Noticed this new member posted the following at MPF:
"I just joined this forum and I have to get something off my chest. I've
been an Ebay member for over ten years and have been collecting movie
posters since 2003 off and on. Why is getting an item in one piece or
getting an item exactly as described so freakin' hard? I don't understand it
at all. One of my pet peeves about movie posters is receiving them rolled
inside out. Do you know how hard it is to unroll an inside out poster?
Where's the common sense of it all?"
and then
"I received a package today from Ebay seller "backlotbooks", $220 total.
When the package arrived there wasn't even a cap on one end of the tube,
just a clear piece of tape over a plastic bag. When I took out the bag, sure
enough, there were the rolled posters with no protection, just bouncing
around inside the tube like a pinball. I took them out and there was of
course edge cracking from the shipment. Then the jerk sent me a wrong
version of one of the posters. I ordered the Advance Ghostbusters with only
the ghost, but he sent the advance with the words below the ghost. Not to
mention the fact that it was in trash condition and the one I bought was
excellent. The other 4 posters in the tube seemed decent aside from light
edge cracking from the transit. I told the seller unless he offered me a
sweetheart refund offer, I was leaving negative feedback on all purchases.
I've had it up to "here" with these sellers. I think I'm going to start
leaving negative feedback if ANYTHING goes wrong on the part of the seller
and prompt and equal compensation isn't offered. ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
THIS is what you eBay sellers are up against. I feel really sorry for you.
It is like running full-speed through a minefield. The question is not IF
you will be blown up, but when.
