eBay and FJ

[fazza91]

If i have enough referrals for something and want to sell it on eBay and take the money, can i get FJ to ship it directly to them, without having all the FJ and my details and stuff?
Thanks in advance

I would have thought that the amount of money that you would get, minus sellers fees and paypal fees would mean that just getting the bank transfer from FJ would be more appealing and probably get you more money.

nop take for example the ipod nano 8gb, its 5 referrals (5x17) i think which equals £85. However, you can easily sell a ipod nano 8gb on ebay for just over 100 quid

That's if your lucky... then like Arctic said take out postage costs and ebay/paypal fees and your back to around £85. Plus you have the hassle of selling it!

true, but its still well worth it... about £3.50 for packaging and less than £1 insert fee on ebay. Although, its well worth it on larger referral payouts - just my opinion anyway

I dont know which item the original poster would have enough referrals for. The value of gifts on ebay will come down now that the xmas shopping rush is over. I've just looked on ebay at the 8gb nano and those that have bids are way short of the figure that you mention.

Also, what if FJ sent the item and the person claimed that he/she didnt get it? ebay would probably take their side and the original poster wouldnt get a thing.

Just to clarify, no we wouldn't do this

yeah, your right articfox - they are some things to take into consideration, but from my own personal experience ipod nanos final price is slightly over £100, its a gamble yeah - but lets face it, its 99% of the time going to sell more than £85 (hopefully hehe)

Thanks guys, I was just thinking about the PS3, as i think the 80gb version sells for quite alot more than the 85% bank transfer value!

We don't calculate cash alternatives at 85% any more - cash is calulated at a set £17 per referral on all sites except the PS3 and HDTV site (these sites are calculated at £18 per referral for cash).
