I am also having a difficult time being paid for a saddle recently sold by a very well-known consignment shop (not TM). What’s the deal? I’m going to give them one more week before I blast them. I’m sorry you’re also dealing with this!
Could you DM me the name?
Same happened to me and a few friends, we all dropped off some stuff and never heard back until someone told us she closed up shop. She made no attempt to get in touch and give us our things back.
I use the groups on FB and price decently to move things. Sometimes things don’t move quickly. So, I take new pictures, adjust the price, or use another venue. I still use consignment shops for items and I was very lucky to be in NoVA where those are plentiful.
Most items I pick up or sell for others move quickly. I’m very honest about what they can get for an item and if it will even sell. Most people just want it out of their barn. I used to do tack booths for items like cheaper boots, polos, non popular bits, and cotton sheets. That stuff isn’t really worth selling online, but for cheap prices at sales, it usually moves and I make back my booth fee and then some. That or I donate things that I know won’t sell.
I was a power seller on ebay for years, doing clean outs for people with their horse tack. Had some good success and moved over to FB when that became popular with selling (2013ish). I agree with others about some of the policy changes on ebay. I don’t use it often anymore.
