Overseas Sellers

Hi again!

There has been several discussions among JamDealers about sellers from overseas. Most say they are scammers. What can I say, they usually are. Let's face it, to be on the safe side, don't you think we should avoid these overseas scammers? Besides, there are many great sellers right here in Jamaica.

JamDeal as you know, is geared towards buying a selling being done in Jamaica among Jamaicans. We urge our buyers never to conduct business with anyone from overseas. It has proven to be bad for business on more than one occasion because buyers who pay for items via money transfer don't usually get their item. Anyone on the site that is indeed out of Jamaica will be removed.

I know it's hard to resist sometimes when you spot that perfect item you've been wanting since forever! But no matter how great the item is or how reasonable it is priced, whether it's phones, computers, electronics or even clothes and video games; do not buy any item from overseas sellers on JamDeal.

Do you really want to send off your hard earned cash to someone you don't know for an item you may never receive? I didn't think so. So, it's agreed. No money transfers, cash on delivery is the way to go. Strictly Jamaican transactions!

As our motto says:

5 Simple Sales Tips

While we guide our buyers of safe buying tips, JamDeal also offers advice to our sellers on how to gain successful sales.

Here are 5 tips:

1. Always list your items in the proper category.

2. Make sure the correct information on what you are selling is put in your auction (price, description, etc.) - you do not want to mislead a potential buyer.

3. Respond to queries promptly so you don't discourage the buyer and end up without a sale.

4. Build rapport with buyers to allow for possible sales in the future. If they are comfortable with you they will buy from you again.

5. Be prompt in delivering items to buyers to avoid any frustration or negative feedbacks.

Follow these simple tips and you will be sure to get nothing but positive feedbacks on your profile.

We all agree that there is a BlackBerry cell phone craze these days, right? From  Curves, Pearls and  Bolds to  Storms and Torches, you are sure to find a BB of your liking when you shop on JamDeal.

There was a time when BlackBerries were just for business gurus due to its computer-like features, but not any more. With Document Editor, Video & Media Player, Browser and Camera, to name a few; this smartphone has evolved into one of the most popular cell phones out there whether you are using it for business or pleasure.

The Blackberry indeed has many features and applications that are quite handy, but it's all about the famous BlackBerry Messenger application (BBM). It's all the rage and is unique to only BlackBerry users. How many times have you heard, "What's your PIN #?" So, I am going to share a tip with you. Recently I found out an easy way to access your PIN. In any message box on your BB, just type "mypin" and press the space bar, and your PIN # appears!

Thanks to Research In Motion (RIM), we have BlackBerry smartphones and they are all available on JamDeal.
