This is getting crazy.

0-feedback ebayer failed to pay. Go figure.

Ball is once again available.

Scott you should consign it to a major auction house instead of wasting your time with people backing out. Selling it on Ebay your paying 10% on Ebay and 3% on Paypal so it's 13% and the auction houses charge about 15% sellers fee so it's almost the same. Once you send it to them it's done, they list it and ship it and you wait for your check to arrive. Granted there is the time frame so if you need the money right away it won't work for ya but your getting guys that want a Ruth ball and willing to pay for it with an auction house. On a high end item like your ball I would think you'll get a good price. You can even have them put a reserve on the ball. just my opinion which doesn't mean anything. Just hate to see ya keep getting guys backing out. Good luck with the sale and hope your successful.

Thanks Keith. My goal was to sell a target dollar amount of stuff and then send most of my big items to auction houses, so we are thinking alike. Also, I've eliminated the tire-kicker and back-out factors on ebay by removing 'best offer' and requiring immediate Paypal payment. I'll probably do this with all of my auctions, a few at a time.
