Q. I'm going to sell my iphone 2g at eBay its on mid condition scratches on the back but none on the screen Not Unlocked its an AT&T carrier and its 8gb
A. I wouldnât suggest anyone to become a seller on eBay. The most important thing you need to know is: 1) eBay does a very poor job to enforce winning bidder to honor their bids. 2) you are always the last person who gets paid. First of all, you need to pay eBay insertion fee and final value fee. FVF only applies if your item is successfully sold. Second of all, you will be charge a PayPal transaction fee for payment processing service. Then you need to pay USPS, UPS, or DHL to deliver the item to the buyer. The left over amount, minus your cost and 15% of government tax, will be the actual amount that goes into your pocket.
Although eBay claim your item might be eligible for an insertion fee credit if your item didnât sell or the winner didnât honor the bid. However, you can only use it once. In order to be eligible for the insertion fee credit if your winner didnât pay, you will need to first of all file an Unpaid Item dispute on the 8th day after the auction ended. Then youâll have to wait another week for the winner to response. If the winner didnât response, then you can relist your item and get your insertion fee credit when your item is sold the second time. However, if the Non Paying Bidder reply to eBay says they want to complete the transaction, then youâll lose the eligibility EVEN THOUGH THEY STILL HAVENâT PAY YOU.
Remember, never ever use the âSell Similarâ feature even you have like 100 identical items because once you list your item through âSell Similarâ, youâre consider relisting your item and you are automatically not eligible for insertion fee credit. Tricky huh?
The most stressful part is their feedback system. Sometimes, there are sick people out there, they bid on your item just to mess around. Some even leave you a negative feedback just for fun. eBay will not do anything to remove it. Even though you think youâre undeserved, eBay will not remove it unless they are presented with a valid court order stating that the comment is slanderous, libelous, defamatory or otherwise illegal. eBay doesn't remove Feedback without a court order, even if a member believes it is retaliatory, false, unfair, or harmful to his or her name, character, or reputation.
But these are nothing compares to their new feedback policy starting in May 2008. Sellers are no long able to leave negative feedback for bidder. Sellers can only leave positive feedback. Yup! Even the winner doesnât pay; you still cannot leave negative feedback to him or her. The seller will have no way to find out the credibility of the bidder.
Sometimes if eBay thinks your shipping charge is unreasonable, your listing will be removed without prior notice.
Also, if youâre new to PayPal, even thought you shipped your item to your buyer, PayPal will hold your fund for 21 days. Thatâs right, you wonât get paid for 3 weeks even though you have to pay your vendor, the shipping cost, and all the fees that listed above. Hereâs the stupid rule that makes new sellerâs life in hell:
PayPal and eBay are working together to make payments for eBay items even safer. Because we want both buyers and sellers to feel confident about sending and receiving payments through PayPal, we may temporarily hold payments for items sold on eBay.
Make sure to ship the item right away, so you'll have access to the funds sooner. We'll release the hold in 21 days unless you receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal on the transaction subject to the hold. We may release the hold earlier if either of the following occurs:
â¢The buyer leaves you positive feedback on eBay.
â¢We confirm that the item was delivered.* We can confirm delivery if you ship the item with USPS, FedEx, or UPS and either use PayPal shipping labels or upload tracking information from the transaction details page. This applies to transactions within the United States.
Additional hold period
If you receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal on the transaction subject to the hold, we may hold the payment until the problem is resolved.

My opinion is, donât do it. Itâs not worth the time since you donât make much and itâs very stressful.

Could I put my current iPhone Sim Card in an iPhone 4 and have it work properly?
Q. I currently own an iPhone 3G, but the new iPhones that are soon to be released look very cool! If I bought one of those, could I put my old sim card inside of it and have it function the same?
A. Not right away. iPhone 2G, 3G, and 3GS use a SIM card. iPhone 4 uses a microSIM. This just means that the metal part on the SIM is cut out and that part is put in the phone (which means itll save some space). So you could purchase a 5 dollar kit to create a microSIM from your full size SIM, or take it to ATT and they will do it for you.
