I've seen pictures of him with his shirt off.

There is no way he has ever eaten a tub of popcorn.

Is it a buy-it-now listing that expired and re-listed? I believe the BINs auto-relist every 30 days or something like that if they don't sell.

Good suggestion, I checked and that item did expire yesterday, but there are 2 other items that I put up that same day. So who knows.

Can somebody explain this? It says I have used 1 of my items this month. But I know that is impossible. I haven't put anything up this month. When I click to see what item it is I get a book that has been on ebay since January.

It's really no big deal, because there is no way I will use the other 249 items this month. But it is very confusing.

EBAY PET PEEVE-

Sellers who list the covers of coverless books.  I get why but it drives me nuts.  

 

Borderline false advertising. 

Like a couple of others in this thread, I have a short box of my most cherished books. 

It's based on value, age, books signed by creators that are no longer with it and perhaps some sentimental value. I have already accepted that if the house catches on fire I'm grabbing that box and the rest will just have to go up in flames.

Does anybody know how to turn off the immediate payment option? I've got a buyer that wants multiple items but can't purchase them and wait for me to send an invoice with the combined shipping discount.

This sounds like DC's version of Roger Corman's Fantastic Four.

Sucks that we will never get to see it. I was looking forward to it.

I really liked it. I binged the whole season today, but I'm sure there are things I missed because I was working from home today. So I will have to watch it again.

I overheard a conversation from a guy whose neighbor knew someone that read an unauthorized biography about an elderly lady who remembers backstage after her kindergarten play a story her great-grandfather told her classmate's mother where he was told by somebody, whose name he couldn't recall, that sometimes a "thumbs up" is used like "flipping the bird."

Mod notified.

In some countries it is.

Question for the group. How long do you think you should wait before refunding a buyer. I mailed a book off on 7/5 and the shipping has not been updated since 7/9. The buyer is now asking for a refund. I know it should have arrived by now, but I think it's a little early.

BTW, this was about an $8 book and was shipped medial mail so I'm not going to go hungry if I do refund it. I'm just afraid that as soon as I do refund it the book will be delivered.

The best thing that has worked for me is to add the year of publication. For example "defenders 5" 1972.

This is what I do too.

Did anyone else notice that the media mail rate went up? Just noticed it myself

I always enjoyed reading letters from T.M. Maple and Kent Phenis.

I assume he's playing himself. Or a character based on him.

LOL - it was my opinion; no fixing needed.

Munson was taken too soon.  There's no telling how his career would have ended up had cruel fate not stepped in.

As for Berra; he was top-notch, both as a man and as a player.  I think he was a bit underrated, if such a thing is possible.  Casey knew - he put Berra on his all-time team...and left Mantle off that list.

Out of curiosity, who was on his team? I'm trying to figure out who the 3 outfielders better than Mantle would be. I assume DiMaggio is one.

To me, first appearance is more important.
