  1. It's 9.20 am The phone icons back! Yay! After 10 minutes of waiting and annoying waffle. 'We are closed. Our hours are 8am to 8pm. Monday to Friday. Please call back during those hours" It's 9.20am. On Monday. Paypal should be open. They are not. My 'paypal assistant' message is still open and running - been 36 hours now. No reply. Paypal, how I hate you.
  2. They were back up for about 16 hours - could not get through queue. Phone icon now gone off Paypal Australia (Phillipines) again yesterday and today. I'll try again Monday. Sick of it tbh. Surely it can't be hard to have a system whereby a tracking number is auto-checked and when shown as 'delivered' - issue the damn refund. I'm waiting for the "They sent me a dead cat back, and not my comics" defence. The books.... These look 'never read' to you?
  3. How hard is it to see that this has been delivered? Seriously. Screw you Paypal.
  4. Just thought I'd mention that my complaint has still not been sorted. Scammer has his comics back, and still has my money. Paypal still don't have phone contact, and I have been unable to speak to anyone via email or text for 10 days. I hate paypal. I hate the scammer more, but that's not the point. I pay the fees to be protected. I'm not, because they have zero customer service, and could not care less. I'm amazed they are still in business.
  5. You guys have it good. Everything we post here has to be done by hand, so I use a courier for larger orders. The stuff from the Post Office - I have to pick it up (mailers, bags etc). So there is no point printing a label as I still have to go get a bag / box from PO. You guys get stuff delivered for free yes? I wonder if ebay here have taken the lack of useful postal service in Australia - if I have to print a label for everything, then I still have to go to the PO to get the mailer / bag. Just been invited, so will this week - we were due to do this 2 months ago, but the system failed. Lets just say I have no confidence in ebay Australia...but glad to get rid of paypal!
  6. Yeah, looked that up. ThaNKS. Very 'cool' - if that's the word for 2 mass murderers posing together - but I hope you know what I mean. You feeling better Dude?
  7. Good Lord, can you imagine the value of those if they were unseen originals? I assume LUCE was the magazine they were printed in? Amazing find - and eclectic to say the least!
  8. I remember when this thread was about stuff people found and bought, not the 'possibly being a joint consignor' or 'I might go look at something'. thread Don't mind the cool / rare stuff like the drawers above or old toys / clothes, or even those incredibly cool bunch of keys from 'The Glory Hole' hotel I think they were that @Junkdrawer found? (Post the pic again if you have it? - very funny) Maybe it's the bloody ongoing Police curfew making me grumpy!
  9. The 4 boxes arrived - one had end torn off completely, others had bad damage - note to Aussie Boardies, don't use StarTrack who are actually worse than Hunter (I didn't think that was possible) $275 USD Heavy Metal - 1977 - 2007 complete. Plus big pile of special editions. Xoneneox #1 and #2, FAAK hardback, anniversary issues, Horror, War Machine, Havok, The Venus Interface, Son, Bride, Crossroads and Even Heavier. Samurai Specials x 2. All Tip-In Cards still attached. Epic collection. Year 1 (1977) also had 4 doubles, and #1 itself presents well, but probably only a 7.0 250 mags for $275. After the Wonder Woman haul,a good week indeed. Long may it continue!
  10. Here's one: ryno2342 Scammer. Avoid.
  11. Hi Someone pointed me this way for a Newt (Carrie Henn) Aliens book, and Gal Gadot WW book Too late? Thanks
  12. If the full size Deadpool statue and full size arcade game is thrown in, then you'd probably only lose half your money. If there was anything good, it would be shown. The fact that the 1st app of Typhoid Mary is the 'best' book shown (current 90 day GPA $68) speaks volumes. Avoid unless you can inspect in person before bidding. If you win - I'll make you an offer for the Deadpool Statue!
  13. So, get a call... Wonder Woman #1 - #20 With the 3 key issues... And then...... Wonder Woman #207 - #329 inc Oh, and this lil' ol' thing... Total Cost - are you sitting down... $300 USD Her price, not mine, happy to oblige. And yes, she'd been on ebay, but wanted the cash quickly for something else. My lucky day! Stay tuned, 4 boxes are heading my way - not as glamorous but possibly very rewarding...
  14. I gotta say the size of those people clinging to the skyscraper seem a bit wrong to me. Unless they are 41 ft tall of course...
  15. So, you get ones that go bad, and some that are OK. Simpsons #1 - #60 plus assorted randoms (already sold some before pic)
  16. Resolution of my complaint has now been pushed back again - now to 15th Sept. No comms from paypal, no way to contact them. Phones go direct to voicemail No live chat Messaging not answered The on-site pay-pal community board is awash with the same complaints: No way to contact them Random account freezing Money 'on-hold' with no way to access it In Australia and New Zealand paypal currently appears to be automated fully. I have withdrawn all $$, am moving to managed payments when ebay here starts it in Nov/Dec and will be using my CC for all purchases to get bank protection. Meanwhile the CEO withdraws yet more $$ by selling more shares. I have a very bad feeling about paypal What other alternatives do you guys use for international funds transfers?
  17. I'm glad you can talk to someone. My 'claim' was just pushed back a week. Soon be outside the 45 day limit - meaning I have to go to the financial ombudsman as the claim will 'expire' This is happening to too many peoplr. Seems like Paypal is in it's death-throws and wants to hang on to as much $$$ as it can. Ebay leaving was probably the end for Paypal.
  18. Should have stopped at season 1 Kreese being introduced has totally ruined it. Season 2 3/10
  19. You can't now. They are a bloody disgrace. Bought some comics (not ebay) that were trashed, opened claim - no response from paypal. Been under review for weeks - cannot get them via phone, do not answer emails, do not have live chat currently. I've removed all funds just to be on the safe side. Something seriously wrong at paypal.
