Poka

this is the latest from friday - and yes - this was for a buyer in LA

you may be right - but UPS these days pretty much only do drivers release. and someone opening a case without reaching out first is not necessary a red flag - although anmoying. opening a case next day after shipped is a red flag though @kav pretty simple - anyone opening a did not receive case against me when status shows delivered will be blocked by me - as assume they are honest people but with higher risks of being in porch thieves territories . if someone subsequently reaches out to me - i normally say - pls contact me again once you have moved!

Not necessary a scammer - porch thieves are on the rise - especially with Signature required being delivered with Driver's release and left outside a door. I am now starting to block buyers subject to porch thieves cause I don't wish to ship to addresses where a higher risk of such is present

Looks like Tonfulle-84 does not care to show how bad the signatures are. He has a Jack Kirby sig on the front cover instead of page 1.

The way I read it is that seller protection will be reduced. Seems to me that invoices manually prepared on paypal will no longer be offered paypal seller protection. Guess PP is tired of all the FB frauds

update: ebay removed the neg fb as buyer received what he paid for according to the listing

Thanks. I try to work with my buyers - even those who are unreasonable but some people are just impossible to please

https://www.ebay.com/usr/brlum_30 Left neg feedback without reaching out. Feedback was "package was not properly packed". He confirmed that comic was received as described but gave negative feedback as packaging did not include a top loader and because there was damage to the box it was shipped in. The whole purpose of packaging well is that no matter what happens to the packaging - the comic will still arrive as sold. Guess some buyers just really hard to please. on the positive side - he did say Tks for the biz! i did send him a request to revise fb which he rejected. Now with eBay.

Seems I am in a minority but as a seller using MCS for consignments I will for the time being stop consigning more items to MCS (and I have informed Este and Conan of the same). While I price my items to sell and do auctions quite a few I do not wish to end up in a situation where I need to do a firesale. would be great if @Mycomicshop could consider to exempt sellers who generates a minimum turnover at a level to be decided by MCS from the storage fees. I also see the new policy to reduce MCS's range of slabs for consignment but will probably sell more

Do you believe in coincidences? 2 days after I declined an offer for a GFT z-rated book I got a notification from ebay that the listing has been removed as it contains adult material outside the allowed category. So obviously the listing was reported. My bad and I will rectify this and other listings. However, timing and that it is this particular listing which was reported is suspicious. When I check the counterparty I find out that it is an active boardie. so what is next - suggestions?

Do you find the 10% on final fee worth it?

nice but remember buying directly on the board - seller does not have to pay the 9% ebay fee

So eBay can get their commission. Originally I believe eBay offer allowed you to make 1 offer before they increased it to 5 to maximize their profit. like with any other negotiations - if you start too low many sellers will consider you not to be a serious buyer.

There is a reason it is called best offer

Yes - at least 600 raw comics sold past 1-2 months by the same seller. They still have at least 1 box left https://www.ebay.com/itm/Spider-Woman-1-1978-SEALED-CASE-WAREHOUSE-FIND-of-300-Comic-Lot-NM-MOVIE-HOT/163931854941?hash=item262b19985d:g:2IQAAOSw0EhdwcNu

Hakes auction ended this evening on the day of the largest stock correction in modern history. Some crazy low prices. Won 15 items, Among others got an x-men 129 CGC 9.6 for $210 and IH2 CGC 4.5 for $1300

the Voldy boards have a spy? 😁

I guess you are right - adding 5 pages to the ebay block seller thread is not good @Aweandlorder please go to the shaming corner for the next 5 min

hey - i may actually double the number of my posts here if this continues

welcome!

i know - on the other hand it keeps the number of posters down do everyone can actually easy follow ever post made - give and take

more likely an ill-planed maintenance . i am not kidding - “we are waiting for some web developers to input some codes - no ETA provided”

yes - for obvious reasons - seller is not a dedicated comic seller and secondly seller actually sells stuff

Nothing better to do now when the forum across the street (now states) is down due to a failed maintenance update and believe India has left for the weekend

for what’s worth - anyone who took @Aweandlorder‘s post serious are either new to this forum or have an issue.
