    Best Option for Towing My TJ

    When I search towing threads I mostly find threads about towing something with a jeep, I'm probably overthinking this subject but it doesn't hurt to ask. My dad has a new car trailer he wants to take to the lake house for storage and I'm staying down there for a week after the 4th so I thought...

    FREE Misc. Stock Suspension Parts

    I have the following stock parts sitting in my garage and I'd rather give them to someone on this forum who could use them instead of throwing them in the dumpster. I'd prefer someone pick them up but if I can't find anyone local then I will ship on someone else's dime. These are stock parts...

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    Final update for those that were following along in this thread. I did deny the return request for the panels and the buyer did not dispute so everything is behind me except for the additional $31 fee that I just got weeks later. I tried to delete the checking account from my ebay account and it...

    First Jeep (2004 Rubicon)

    I haven't been in a huge hurry to get finished up since the weather has been on the colder side and I had to do some traveling for work, but I did manage to wrap up the lift yesterday and get the Rubi out of the barn. I gave it a quick bath and then took it out for a ride and bedded the new...

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    I feel like this is something I've always tried to work on in my career. There's certain customers I work with that are very technical and I can have a good verbal conversation with them and by the end of it we are both on the same page and all details are agreed upon. I have other customers...

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    I don't know that he didn't read the description, I honestly think he had no clue that there are half doors and full doors. When he requested a refund and said they didn't fit I asked for pictures so I could see what the issue was and he sent me pictures of his doors which were full doors. I...

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    So as I stated above, I sent the seller a message yesterday around lunch and stated that the product I sold is exactly what I described and they will fit a TJ from 2001 but he has full doors and there's no way that I would know that before he purchased. I explained that I thought this was his...

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    Oh I've got that part figured out, that was figured out when they held my money until I gave them a bank account then they took a nice 12.5% off the top. I'm just trying to navigate my way out of this sell/return without getting screwed.

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    Based on what some here have said along with everything I'm reading on ebay community, I think there's a decent chance I could get screwed if this goes further. I also don't want to deal with the headache or arguing and getting ebay involved. I have sent the buyer a message explaining that I...

    So are you suggesting that I take them back and hope he covers the cost that I'm out?

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    I just checked the ad again and it states that "seller does not accept returns". I responded to the buyer this morning that the panels are exactly as I described but he has full doors not half doors. I'm holding tight on responding to the return request, kind of hoping he realizes he messed up...

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    I don't give my account info out on the interned either but it was the only way I could retrieve the payment. This was totally my fault, I have bought on ebay in the past with paypal and assumed selling would be no different. Once I get past this experience I plan on deleting my ebay account...

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    Buyer just responded to my message and sent me pictures of his doors, he has full doors. I messaged him back and explained that TJ's came with full or half doors and my ad clearly stated that these were door panels for half doors. I guess I would consider taking a return if he wants to pay to...

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    I've read through a couple ebay forums on similar things and it sounds like ebay is always going to side with the buyer. I concerned I'll end up in a situation where ebay refunds the buyer and doesn't require them to return it. This entire thing is a PITA and makes me want to never deal with...

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    From my understanding you have to do it now because they are going to send a 1099 if you sell over $600 worth of stuff in a given year. I didn't do a ton of research on ways around it because ebay was holding payment and I wasn't going to ship them until I had money.
