well, it's also against eBay rules to sell re-release posters and present them as originals , now that is a rule that makes sense ... i recently bought a chris marker dvd from a greek seller , but dvd was mailed from korea , i don't know how the eBay seller and the dvd seller work things out but i received the dvd really fast so i don't care too much about some "rules" really . as long as you get what you paid for it's all fine with me . better then to receive what you paid for this way then getting a re-release thing from the dishonest seller who actually has the actual item at his place whilst it's on eBay . As a seller i personally would never sell this way in not having the items myself here but if other sellers can work this way and all are happy then that's cool . filip Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2013 19:18:54 -0700 From: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Sellers and Consignments To: [email protected]
It is against ebay rules to list an item if you do not have it in your possession.

The interesting thing is that the seller did not actually have the poster. He had apparently made an agreement where the consignor would send it to him only if a sale was made. To me, that seems to open up all sorts of potential problems. What if the consignor changes his mind despite the fact that the sale has been made? What if the poster turns out to have more issues than expected bearing in mind that the seller has not physically handled the poster? What about shipping delays caused by the double handling? I'm just curious as to how this works. Have you come across dealers who sell posters on consignment without actually holding the posters? Have you ever consigned posters in this way? Have any sales worked out well for you?
