Just logged onto the bay for the first time in over 2 years.
Any tips for selling stuff without getting scammed or non-paying buyers etc?

Don't send anything unless you see money in paypal, or it says in your paypal that the funds are being held until you post the item. If you see it either in your paypal or pending in your paypal you're fine. Have a read of eBay charges though, as it's fucking extortionate now.

Yeah, if you don't want to post abroad clearly state it as people tend not to read. Also, check who is bidding on your items, check for negative feedback and location.

if you dont want to sell to people abroad, change your preferences to block bids from people outside uk. i sell stuff every week and never had any problems. the buy it now fees are steep (nearly 10% of final value fee) so selling as an auction(5%) is better.
