half.com risks?
I just recently starting selling items on half.com this week.....most of them were grabbed up within an hour of me posting them.
i have a couple orders with people who have suspicious feedback...what kind of protection does the seller have if they send with delivery confirmation?...if they do a chargeback will I end up out of the item and out of the money as well?....
I got burned with paypal a while ago, and don't want to get burned this way again

The beauty of Half for the seller is that you don't have to worry about buyer's with crappy feedback. Once a buyer purchases something from you, Half will immediately charge that person's credit card. You ship out the item as promised. Then Half pays you on a monthly basis. You don't have to worry about getting money from the buyer at all, Half does. They are like a money "buffer".

If the buyer complains to Half.com the item was never received they may give them their money back and debit your account. If you do confirm then you might want to consider purchasing insurance if it is something of considerable value.

However, it has been reported that USPS delivery confirmation is adequate proof to satisify half that the item was delivered. I cannot personally confirm that. Maybe you should send them a direct question.

The only thing risky about selling on Half.com is that if a buyer claims they never received the item or it's damaged you'll lose every time.
Delivery confirmation is useless because it doesn't say who received the item. You'll still lose.
