Hi all,
Who can tell me how to avoid C.O.P.S in ioffer? they always removed my items and banned my account without verifiying my products.

Not meaning to sound smart but I would move to a different site.

Why mess with it?

If your items are legit, as you say, there are tons of other places to sell with a few being completely free. :wink:

Your items are legit?

No wonder iOffer banned you.

I really try to remain neutral but when it comes to iOffer, RUN, don't walk....that site....I don't dare write what's on my mind about them.

I have only had this trouble with iOffer one time, and all I have to do was email them with information from my supplier proving my items 100% authentic. Never had a problem again.

Most likely, some competitor turned you in, just like on every other selling venue. I have already had this done on Bonanzle also.

Nothing to worry about if your items are the real deal.

I have had plenty of success on iOffer for the last several years. I get more item views than I used to get on eBay.

Case in point, I listed about 2000 items last evening, and by 11PM, I had about a 100 or so of them with at least 20-30 views already. Its all a numbers game.

BTW, I will list anywhere there are sales. If there are "fakes" or "scams" on the site, well that just sends me more customers as those sellers eventually get caught or lose buyers anyways.

So please, if you sell items, do not come to iOffer, because I don't want the competition.

Sites I sell on:

eBay
iOffer
Blujay
Bonanzle
eCrater
cragislist
etsy
my 3 own websites

Every site has it own pros & cons, including the sites I own myself. Most of the complaints about venues I have seen on PSU are 100% seller error in some way or form, either intentional or by honest mistake.

Well this is my PSU contribution for the day, unless I see someone worth inserting my opinion on.

I'm glad you are having success on ioffer. And I apologize for sounding so closed minded.

The products you sell probably make it more possible for you. I sell in electronics and for me ioffer was horrible. People would purchase, never pay, and ioffer would charge me the fees and it would take forever to get those fees back. I'm not stating there weren't some honest buyers there--there were.

I have other products I can sell on ioffer, but, they left this bad taste in my mouth because of that.

So again, I'm glad the site works out for you and it does probably work out for others as well.

GreyJaguar,

I have had my fairshare of NPB's, but they don't bother me. I just have my routine whereas I send 2 invoices, wait, and if by the end of the month it isnt paid for, I file NPB on them, leave a nice negative, and instantly recoup my money from iOffer right before I pay my fees.

I sell several product lines, that continues to widen. I have had to add additional product lines to adapt to the economy because not everyone has $400 to spare to purchase aftermarket performance parts for their vehicles.

-TomI am now selling goods in Ioffer just selling clothes, such as: polo, af.
This avoids the non-closed accounts.
A new account is very difficult to survive the beginning of the transaction must have two or more positive assessment before they can continue to sell, so I can not at the beginning of the trading profits of the sale, this will return a positive evaluation.
Also I have my own website. Allows customers to communicate with us through msn, so avoid some of the charges, thereby reducing costs.
