Need Advice whether I should use Ebay to sell tickets I am stuck with
May 18, 2012 06:25 AM

I sell on ebay but never thought to sell something risky as tix to an event.  I was going to use Stub Hub, but I dont think  I can.. reason is, that I did not get Hard Copy Tix or UPC bar code. What I received is 3 vouchers for 3 tix to a concert in NYC ( I am in Philly)  included with each ticket is a limited release Litongraph of the band as a bonus. I bought 3 tix for my daughter for Christmas to take 2 friends.. now her school rescheduled final exam on that day, Since we live in Philly its hard to find someone here that wants to take a school day off to go to NYC when same band is coming to Phila 2 weeks later.. Ok LOng Story short. I see that some tix for this band/date have been sold on ebay recently. I am willing to go a little lower than the recent price and lithograph is included. BUT.. since I only have voucher numbers, will someone avoid this. I talked to GILT CITY who I bought the tix from , and I am able to call GILT and give them the new name of the buyers for assurance.   Im thinking PayPay would protect a buyer if they felt they were going to get burned..

 

anyone have thoughts/input on this.. Is this  bad decision? What risks am I taking as seller that buyer could claim voucher wasnt a ticket.

Totally new to this and usually discussion boards find expert opinions that I value

Thanks in advance

I would be careful. I sold event tickets and am worried as anything because I think I have been scammed. The choice is urs but it's a risk and paypal always sides with the buyer.
