Really why would you go anywhere else now. As a buyer Your a ebay God. Do like many others are now doing. Bid on 10 different auctions of the same item. Pay for the lowest one. Say F... the rest... Set up a new id and bid some more. Ethics on ebay.... No such thing... Its a jungle now GO FOR IT! As a seller I say this..... Forget what selling was suppose to be.... Do it like you want to.... Dont like the winner on the auction. Cancel the transaction return his money.... List it again..... Do this until ebay kicks you off set up a new seller account..... Yes just that easy

Ya that sucks to as I have tried and tried to complete my top 100 weekly 1980s list and this bands songs ellude me. Ive tried even all the downlaod sites. Nothing!

Well they have tried to start early as I had a idiot leave me negative out of the blue. That pisses me off when they dont say a word and just leave it. So being the nice person I am I returned the favor and sent him the withdraw request, Instantly he withdrew the feedback and changed ids. I dont think the guy had a clue the new feedback wasnt in effect yet.

Agreed.... I always email the buyer and tell them if they dont respond they have 7 additional days to pay before the NPA is finalized. I tell them if they do respond I can finalize it immediatel and cause a strike on there account. I leave out the part about negative on purpose so when the 7 days are up I cant get a negative

That there is a Stoner City version of Monopoly........ and Hookab are really Bongs..... and always when selling used pipes on ebay make sure there is no residue in pipe ...........

Well I learned I can post a thread that gets more than one reply

So I am kinda lost with all this reissue stuff since its been going on so long. Have any of the Hurricane cds been reissued or remaster? Im on amazon now and see this Take What You Want [EXTRA TRACKS] [iMPORT] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] being sold by 16 sellers. Label: Nl Distribution - Aug 17 2008 Over the Edge [iMPORT] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] - Label: Nl Distribution - August 6 2008 Slave to the Thrill [EXPLICIT LYRICS] [iMPORT] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] All show NI Distrubution So what is all this I just noticed that the Caroline is also there fro pre order

and on the flipside as a seller if you think you have heard it all Dont say it becuase you have not... One that stands out is the guy with 100% feedback that told me I was wrong for filling a NPA becuase he had 100% feedback and was a exception to my rules. My rules didnt count for him. Or the buyer that claimed the radio didnt work and I said send back and they replied no biggie I will just throw it away and forget about it. Scammmmmmmmmm Or the one that didnt pay and got a npa filed and decided to place more bids during the NPA Or the numerous amount of International bidders that dont read the listings and dont have a Paypal account so they cant pay Or the ones that leave bad feedback becuase it was not what they expected but was listed correctly Or the ones that pay for media mail and wonder why its not there in 3 days when bottom of listing says media mail 2-9 days or the one that claims a store bought cd is blank? Or the ones that email you not realizing all the tracking info is attached to the ebay listing and ask where the package is when they got it a week ago. or HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could go on endlessly to the things I have heard And back to the shipping........ I do sell cds 3.50 for the first one and 4.60 priority up to 3 cds so basically its just the first cd that costs the most

Now I have never had a problem with Spain(so far)........ however Italy is my top country not to ship to. I honesty dont think its the people its there postal service. What should take a week or 2 takes a month or 2. My 3rd party insurance company does cover Italy but I would rather sent to Lebanon which I have done numerous times with no problems.

Ill be the bad guy here.... I charge a standard rate of 8oz for any cd being shipped out of the USA. Same I charge 3.50 for the first cd in the USA. It equals about the same amount overrage. I will not ship a cd without the case as I dont find it safe and dont need to hassle later if it gets damaged. Cardboard liners dont do it for me and by the time I thought there was enough carboard we would be right back up to the same weight. I require Insurance no matter what. After all that I charge 9.20 to Australia for shipping and insurance. While I do understand you want it as cheap as possible for shipping I figure 2.40 extra is not gonna break anyone and there usually are plenty of other sellers to choose from. As for this really high shipping charges I concur but have a theory about that. Ill be the first to say I dont like to ship Internationally as there is no safe easy way to do it. Ya I can insure lalala but if they claim non receipt then you have to go through the paperwork and so forth. Personally I just dont have time as I do this between 10-12 hours aday almost everyday. The extra work doesnt bother me but my time is limited. I only allow International bidders becuase in my experience they push the prices up on some items. I suspect other sellers may also realize this. Also I dont know how many times I have had buyers bid from other countries and never ask shipping until they win. There are some shady sellers out there that take advantage of that even though the buyer in all rights needs to ask these questions before bidding. Bottom line is these guys dont care whether they sell to you or not and in return you shouldnt be buying from them Also on the condition of booklets/inserts/scratches........... Back in the day before I new how big rare cds where I also couldnt understand why in the world a fold in a booklet mattered. My experience now allows me to answer that but back in the day I did everything to avoid these buyers. Why becuase condition is graded different by everyone and that caused problems. I never thought of a cd as collectible back then only that it played fine. Problems I dont have time for and would rather not sell the item if that could be a issue. By the way my spelling is horrible:) Personally I find it funny when a see a seller charging 25.00 but more funny when I see people continously buying his stuff.

