Hi

I recently recieved my 360 from freepay and now have 2 360's on my hand. Obviously one is good enough for me and I do not need the second one delivered by freepay.
My intial reaction was to sell it on ebay. After doing some research however I realized it may be difficult as I have never sold anything on ebay and have no user rating.

Guess my questions are

1) how can I get a decent rating in a short period of time so I can sell the box
2) does anyone have a good user rating on ebay and willing to make $50.

I'm happy taking in $350 for the sale.

I would be more than happy to sell it for you. I have 61 rating.

Or an easy way to get ratings is buy some ebooks for $.50 or things like that.

You could also see what you can get for it on craigslist.

I think I will try to buy the cheap ebooks for .50 and see if my + user rating willl help me sell the box. If I still have trouble selling it I will contact you to try and arrange it so you can sell it under your account. Thx a lot for the help

There are tons of ebooks for buy-it-now at $.01. Basically just used to boost ratings.

Yeah, I prefer to sell electronics through CraigsList if I can. Meet in a public place, and get cash for it. No worries of scammers, and no PayPal fees.

Easy.. go to iSold It. They sell it for you and they take like 10% comission.

I'd sell it for you if you want, I have 235 feedback, with about 25 being items I have sold. I have had some pretty high priced auctions, those were console system auctions(genesis, n64, dreamcast, etc).

if ur new, buying a bunch of ebooks is not a good idea. If ppl check out what u bought and they see a bunch of ebooks, they're gonna think ur not legit.

You're wrong on that. On a sale under $500 they take 30% commission [i3dcdff739b]on top of[/i3dcdff739b] eBay fees. Stay away from the 'help-you-sell' companies, they usually take a good chunk of money (for about 15 minutes of work) when it's just as easy to do it yourself and you can save some money.

I would also say stay around from the ebook type things if you're new to eBay. They give you feedback, but it's useless if someone looks at what you bought. Sometimes it can actually be a bad thing because a lot of scammers will build up quick feedback buying $.01 e-items so they can have a little feedback to get a few extra bucks when they're scamming someone.

If you plan on selling it yourself, I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. I have 176 100% positive feedback, and about 110 of those are from items i've sold.
