Selling Unique Jewelry Online

by Jean
(Virginia)

How do you avoid selling a one of a kind piece to more than one buyer using PayPal online? Is there a way to stop the second buyer if the item has already sold? My jewelry items are each unique and can't be duplicated. I am setting up my website, and I would appreciate an answer to this. Thanks.

Answer:

Selling One-of-a-Kind Jewelry Online

At the moment I don't think PayPal has a way of ensuring that one-of-a-kind items can be bought only once.

Your best bet would probably be to use a PayPal-friendly shopping cart that has an "inventory control system".

"Inventory control" means that when you set up your item in the shopping cart, you can enter the quantity of that item that you have available for sale.

(For a unique item, obviously the quantity you'd enter would be "1".)

When that quantity has been sold through the shopping cart, your customers will see that the item is "sold out" instead of seeing the option to "buy now".

PayPal offers a list of third-party shopping carts that work with PayPal.

Personally, I have used the E-junkie shopping cart with PayPal as a payment processor, and would highly recommend it if you decide to go the shopping cart route. It's simple, has an excellent inventory control system, and works very well.

Best of luck in selling your jewelry online!
