Since I know I've got you all on the edge of your seats... I'm $30 in the hole on this non-sale so far, thanks to Reverb collecting and keeping the shipping charges. (Note: Reverb sold me the shipping, and provided the shipping label. To a verboten destination.)

That's some serious bullshit. How the hell can they take fees from you when you're having to refund the seller because of a shipping problem? Wow they suck.

Reverb is terrible but outside of local sale, it's the best we have available imo

I’m wondering if I should try chasing them around about it this week. Not sure $30 * probability of satisfaction is worth the (additional) spikes in blood pressure.

I will say this: simply selling to those clowns at GC for pennies on the dollar is looking better and better.

How is it selling on facebook marketplace where you are? I don't have an account and have to use my wifes. You get some time waster emails and low balls but I've found it a lot easier and stress free than ebay. Plus once it's sold it's sold, there's no coming back after a few months with buyers remorse and using ebay distance selling regs to force you to refund.

It sadly is.

The number of times I had to crumble and use it to sell to someone on the opposite side of North America because there was no local interest.

I can’t be bothered shipping stuff anymore. If something won’t sell locally, I just keep it or trade it in at a store toward something else. Far less hassle.

I recently shipped an EVH 5153 2x12 Combo. That was soooooo not fun.

Contact reverb customer service and they might hopefully refund you. As much as people complain about reverb, I have sold probably 30-40 things on there with no problems. Mostly pedals but a few guitars, a couple microphones, one amp. I never would have found local buyers for all those things, Craigslist is full of flaky low ballers. My main complaint is that they aren’t very transparent about their fees at the time of sale. You should get a detailed breakdown of the fees charged every time something sells. But they will if you contact customer service.
