Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Sell your Xbox one on eBay and you will lose

jaddow on 05 December 2013

Bought a Xbox one from Walmart for $529 solely on eBay for $680 with free shipping.

I paid eBay $68 thats 10 percent off the sale. paid PayPal  $19.84 thats 3% transaction charge.

The Xbox one weighs 17 pounds in the box it cost me $44 for shipping and handling.

I made less than $6  on the transaction  so how is it people are selling them for $570 on average sale on eBay today and making money?

EBay is making  more money than Microsoft or Sony on Xbox one or even PlayStation 4 sales

LOL @ game scaplers



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

EBay is a ripoff and I will never sell anything on it

find the richest neighborhood nearby, go to that areas section on craigslist. Sell it to some rich fuck spoiling his kids.

ebay gets nothing, Paypal gets nothing, shipping is either your gas or nothing if you convince him to pick it up.

You can sell anything on ebay and make money easy, I do all the time.  This is just showing the stupidity of console scalpers.

Yep and I was stupid enough to follow them should've kept my Xbox one

That's why I'm never going to sell a new product on ebay ever. It's good for selling old stuff you aren't going to use anymore. If you ever do something like that again, make them pay for shipping, or use craigslist. Netted $125 for my PS4.

Well you began wrong by buying a Xbone, how did you expected for it to turn out??? Thank god Xbone is not locked on used anymore...

I was half joking.

Should have sold a picture of the box, heard that works well.

Seriously though, my pity could hardly be any smaller. You didn't make much money trying to fuck people over, tough luck.
