As soon as you are approved on one of the sites, would it be a good idea to put the item up on ebay and say free shipping, and then after the auction closes then put the winners address in the free sites checkout thing? So that the item goes straight to the winner?

I would suggest not doing this.

some people have had their account put on hold even when being STV or in the processing stages, so it may be a bit of a gamble.

but im pretty sure ive read people on here have done that, so i guess its up to yourself.

but what your saying does make sense.

What if there were shipping issues... it would be a negative on your ebay account, is it really worth that not to have to pay shipping?

No, like Slease said, what if there were shipping issues. And most sites don't ship immediatley. There's some time of waiting, and I'm sure the buyer does not anticipate waiting all of that time.

And also if they aren't aware that they'll have to wait that long amount of time, it isn't fair b/c they can probably get the item faster for the same price.

what you could do, is auction it as soon as you get a tracking number or whenever you find out the date it is supposed to arrive. say in the auction that you will ship it out the day you recieve it. you dont have to say you will have to wait for it yourself.

have the auction end the day before it arrives, you get paid through paypal, transfer it to your bank and then use your own money to hip it out the same day it arrives.