Agreed Never leave feedback first if you are a seller. Buyers rep means didly but a sellers feedback means everything. The secret to this kind of buyer is file a NPA on the 8th day. If he responds you can end if you desire and it puts a strike against his or her account. That option still allows them to leave feedback. Now if they dont respond to the NPA after 7 days then you can leave feedback but they cannot. That option takes 14 days. Ive had more bad buyers in the last 6 weeks than I have had in 7 years. My patience has run thin veryyyyyyyyy but I also no how ro work the system very well and most buyers dont. For me I keep this thought........... There are way more good buyers than bad. Negatives cannot be avoided due to the amount of FREAKS roaming the net.

The Key words here are the 3rd Party insuring as Dan told me awhile Back. As a seller this is essential to International shipments. Hell I do this not only on First Class mail but all shipments. This way I am double covered on Priority and up both by the Post office(Ya Right) & the 3rd Party insurer. NOTE: I did read on ebay the other day that you cannot require to abuyer to pay for 3rd party insurance .... However I automatically add this into the shipping cost when I quote it. You can Blame Ebay for alot of this......... Theres alot of shit to know when selling on EBAY and if they would spend alittle more time explaining this where people can see it easily instead of searching endlessly through ebays help system there would not be so many problems. I dont know about Dan but having sold to 6000+ people 99% of the time you can tell when a Buyer ot seller is being honest or when something seems wrong. It can be in the way they word there messages or reviewing there history through feedback, ect. Paypal should have Red Flags flying so People see this.................. Paypal - Shipping to APO address - When you ship to a adress like this you must have a customs form... When you print the label through Paypal NO WHERE does it tell you this. Expect your package returned with return charges plus you pay to ship again.

Whats even sader People will continue to buy from him HA! Its a circus

I wouldnt buy from this person. 8 negatives - 5 users and 3 neutrals out of 300. Looking at the people who left feedback also confirms i wouldnt buy from them. Looks like they are hit and miss and you are one of the hits.

Welcome Rafo

Ditto on the Italian postal service. Either there is alot of fraud or they postal service is the slowest in the world. I too do not ship to Italy. Hell even my insurance provider has a clause giving that specific country 15 extra days over the normal 21-30 days to file a claim. Something you might not no but recently I talked to paypal and asked them if they track these people making claims and they do. I now request any buyer I think that may be commiting fraud to file a claim against me just so there is a record of them on Paypal. Ive already had 2 that refused to file claims.... Makes you wonder?

Im undecided on that.... as Mine is now 18 and Im only 38. Dont know yet if I should have waited or if this works out better:).... I will say this... It seems they are alot harder to raise after they turn 18

Refering back to my post on Belkin. I did alittle search today on Walmart.com for routers. I called all the companys to check the customer service/ Tech depatments... All either are contracted out of the country or They charge you a fee for tech support. What is up with this shit! No offense to our International Rockers out there but it is a nightmare to deal with people you cant understand or they cant understand you. Half the time they have no clue. Anyway I said screw it and called my ISP and paid 149.00 for the router. My first question to her was am I going to be charged a fee for help and are you all based out of the USA. I no this is nothing new but a few companys have woke up and do not do this. For instance I cannot say enough good about earthlink. These people no there shit.... Remeber back in the day when Dish and Directv used to contract out. I dont think they do this much anymore but I could be wrong. Anyway just a heads up to anyone thinking of buying electronics.

Well what they need is a self checkout line like Walmart were you can just do it yourself. Basically thats how my post office works. I go in tell them the postage leave the money and on my way. I just dont have time for them to dig that 1000+ page book out to figure out International postage. I've sent packages to islands around Europe even I never heard of.

