Reverb has been OK. I've bought and sold on it, without encountering and real mega-aholes yet.
But I definitely would say you do not get as much exposure there as a n EBAY....but you do seem to hit more of your target audience.
They also have some shipping discounts built i to the Reverb checkout, should you decide to ship that way.
If you already have a PayPal account, you can link that right up to your Reverb account the same as if it was EBAY.
ONE WEIRD PAYPAL/EBAY/REVERB GLITCH......THIS IS WACKY:. So, I happened to biy a set of Steinberger tuners on EBAY a couple weeks back. I also spotted another set on Reverb within the same hour and snagged those as well. I looked and it was different seller names and photos. I paid the next day on Reverb. I looked later that day and had trouble finding my EBAY Steinberger purchase but it freezes nally popped up. It said I had already paid. I had paid some other EBAY purchases that day, so I figured it must've been in that batch of auto-pays.
My Reverb set arrived a few days later. About a week after that I got a notice from the EBAY seller that he cancelled my Steinberger Tuners purchase without any email or reason or refund....which sort of pissed me off. So, for the first tim, I left someone negative feedback The n xt day I got an appologetic email from the seller saying he cancelled it by mistake and would ship them out. A few days later, I get a rude email from him calling me a lier, saying I didn't pay for them. So, I logged into EBAY, found my PayPal "paid" receipt for the listing and sent it to him. He said sorry. Then he emails back that he had sold the tuners already and had no more.
Just as I am about to get pissed off, he emails saying he just realized that I bought the tuners on Reverb......and he had listed them on BOTH Reverb and EBAY....under two different Seller IDs!!!!!! Confusing. But....both his accounts are linked to THE SAME PAYPAL ACCOUNT.
So......apparently, when you do that...and someone buys BOTH your same items on BOTH sites (EBAY and PAYPAL) and pays for ONE of the items....PAYPAL automatically lists BOTH purchases as PAID before you pay for the other one!! Wacky.
Because of this, I thought he screwed me and didn't issue a r fund on my second set of tuners, lited as "paid" on my EBAY account. He thought I was lying because it said I didn't pay formthe second set on his end. So we both left each other negative feedback before we figured out what had happened.
Now....we have both spent the last week and multiple phone calls to the EBAY and PayPal jackasses....who keep telling us they will remove the negs and then never do. They a,so said it was the first time they ever had that happen.
How is that for a freak occurance?
