I don't have an eBay account but want things on eBay.

How do I get shoes off eBay without an account?

I post a message here saying something like this...

"Rod Laver Black 11" closing in 3 hours for only $10 plus Shipping!

I'd pay $30 for these shoes if anyone gets them for me. You could even have them send the shoes straight to me to save on shipping and I'll paypal you or send you payment in the mail, whichever you prefer."

I THINK THIS WILL HELP SAVE THE FOOTBAG COMMUNITY MONEY ON SHOES AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. :D

Interesting idea, but couldn't someone just sign up with eBay? I've never really liked the idea of a middle man, but if this works for someone then more power to them.

(This should probably be moved to FOR SALE and maybe stickied at the top since it will be the master thread, if this whole thing is going to fly)

i use ebay all the time and i love it! Everything is always cheaper, and i just sold my crappy camera for 150 so yeah, I LOVE EBAY :D

Its incredibly easy to make an account, all you need is a credit card and you can make one. It takes 5 minutes and dont be lazy, because no offence but noone will wanna do that middle man thing. If you can paypal someone the money just sign up for an account. That way u can just bid urself instead of having to find a new "middle man" everytime u want a new pair of lavers.

THE MIDDLEMAN MAKES MONEY

Unfortunately some people aren't 18 or don't like credit cards or come from countries that aren't included in eBay.

Sometimes it's worth paying extra to the middleman to save money. This way both the 15 year old buying shoes for $40 and the eBayer buying them for the kid for $20 both gain money compared to buying a pair from the World Footbag Association(WFA) for $55.

I think this is a great idea and it would help everyone out

I've played the middle man for free several times

I'm for it and would be willing to participate

I'm pretty sure I can do this middleman thing, seeing that i always do so with Mr. Sandbags. It just gets annoying sometimes to contact the other person sometimes in setting the deal in stone.

Also, I'm pretty seasonal when I do this. I'm pretty much too busy to do things like this in the Fall and sometimes in the Spring. Winter/Summer are no biggie to me.
