Some of us are legit ebay sellers with long positive sales histories...
And selling on ebay is our only job because we want to be self employed and not be someone elses b!&*#.

Selling as you say in the regular established way, I assume you mean brick and mortar store, if you don't have a bankroll for a lease to open a store or even want to be out of the house for 60-80 hours a week at an indoor flea market and the regular flea market theres these things called seasons, and the very real danger of being robbed at gunpoint, because in the physical world the people who have guns and intend to use them to rob and or kill you or follow you to your house, look for sellers with lots of cash!!! So I'll take a few bucks missing at the end of the week, anyday of the week, and twice on sunday to be anonymously stacking coins and paying rent...

Just saying don't do it is what I think people with regular day jobs or btc millionaire early adopters say as a cop out...
It's like saying abtinence works...

Yeah o.k. just look up bitcoin on e-Bay and you'll see 1500+ active auctions and buy it now listings.

We need to band together to get friggin paypal to change...
I've actually made a few hundred bucks clear this week (not a kings ransom but I'm surviving) and out of the 100 plus listings that went just fine... you guessed it... Bam... unauthorized charge held for XXX...

Rule #1 for selling on ebay keep it small...

I almost had my ass handed to me til paypal actually blocked a transaction for 1,000 Feathercoins for $750 a few weeks ago that an account hacker almost got from me. Since then I've limited my auctions to $5 worth of coins or so...

Rule #2 Well the buyer has all positive feedback? They may just be on the surface... Read through your perspective buyers feedback (Before sending coins) to see if they have any negative positives, regularly buy cryptos, and that theres no major gaps in feedback dates. If at least 2 of these 3 things to look for aren't met consider it a red flag for a hacked account or a scammer. But use your own judgement...

Rule #3 You do not talk about fight club...

I digress... If I had just followed my second rule I wouldn't be out $12.50.
Lessons in the real world aren't cheap, good ones cost even more...
It's the cost of doing business, now that's fairly cheap for the several hundred clear profit, I just figure like any business 1-3% for fraud...

So......

First for the blacklist is......

daynalada

Got me for 150 Goldcoin from 3 buy it nows and if I'd seen the feedback someone else got hit the same day and left a negative pos feedback stating SCAMMER... The feedback I left was a litte more harsh...

I forgot, to add legitimacy to a claim, one must not remain anonymous.

Please, by all means, if you sell on ebay, feel free to copy and paste any ideas I have in my listings and incorporate them into your own listings.
Have a penny leave a penny... Feel free to message me there if you have thoughts to share with me as well...
