Ebay, Light Of My Life, Fire Of My Loins, My Sin, My Soul

so, i don't sell to brazil. nothing against brazil. but i've sold a handful of records to brazil over the years and in every case i either didn't get paid or the record never got there. so i've got these brazil people CRYING to bid on stuff i have up and NONE of them have ANY feedback! one guy crying was telling me what a great ebayer he was and he started his account two weeks ago!

sorry, brazil. buy some other stuff and we'll talk...

:(

i blocked italy too. just for the hell of it.

and when i sell reggae i block the u.k. and tell real people in the u.k. that they can message me if they are real and i will put them on my fancy I AM A REAL BRITISHER REGGAE FAN list and they can bid.

cuz the fake u.k. reggae bidders are a pox on the universe. BLOODCLOT! I KILL YOUR WHOLE FAMILY YOU SCURVY DOG!

god, fake reggae bidders are the worst!! there is a website dedicated to stopping that guy/those guys.. forget what it's called.

my system works good. i don't sell much reggae to the u.k. anyway. mostly japan/france/california.

i mean nobody is offended or anything. they understand.

has anyone had bad dealings with cdandlp.com? I just bought a record from france that is usually a very pricey one that was marked down. I asked if it was a repress and dealer said no. I also read somewhere online that france sometimes has problems with their postage system?

italy has problems with their postage system. french bidders apparently have a bad rep for paypal chargebacks

at least according to waxidermy

Why do the fake bidders focus on reggae?? Is there some sort of scam going on, or are they just dicks?

jah told them to.

I think it's some sort of artificial boost to Reggae prices.

explain the "fake reggae bidders" phenomenon to me. are they an organized group? do they have a political party?

They have changed the lyrics of "punky reggae party" for their own use.

yeah i don't think it has anything to do with boosting prices. they just really want to annoy reggae buyers and sellers for some reason. maybe they think the music should be free like the three little birds on their doorstep.

My Andwellas Dream LP is at £400 with 7 hours to go...! That's actually not that high for this record but still what a score - thanks again for the heads up Scott!

you might be surprised by what happens at the end. and no problem. just stop fake bidding on reggae records. i know it's you!

muhahahaha

Talking of which, I tried to look at the FakeBidderList.org.uk and it's locked down with user and password, so you can't even see the list of fake bidders. Which seems a bit counter-productive.

i think they change their accounts all the time anyway. they would have to.

not vinyl, but y'all might dig:

The Andwella's Dream LP is now £662 with 3 hours to go... getting exciting now!

"why dont we go back to my place and listen to some stockhausen on eight track?"

Ralf and Florian 8 track - hilarious!

kinda wish i could just buy them all, tbh

Ralf and Florian 8 track
OMG

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wow Poo just made $1,311.32!!

holy

I bet your grandpa never imagined buying records back then would have that kind of return?

OMG, amazing

good going. told you about the last minute thing.

be great if it was someone close to you. you could hand deliver.

okay, talcum is up next with his vita nova score the other day. start it at 300 pounds and see what happens.

wow, poo~

most i've ever made was $150 bucks on an andre williams 7" iirc

congrats!

I'm happy it went to this guy, he's bought a bunch of psych records before and if all else fails I can always send Tuomas round.

Paid already - now I've got the fear about all this Paypal dodginess that's been going around, is there I should watch out for? I'm pretty sure he's legit, but I've never traded in anything like this amount on Ebay before. What's all this Chargeback stuff?

some things are out of your hands. did you make him pay for insurance and all that? you should be covered.

I still haven't gotten all of the money for my last ebay sale, which was Jan 14, even though I've received positive feedback on all items except one. Tomorrow is the date when I'm supposed to have the money. I don't even want to sell on ebay anymore. But you have a higher rating than I do and with your higher number of sales maybe you won't have the problems I did.

Well, I put that I would ship with insurance, but he paid the max amount Ebay would let me put in, not the amount I put in the listing

But really at that price, I'm not gonna quibble, it's going out with insurance

Yeah I've been on Ebay since '99 if they have any problems with me I'll be slightly annoyed

with something like that, i, myself, would spend the extra money and use Fedex and have it sent as fast as possible and hand-delivered.

also for the total sales I had ebay charged me $24 and paypal charged me $11. I know that's not a lot, but still it pissed me off. it's like almost 20% of what all of my records sold for. Granted I'm not a record seller and maybe this is usual, that everyone takes their cut.

I'm going with special delivery signed for with insurance, that should do it? I could look into a courier but dunno if that's much of an improvement?

OK I'll spend some time tomorrow looking into any pitfalls of special delivery international, must admit I'm sighing some relief it's not going to Italy.

btw what's a good price to pay for Bob Seger's Brand New Morning? Is it worth paying more than $20? I heard it was his folkie record?
