Their investigation revealed no wrongdoing and proper procedures were followed. They state that mail is in an unsecure position, suggesting that maybe someone else took it. End of the road. I lost. My paranoia makes me wonder if someone in my building took it. Glad I didn't accuse anyone. I could've created problems for myself.

Couple days after i got the official report, my package is scanned for the first time half way to it's destination.

I already refunded buyer.

Looking for trusted auctions selling authentic branded clothing in bulk — vintage, new and overstock.
UK, EU and USA welcome.
Which auction websites have you personally used? Any hidden gems or sites to avoid?
Real experiences and recommendations appreciated!

The sticker on the side states it is a rental and not for sale, but it vintage and old so is it ok the sell or not?

I do a few estate auctions a year, mostly vintage auto parts. You have to love, or hate, the cast of characters that shows up. Are you one of these types?

Shipping is crazy cheap how are they doing that? Is company subsidizing it ? Is the post office, which usually is the one it ships through, subsidizing or giving favorable rates? Just don’t get how it’s sustainable.

I’m a top seller, and I mostly sell nice menswear. Like Buck Mason, Corridors, Taylor Stitch and some small European brands at least 70% off the original price. Lots of items are one of a kind or deadstock. I also have an eBay store selling the same items but price a bit higher bc of the fee. I noticed that eBay customers most likely will pay for full price, whereas Depop users tend to send unreasonable low offers in the case I will lose money when I accept the offer.

I’m serious considering closing my Depop shop and just focusing on eBay. I don’t understand how other top sellers can make profit if most customers only want to find a unicorn deal. I wonder if there’s any top sellers having the same struggles. If you do, please share your advice!

Post your latest episode(s) of your YouTube channel here, post links to your latest blog post, eBook, whatever. You can even post links to an eBay listing or something (but keep in mind, when someone here finds out what your eBay name is, and then they hate you, they will never forget it). You can post links to lots of stuff that you're trying to sell to other flippers, but this is still not a marketplace. Please go through some other service to complete the transaction. People on Reddit can be shady, and there's no protection from me, the other mods, r/flipping, or Reddit if someone here sends you a box of bricks. Just don't be dumb.

I normally list each new item to 4 different websites and I'd like to automate the pasting of the text heading and description to each website.
So basically the automation would be to open the "new listing" page of the 4 website and then paste the text for the heading and description into those fields on each of the websites and then with the heading and description text fields now populated I can come through and add the pics and optimise each page. This would save me a large amount of time copy and pasting, I already use the Ditto clipboard app which helps with that but still requires a lot of repetitive keyboard and mouse clicks.

Has anyone tried this with any success or have any tips on where I can start?

The websites I post to that are not supported by the commercial cross-listing software so I can't start there unfortunately.
