So, I sell a few things now and then on craigslist and occaisionally I get someone wanting me to ship my goods. It doesn't happen often enough for me to remember to put "face to face only" or something similar on the items I don't want to mess with shipping. Sometimes the buyers are obviously scammers and I don't reply, other times they sound pretty legit and I'll reply back and tell them its to big or bulky or I just don't want to ship it. Well, some dude got mad because I said I didn't want to mail something and emailed me a few times, being a jerk. It didn't really bother me, I was just curious how you all felt about shipping items you are selling on craigslist.
I will only do it if its something that will fit in a flat rate box or if it's really high dollar and I don't feel like waiting for someone local to buy it. (of course the buyer always pays shipping) |

I sell stuff on CL monthly...
If I don't want to deal with someone who emailed me I don't reply back...that is the point where they get your email address... Just ignore unwanted emails. Kind of like caller ID... And yes, I'd mail something if the items was worth it and small enough not to be a PITA... Love craigslist. |