I've had a few singers I wished I could do that with... I learned that even if I leave really REALLY early for work in the morning, I will STILL manage to end up behind the one other person on the road who feels they shouldn't have to drive anywhere near the speed limit, and hits their brakes constantly for no apparent reason... Where'd you get that PS3 at that price?!? I still want to get one. I got lucky and saw it on a local classified site. Im not real fan of buying used electronics becuase no warranty but for the price I couldnt resist. In all honesty the wii is a much better system. So far I havent seen anything that makes the PS3 graphics any better. Now I think PS3 was aiming to win in the long run but wii has kicked it up a notch and PS3 may never catch up. By the way everything i said about the PS3 and how hot it gets is true. Just having it turned on setting there cuases it to get decently hot. I am going to purchase the XBOX 360 here in the next few months. I figure what the hell might as well have them all. I do have a advantage though I can write these off my taxes as test equipment for games I buy at auctions - Since I am a ebay seller.

1. When buying electronics of any kind - Call the toll free help line first and make sure that you can understand the person on the other end(Nothing pisses me off more than these companys contracting out the customer service to other countries). After talking to Belkin today about my router I finally gave up and said its cheaper to go buy another and sure the hell wont be a belkin. These guy top my list of the absolute worse company ever. You no they offer a premuim service. You pay 22.95 and they will move you up to the front of the call list. 2. I already have a Nintendo wii but anyone out there planning on buying one for Christmas better start looking now as I cant find one within 60 miles of me. Its still 4 motnhs until Christmas. I already own one but wanted another 3. Another game system the PS3 which I bought at a super low price today of 200.00. After almost a year out there are less than 15 games avalable? what the hell! 4. After trying to figure out why in the hell my new speakers didnt sound right i figured out I know nothing about stereos. I couldnt figure out why the music was so loud and the singer could barely be heard in background... Needless to say the settings for theatre, ect. werent right and I had no clue you could actually separate the singer from the music.

Any star like this needs to do a least a year of prison time.... Its unbelievable with the fucking much money that cant find something legal to do. With that much money why not go over to another country and do it legally. Isnt like they dont have the money to get there and back. For all those that like to drink and drive. Go out buy 1000 acres of land make ya some streets and drink and drive all you frinkin want to. Those people deserve all they get. Maybe that much money makes you stupid and you cant help but act like a idiot.

This is correct.... How do I know... Well I had a buyer do it to me on some records... All you need to do is find a local shop that sells cds and have them hand write on there letter head that it is a bootleg. Just some hobby shop that sells cds will do.. Once you have that Paypal will side with you no questions asked. It was a real shitty deal for me becuase Paypal didnt give me time to go to my local hobby shop and verify that it wasnt a bootleg. Once they had that paper case closed. I didnt even no about the paper until after it was done. The guy was a huge dealer out of Memphis that new ever shop in town. Didnt make shit whether it was a boot or not I was gonna lose. Funny I sold that record to 8 other people and all said it was legitite. Anyway thats old news.... Just get a hobby shop or just some mom & pop shop to say its a boot and case closed. Anyone can be a professional dealer:) as long as they are a registered business that sells cds

This I agree with totally! Without going into much detail Check out the coolsats on Ebay:)

Actually the statement above "But I think a lot of people here are going to be surprised when they find out in a few years their "collectors" cds won't be worth anything." is not true. I too thought why in the world would anyone pay that much and 20 years down the road find its worth nothing? Having sold many different items on ebay related to music I found out real quick how high rare unknown music can go for. 2 Examples of that Jazz Records & Hillbilly rock. All Old and HIGHLY sought after due to rariety. Your talking 100s to 1000s of dollars each for this stuff. Take a look at old Jazz records or Hillbilly Rock on ebay and see what you think. It sure will change your mind real quick on whether or not Rare hard to find music will hold value. Compare that to a Rare Elvis Record and Elvis will lose. My thinking always was that 20+ years from now no one will care about this kind of music. We(not me of course:) will all be super old( Geoff, Dan, T-Bone) Ha!, that people will be only into the music of there time. Obviously that is not how it works. I think these threads get started due to the shock we go through when we realize people pay this much for cds and the fact we have grown tired of listening to the mainstream stuff and want a change only to find that we cant afford to buy this stuff becuase of the prices it sells for.
