Getting feedback first sale conundrum

[Ledoov]

Hello, i'm new here. I posted a Rolex for sale on the forum, but i'm finding it hard to gain trust for very understandable reasons.

What are some points you can guide me with on how to gain trust from buyers, and get my first review so this gets easier over time for me.

What payment methods do you recommend so that both buyer and myself are covered? Is PayPal still the best way? i just hate handing over 3% to them.

What outside forums, recommendations, Linkedin profiles or whatever can i share to re-assure people?

thank you

Hey Eric....I'd read over there rules in the for sale section, think you are allowed to bump your own thread once a day. You're right though, being relatively new on here will dissuade some from pursuing the purchase. I'd ensure you're as accessible, honest and upfront as possible...and providing references from sales on other websites like you did with the cameras is a good start. You may find someone that is local to your area that will want the watch on here, I think that's you're best bet as you can meet FTF. Good luck

What else have you sold? EBAY profile and feedback? References from other sales on other forums?
