buying through the net, it is vital that you communicate all of the
specifications to your prospective buyer to make sure that it is what they
want.  when i buy something through the net, i make it clear that i want a
return warranty in the case the product arrive unoperational.  i don't
want to buy something that doesn't work.  if you don't like this warranty
then say selling as is...people can't argue after that then.
when you are trying to sell something, always keep a record of your
prospective buyers until you sell the product.  tell your lower bidders to
wait because something has a higher offer.  if it doesn't go through then
you can contact the lower bidder.

in all fairness, people don't want to buy something that is no good, and
you don't want to sell something that you don't get paid for.  be honest
about your products.  people can't see it until it arrives at their door. 
that way you get a happy customer and you get your money for your product.
