Returning To HipStamp

I decided to go small scale. The ebay sync function is not robust and so rather than deal with keeping everything in sync (I tend to edit things fairly often), I am just going to list at most a hundred items there and see how it goes. I'm listing some of my most expensive items. Those don't get edited much - keeping them in sync should be easy. They also don't sell very often, so bookkeeping shouldn't be too bad. Wish me luck.

Good luck. HIP texts me every day and I have only ever made one purchase. So at least they are doing the nudging work to get people to the site.

I will never see them on Hip either.

Since APS moved the store there I would think the site has some more legitimacy than before. I take it you are still not a fan.

Not a fan here - I get more non paying buyers on HipStamp than any other site. I dont have a big prescence there so its rather alarming the number. About ready to bail on it anyway.

Rich60 - how do you get non-paying customers on Hip? I've never been able to get stamps on that site without first paying.

I've been selling on HipStamp since its inception (and previously all the way back to when it was StampWants) and have yet to have a non-paying buyer. Granted I'm not a big player but I'm talking several thousand transactions there. Where I get the non-payers is on ebay, but still only occasionally.

BobinRye - Buyers bid and win my auctions then stiff me. Happens quite frequently to me on HipStamp - can't explain. I sell lots on ebay and probably been 2 years since I had a non-paying bidder

@Rich60 -- thanks for explanation. So your not out money, just the time lost on the auction? Or do you ship the goods after auction and they don't pay you? I don't use the Hip auctions so don't know if like the fixed prices sales, cash is due before shipping.

Not many individuals trust strangers to pay after receiving goods.

I've been selling on Hip for almost 3 years. I've never encountered a non paying buyer.
