Quick question on the bid sellers and there image listings or lack there of ? 1 1

[tonytitan]

I have been noticing more and more with the big comic sellers on ebay and there own sites the listings of thousands of raw comics and no image to

show the cover. Just the old fashioned stock image . Is it just me or is this a true lack of customer service on the sellers part. To many times i bought a comic and  it comes in what ever they deem ok.

they use the old stock image to sell you what ever they want 

 

how do you all feel about the big guys never listing true images.

I order from mycomicshop frequently.  I haven't had a problem with their grading of raw comics, whether actual images or stock images were provided.  Sometimes the grade seems better than advertised.  This is my own experience, and others may view their results differently. 

I can't speak for other outlets, haven't used them.

i wont name names but i have been burned by places numerous times without  a real image.

 

It should not be allowed on ebay to list item without a real image.

i was going to buy from my comic shop

I can understand you choosing not to purchase from My Comic Shop on eBay. However, let's put the numbers into perspective. 

During the time they accrued the 23 negatives and the 43 neutral feedbacks.... they also had 53,210 positives for a total of 53,281 sales on eBay where folks posted feedback during the same time period. That works out to be .0009 percent of feedback that is neutral and .0004 percent of feedback that is negative. 

I personally have had nothing but good experiences on MCS, but that has been my good fortune. I would also like to mention that if you purchase the same comic on their website as opposed to eBay, the comic costs less than what it is being sold for on eBay. Much like @Lightning55I highly recommend them, but I buy direct from them...and not through eBay. 

Like you, I won't purchase a comic that doesn't show the actual image of what you are buying.

As @davidtere points out, they have an extraordinary performance record, 99.9% positive though 53,301 transactions.  https://www.ebay.com/str/mycomicshop#tab2  Over 3.5 million transactions total.

There are always people who would never be satisfied, and that makes up the remainder.  You missed the big picture entirely.

i just dont like the idea of stock images.

i see your point on feedback.

 

 

[tonytitan]

and there are also tons of people who refuse to post up negatives on ebay or neutrals with fear of backlash.

 

so i would guess numbers would be higher.

Absolutely not.  There is no backlash or retaliation possible.  Sellers can't post negative to buyers, even when they richly deserve it.

It's ok to name names, if it's your actual experience and you are not happy with it.  That's what forums are for - to openly discuss issues, check the temp on topics or pet peeves, compare notes, ask questions, calibrate opinions, etc.

I think it's time.... Most tedious part of selling an item online for me.

[tonytitan]

Agreed. It's why I have an image with the tag I will post more on request.
