The drawback is that you must pay shipping from Sweden. I have no experience as a seller on trader.com.<br /><br />There has been a recent upswing in Scandinavian Collectors Club mart books. You will not get the exposure that eBay provides but the buyer market for Scandinavian material is targeted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409370.post-22115278295909640452013-02-26T18:24:25.347-08:002013-02-26T18:24:25.347-08:00Have experienced all of this but my most outrageou...Have experienced all of this but my most outrageous experience was when a customer complained about something and paypal froze my account. I told ebay that no bank would ever have the audacity to even think of doing that - banks are not our mothers - and that had as much effect as tossing a cup of tea in the pacific.Ping-fahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234169122958912453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409370.post-89504143638857315852013-02-26T07:06:31.731-08:002013-02-26T07:06:31.731-08:00But interestinglyly, last week I did receive this ...But interestinglyly, last week I did receive this massage from Ebay <br /><br />"Thanks for being a great seller. eBay has protected your seller performance status.<br />You received multiple low detailed seller ratings or claims from a small number of buyers, which is inconsistent with your excellent performance on eBay. We have excluded these ratings from consideration in your performance evaluation."<br /><br />These rating (done under the cover of 3 positive feedback) were from the same buyer who was unhappy with the shipping cost (shipping cost is always combined to get the lower shipping cost possible). The buyer didn't wait for the invoice, paid full shipping and I had to refund him the extra he paid PRIOR to shipping. Still he was not happy , go figure. I do sometime feel like blocking France but I cannot since I currently live there.vartinnaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901958664964104030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409370.post-89450202263896171862013-02-25T11:15:24.347-08:002013-02-25T11:15:24.347-08:00God - You have nerve!

I never sell on eBay, few time I just purchased there - but, at the time when they made "improvement" with this "star" marking, and some other "systems" - I say, that something is there very complicated. I just think that there (in eBay) is some kind of "new generation" of people with ""hokus-pokus" ideology in making profit - but "unplugged" from realty.<br /><br />best regards<br />Milco<br />http://picasaweb.google.com/balkanstampBalkanstamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758945201068330750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409370.post-4947991821398025582013-02-25T09:07:13.629-08:002013-02-25T09:07:13.629-08:00You clearly have a valid point.

It's really unfortunate that the site with the best traffic comes at such a price to relatively smalltime sellers like us. I just wish EVERYBODY would bail from eBay and come to other sites like BidStart, who has a really good system, it's just the the traffic is so much lower as to frustrate many sometimes. But it has slowly been getting better.Noernberg Stampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167924694373782214noreply@blogger.com
