ebay wtf

Are you seeing the word f4y there just cos you're used to seeing it?

Looks like quite a tidy bike, but I reckon that's way overpriced.

Norman Fay Classic 1964+ bicycle

Oh well, as you were etc.

why did he change it? all very strange...

No, it's going to be the one punk who I just outbid. I'm at my limit and it's like $2 more than his last bid. I'm trying to justify bidding more because the seller is really close by, so I might be able to go pick it up instead of paying for shipping.

DVD i bought that I was pretty sure would be fake, clearly is, does a heavy pixelating thing every time the camera changes or someone moves quickly

does anyone know what comeback i have

I mean i kinda knew it was a fake because its all region but I was hoping it would at least be high quality

Ask the seller for a refund, if he or she does comply upon return of goods, negative feedback.

Report seller to the RIAA.

i think you mean MPAA.

Yes, the Pirate Police.

I'm thinkin of chalking it up to "don't buy from dodgy south korean companies" maybe it looks okay on a different screen

eBay's contact us/customer service bit is a real farce.

Firsty you can seemingly only contact them through a set of pre-prepared questions. Tough shit if yours isn't one of those.
After finding one that vaguely suits I was allowed to email them, only to receive a whole bunch of automated answers completely unrelated to my question back via email, with a statement saying that that was the close of the matter unless I replied to them again.

Frustrated! Powerless! The silent machine cannot be reasoned with...

Dunno, I've managed to ask them things on occasion, and have had personal replies...

Try Harder.

Must try harder.

Turns out I was wrong anyway. Doh!

Uh...

Good grief @ description. 0_o

No retunrs. All sales Final. Thank You.

Seems pretty reckless to sell shit that you honestly believe is haunted...

You can say that again!

I can't believe no one has yet bid on this sexually aggressive haunted doll.

Women have reported the feeling of someone climbing into the bed with them at night, and of very intense sensual pleasures, per ebay rules I can not go into detail of these encounters but I can say that they have been described as nothing less than pleasurable. The women have expressed that they had not time for concern or nervous thoughts, but instead were incredibly relaxed and open to the gifts bestowed on them by this spiritual stranger.

Well, that's my mother's Christmas present sorted.

Don't these fall foul of some kind of trade description act? Unless, of course, they are really haunted.

lol @ billy dods

amazingly enough, somebody actually appears to have bought the ugly little thing.

Has anyone been having problems with ebay? At the beginning of the months we sold a camera and after the transaction was completed, item paid for and shipped, ebay or paypal held the money for two weeks. So wehn I sold records, I used paypal's shipping invoices and still the same thing, items paid for and shipped and I won't have my money until feb 2nd. Along with ebay's fees and paypal's fees, I feel like unless a item is to sell for a lot of money or you sell A LOT it's not really worth it.

Seems like there's a lot of this going around at the moment which is worrying me slightly since I want to sell something fairly expensive on there soon...

was discussing some of this w/my sister over the holidays, she has sold on etsy in the past and was telling me that a lot of the folks she knows are just giving up on eBay... for sure the next lace I'm listing records for sale is Discogs, but that's just because the higher fees and postage bullshit of the Bay are too much for me already.

Ebay has a fairly retarded policy where "new" sellers are not paid for something like three weeks, until all of the above: you have sold $200+ worth of items, your first sale was at least 90 days ago, and you have sold over 25 items (iirc.) This started around when I sold stuff to pay for my cat's dental work, it is a drag.

It's not just for new sellers now. I've met all those criteria and I've sold things for years, but paypal is holding my money for 21 days. No negative feedback whatsoever. I'm getting ready to move to another site.

I still love ebay, but I buy nowadays more than sell. Still have loads of fantastic stuff there. I don't really need the money anymore and I don't have any big ticket items that are worth putting up there.

I steal pictures of art from there all of the time, download and file them away.

losing an auction devastates me....how was that guy faster than me??

http://www.justsnipe.com/ or something like it

sold a used football jersey that for 35 bucks (p good deal). after the auction winner won, they paid me, and weirdly a few hours later, after I'd already sent the money to my bank account and shipped the item, they asked me if I could offer it to someone else, saying their son bid on it without their permission (yet didn't explain how the money wound up being sent to me). she said she'd put it for sale online if not, and since I'd already sent it, that was that.

today, she gives me a positive rating, and then hours later sends me an email saying she was going to let her son keep it, but there's a stain that would ruin the jersey on it and is trying to get me to take it back. she weirdly says "I'm not into battles so let's be adults about this" even though I have a perfect 100% rating on eBay and haven't given her any reason to think I'm going to *battle*. The 'stain' is speck-sized, so small that I didn't see it when I examined it prior to selling it. You have to zoom in to see it, and even after zooming 500x, it's still tiny (something that might even come off in the wash). I checked the original photos I uploaded, and if you zoom in, you can faintly see it, so clearly it was there before I sent it (though I wouldn't penalize her for not seeing it in the original photo, obv, as neither did I, nor did I call it out).

she's going to try and wash it and see if it's still there. I'm guessing I should just let her return it since she could make the case that I didn't point out the speck, and even though it's small, it's probably not my place to say how 'significant' it is?

Anyone else getting told you haven't selected a payment option when you definitely have?

Is this allowed? Stumbled across this listing which seems to be someone selling mp3s of a major-label classical box set.

Seller seems to mainly sell sheet music PDFs... also shady...

I don't use ebay very often; is this kind of thing common?

Definitely not allowed but since it's listed under CDs Ebay wouldn't catch on or care unless someone complained.
