Hi folks, I have an atypical request that may land a nice profit for whoever is interested.
I recently acquired an out of warranty surgical TV from work (a Barco MDSC-2242). A quick google search and you will see this is a several thousand dollar screen. I have isolated the problem and confirmed the power supply is dead. The replacement part (CCB250PS24) runs for roughly $230 and I know how to fix it. I plan on selling it on eBay but the only hitch is I have $260 in sellers fees I haven’t payed from being out of work the last few months.
I have no collateral but I figured it can be done systemically so you lose nothing. Either send me $230 for the power supply or you can order it and have it shipped directly to me, doesn’t matter to me either way. Once the power supply is swapped out and I can verify 100% functionality, you can pay me the rest for eBay. In the unlikely event it still has an issue, I return the part and you get refunded and we call it a day. I have a long-standing ebay account with over 300+ bought and sold items. I will do my due diligence to make sure that purchaser is also very reputable. I planned on starting a Buy it now at $5000 and bring it down $100 per week until it sold. I will also set it to local pickup because of the size and weight of the screen, it is literally 50+ pounds. Feel free to PM or reply to this post to discuss any intricate details. By all means consider this a rough draft.
Thanks!

So you want a $500 loan split in 2 ways, one for the part and one for paying fees to re-enable your eBay account of yours, right?
Even if your offer looks tempting in a matter of profit, neither the 1st nor the 2nd loan provides a solid safety for the lender that you will do what you say that you do.
No offense but without valid collateral, the lender can only rely on your word. And even if he trust your word that you repay him, the time that you will need for selling it can be more than a lot. Not to mention that until that moment, the lender will not get a single sat while you keep earning by selling other stuff (your account will be back on track).
