Most of you know there has always been a double standard on Evil bay (E Bay).

Those sellers who are high volume and make lots of money for E Bay continually violate E Bay's policies with nary a warning word spoken to them.....

 

The average "Joe Blow" however can commit the most minor infraction and reap the rath of the Ebay Police......

 

Example: I recently posted concerning a new policy the prohibits sellers from encouraging buyers to pay with cash or use off line money transfer services, specifically "Western Union". Two weeks ago, I was listing some items and E bay removed my listing telling me that it violated their "sellers policy". I had to change language in my listing and remove references to accepting cash and Western Union......

 

Back on January 4, I purchased two CDs from a seller using buy it now. I immediately paid with PAYPAL and waited almost 6 weeks for my CDs to arrive. I e mailed the seller to inquire about my CDs and the seller told me they were on BACKORDER and had not arrived. I told the seller that E Bay sellers policy required them to sell the item that I had won. The seller in turn, refunded my payment after 6 weeks. I wrote back and told the seller I did not request a cancellation, that I in fact wanted my product per e bay policy. The seller did not comply.

 

I filed a complaint with E Bay on Feb 24. You can look at the seller's feedback and see that they are still very much in business and are continuing their same activity unbridled. This seller has more negative feedback than any I've ever seen and all for basically the same offense. Not having the product availabe they are offering to sell. Now, as I see it, this seller is using other people's money for 4 to 6 weeks or more and then returning it. Paypal's money market is now paying around 2.50% and banks are offering CDs in the 4.00 +% range. With the volume this seller is doing, they are making money just keeping other people's money in their paypal account for over a month and returning it to them.

This is the sort of activity that provokes class action suits against E Bay, PayPal and other giant corporations who are unresponsive.

 

Here is the link to the seller's feedback...........

Shame on me for not looking at the seller's feedback closely before making this purchase. Had I done so, I would have saved myself some grief.

I have noticed alot of that going on......Having things listed that are not actually in stock......I looked at both the seller's Delbert and T-Bone listed links for, and damn the negative feedback is horrible........This is why nowadays i look at the seller's feedback, and if has many negatives i do not even bother.......Also unless they are a very reputable seller or someone in which i have done business with before, i steer clear.........A couple of other seller's that come to mind are:

 

Movie Marz

a1 books

americanmediasource

inflatablemadness

mountmedia

Amazobook

 

and there are many many more.........

Geez, the more of these threads I read, the more glad I am that I don't regularly buy stuff on eBay... I tend to get outbid most of the time anyway cuz I'm cheap :) Sucks that you guys have so much trouble though!!!

Regarding to the strict PayPal policy the seller is oblidged to ship within 7 (SEVEN) business days after receiving the payment.

 

I guess technically that means you should automatically get refunded if you receive the item later and it shows postmark older than 7 days of your payment date. Not to mention this douncebag never states in the item description the items he sells are not in stock and will be ordered only after someone wins them... what a cheap and nasty practice!

    • "Broken Dreams"   Samples   
    • I don't know who this Darkstorm guy is, but he sounds pretty cool.
    • "Guitar Playboy" taken from the upcoming album "Glory or Nothing" OVERDRIVERS - ROCK N ROLL SURVOLTÉ  
    • New song 'Don't Wake Up Dead'.    
    • I really do not see me getting anything more this year, so gonna go with my final top 10, after much moving about over the last few months. I have included EPs because they were just that good, but automatic exclusions are compilations and live albums. So as good as Crazy Lixx, Bon Jovi and Ghosts albums were (obviously not Jovi's studio album), they do not classify for the list. In order: 1.       Judas Priest - Invicible shield 2.       The Warning - Keep me fed 3.       April Art - Rodeo 4.       Nek! - Exclamation 5.       Rolling Quartz - Victory 6.       Band Maid - Epic narratives 7.       Sebastian Bach - Child within the man 8.       Lipz - Changing the melody 9.       Mick Mars - The other side of Mars 10.   Fans Of The Dark - Video Priest held the number one spot from the moment it released up til the end of the year. For a band I really do not listen to much, and only bought it because signed versions were cheap, I was totally blown away. So much so that it encouraged me to complete their back catalogue. The fact it really reminded me of Painkiller, which was always one of my fave Priest albums helped.   I thought The Warning would take #1 when it was announced, but as good as their album was, it did not do enough to overhaul JP, but it came close.   Rodeo came out of nowhere. I had never even heard of the band, got recommended the song Not Sorry on YouTube and then took a dive into their other videos, ending in preordering the album. That album was so fucking good that I bought their previous two releases (which were ok, but not as good). Any other year this could have been #1.   Nek! was another new band discovered due to a YouTube recommendation. Only an EP (and they have already released a new song since then) but it's great. As a fan of Band Maid and now Babymetal as well, it's nice to hear another all female Japanese band who does not copy either of those two.   Rolling Quartz were discovered the same way earlier this year, and picked up their previous EP. As soon as the new EP was announced I preordered. Only four tracks on this EP sadly, but all of them are great. Nice to find out that South Korea can do more than K Pop.   I never would have thought Band Maid would be this low, but that is purely down to two things. This not being their strongest output (it was great, but previous albums were better) and there being so much competition this year. But fuck me, the collab with The Warning was absolutely immense.   Sebs "comeback" album really was a statement I think. This was his way of saying "Fuck you Skid Row, I can still make better SR songs that you". While obviously not as strong as the first two Skids albums, this really does sit nicely alongside them. I didn't mind his other solo albums, but this is far and away the best solo album he has ever done. Just a shame he did not put an epic Seb style ballad on it.   Lipz almost failed to make the list, as I did not think it was a patch on their debut and lacked the hooks. Repeated listens and it dug its claws into my brain. Still prefer the debut as it really was tacky bubblegum glam, where as this sounds like a band wanting to be taken more seriously.   Mick Mars was one of if not my first 2024 release and I fucking loved it. The only reason it features so low is basically it didn't get as many spins after the first month or two.   Like Lipz, Video did not hook me at first. The problem was that as I had never heard of the band and the song Lets go rent a video absolutely blew me away, I was expecting a whole album of stuff like that. Like Lipz though, repeated spins had it go up in my estimation so much that it ended up knocking Durbin off the top 10.   As a side note, these are my top 10 songs of the year: 1.       Babymetal/Electric Callboy - Ratatata 2.      April Art - Not sorry 3.       Band Maid/The Warning - Show them 4.       Fans Of The Dark - Let’s go rent a video 5.       Judas Priest - Panic attack 6.       The Warning - Six feet deep 7.       Nek! - Reigen girl 8.       Rolling Quartz - Victory 9.       April Art - Head up high 10.   Band Maid - Protect you
    • Nice to see Priest up there, but surprised Dickinson is at #1. While I know tastes differ, but I was hoping for good things from Bruce's first solo output in a long time, and I felt it was kinda "meh". Not bad, just nothing on it that was playlist worthy.
    • Judas Priest - Rocka Rolla Judas Priest - Sad wings of destiny (JP collection minus the plethora or live and compilation albums, now complete)
    • Someone's trying to cause a flame war. Surprised* it's Darkstorm, he'd never resort to that**...   *not ** yes he would
    • Dude there's massive fanbases for short women who wash big dogs and people who scrunch pieces of paper while talking softly. The internet likes what the internet likes and you'll go crazy trying to work out why some make it big and others don't... 😜
