hi, i definitely agree that sellers should buy for return shipping when they
mess up , that's an option when you sell on ebay , all my auctions have the
option " seller pays return shipping " But then some days ago i had this
buyer who received a vinyl record (NEAR MINT) but contacts me to say it has a
big scratch and he wants me to refund him 50% ... as i know for 100% sure my
record was near mint with no scratch it's clear that this buyer wants to get
his item for half price (with how many sellers did he have this work as many
sellers don't want negative feedback etc...) i tell him : not happy , return
for full refund , i pay your return postage too , well , he refused , opened a
case with ebay and left me negative feedback , pissed off because his scam
didn't work with me . I advise all sellers to beware of these 'not in the
condition as mentioned so partial refund please ' scams , go for a full
refund after return so these losers calm down on ripping off sellers . filip ,

Ah, Bruce... but that is because there are so many dishonest sellers out there
-- both on ebay and off ebay.
Its unfortunate that good sellers have to get lumped in with the bad, but the
$$$ which makes everything run -- including ebay -- is the buyer. So ebay's
protection of the buyer is what's allowed ebay to maintain it's profits and
grow.
As someone who buys a lot off ebay because I live rural and can't find what I
want locally, I shop on ebay. I've bought things like new Ugg boots & gotten 2
left sides -- yes, you read that correctly. Two sides of the same foot!!! To
get my money back, I have to pay for shipping. Also defective items. So it cost
me to shop on ebay.
If a buyer is shipped the wrong or defective item, why in the world
do we have to bear the burden of paying for return shipping?
If ebay was really pro-buyer, things like defective items returns shipping cost
or not as described return shipping cost would not come out of the buyer's
pocket but the sellers.
That would certainly eliminate a lot of bad sellers.
Whether you sell on an ebay auction or run an off-ebay auction site, there is
still a lot of dishonesty. In fact, out-right thievery.
We have had more $$$ stolen from us from one of many of your favorite auction
sites, Heritage, and believe even with ebay's fees, it's far better to sell on
ebay than risk losing your inventory in Heritage's shady inventory
procedures.

I am waiting for eBay to offer to PAY sellers to list items, and even then I
would have to think long and hard about listing there.
I know some people love it, but it is not my cup of tea. They have added so
many anti-seller rules that I would be petrified after every sale, both that I
might be scammed out of my poster, and that
the buying might leave bad feedback for me and restrict my account.

We got the invite and are selling original movie art & Star Wars items.
We do not sell cheap repro & reprints.
We sell only original art -- well, we do have copies, but these are copies made
by the production and are vintage, production used art work.
Our prices are less than what prop store sells art for -- i.e., an original
pen, ink & marker concept sketch of Judge Hershey (in her Judge's uniform, with
Lawblaster) sold
for $89. That's screen used, original concept art which, at commercial movie
prop/memorabilia sites, sells for over $400.
We have Giger signed art. Not up, but to be listed, original art by Chris Foss
for Flash Gordon... original storyboards & concept art by Alex Tavolouris, the
first concept artist hired by Lucas for Star Wars...
All
original, not cheap repro...
Of course, we had other items, like the British Quad Star Wars which --- got
STOLEN!!!! -- anyone remember this story???? Missing Quad probably was sold by
Heritage, but since we got 2 of each poster, our other Quad remains for ebay
auction...
Plus, a lot of high end items have sold at a BIN auction
within 30 minutes of listing. Some within 5 minutes of listing.
Of course, the 50K items does not apply to us because we are selling vintage
items and end up paying UK listing fees anyway.
There's no free lunch -- or at least, legal free lunches.

I got the invite, but not to list 50,000 items. I haven't sold anything on
Ebay for over a year.

Hi MoPoers
eBay currently has a promotion running where many sellers have been offerred up
to 50,000 free auction listings for about nine days up until Aug 31. This has
resulted in some sellers flooding the site with cheap repros and reprints. The
crazy thing is that the offer has been sent "by invitation only" and it seems
to have been done at random. Store sellers are not eligible so anyone who has a
store would be seeing a big drop in sales while this promotion is on.
Just curious as to whether any MoPo members received the invitation to list
50,000 items on auction.
Regards
John
