As of 4/13 - no art As of now two messages sent to seller with no response IMMEDIATELY if not sooner. If you have sent two messages without receiving a response (assuming these two messages were not sent 10 minutes ago), then time to get the ball rolling.

IntoAnother Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I don't want the money back I want the page. I hope you get the page buzz. I always treated these situations on a case by case basis. If the item is easily obtainable I would have done as you did. Most likely after the same duration of time had passed, if not sooner due to the lack of response. Yet on harder to find, or one of a kind items like OA I am more prone to let more time pass or disregard messages not being responded. With the hope of actually getting the item I really want, but I wouldn't have let it gone much longer than it already has. Sometimes sellers just don't value communication and timeliness but do wind up sending the item out at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Baru Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 How come it is considered almost taboo to leave a negative for a seller? I ask as transactions occur in which comics are shipped to me with little to no protection, customer service is never provided, and comics arrive not as described. Shouldn't those warrant negative feedback to warn other buyers about the seller in question that provided that type of service? The entire eBay banned list seems to indicate that I shouldn't for fear of being banned. Kind of weird. Corona smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire eBay banned list seems to indicate that I shouldn't for fear of being banned. Kind of weird. I do not view leaving negative feedback as taboo. It is all situational and in my opinion it is either deserving or it isn't. From my experience the majority of sellers do make an attempt to make things right. If they do not then that is when I would decide if negative feedback is to be left. Corona smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire eBay banned list seems to indicate that I shouldn't for fear of being banned. Kind of weird. I've found that sellers having all the bad behavior you describe like this are a small minority. Many have one bad habit (ie. packing poorly, poor description, rudeness, etc.) but let's be honest - everyone is human. I'll leave negative feedback only as a last resort. Generally its when a seller hasn't resolved things and forced a confrontation through ebay. As far as banned list here, I would use your own experiences and put only the most egregious cases from here. One-sided rants about someone, no matter how clear they appear, always have another side to the story. Corona smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMyAmadeus Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I truly do not understand eBay buyers. Why would someone buy a 9.2 X-Men #100 with OW/W pages for $239....when there are sellers (including myself) with copies as good or better (White pages) for less? It's a head scratcher, to be sure.

Why would people complain that my price for a book at $250 including shipping was too high? Ask me repeatedly for a discount, I refuse because I feel that it is a fair price. Someone else lists the same book in grade at auction and it climbs past $300 without shipping included. I reprice my book at $300, the same person emails me asking for the book at $250. I decline and a couple of days later the book sells at the new price of $300 shipped to someone else. I get a message again that I have basically ruined their childhood. I do not think it is eBay. I think it is some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is some people. Agreed. Like anywhere, there are lots of folks buying and selling on eBay that either need to be on medication or just aren't taking it. Years ago before eBay hid all the ID's of auction bidders, I won an inexpensive auction for a common book (in the $15 range) with a last-minute snipe. The underbidder contacted me and called me a bunch of names for "unfair bidding practices" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punksdropdirtysrh Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Made my first eBay sale yesterday. I shipped today and listed the tracking. I'm told the payment won't be made til the 17th. (From PayPal, not the buyer.) does it really take this long? I sold this for emergency $ and didn't realize it took so long. Wtf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
