Problems with selling an iPad?

Hi,

 

I've been trying to sell an unused iPad 3 for the last 2 montths but every time someone buys it, their account is either suspended or no longer registered. Does anyone have an tips on how I can avoid this from happening? It's happened with 3 different buyers and I have to keep relisting my item.

 

Cheers

My advice would be to list it as a buy-it-now, paypal only with require immediate payment selected. 

Set up buyer requirements so only those who have phone verified can bid.   There are a few parameters you can add; number of policy violations; number of unpaid item strikes.

A lot of those fake bidders come from overseas so you can also set it so only people in certain countries can bid. 

 

 

You can set up buyer requirements via your account preferences and also on individual listings (if it's active you'll have to choose the revise option). 

 

Thanks! I didn't know i could do that so i'll give it a go

If it doesn't sell this time around i might just do that! Thanks

JUst bare in mind that the latest ipad 4 with the retina display is $789 with free delivery from Apple, so your BIN of $899 for an older model may be hard to achieve 🙂
