Demand better when buying on ebay.

[Demand better when buying on ebay.]

So, who put the gun to your head to force you to buy it?

[Ebay cherry picking search results?]

Ebay sucks now.  They are changing the search you are using to a specific category so the item is not showing.  How stupid is that of ebay. 

[ALOT of stuff for trade - full lists inside : Consoles, Games, Signs, Posters, Arcades etc..]

What a collection for trade.

[Red sea crossing]

You could post pictures here and get better assistance.  I believe someone reprinted this with the exact labels at some point.  A little background as to how you came about it and what else was included would be helpful.

Thats always been my understanding if the seller wants the item back they have to send you a shipping label. But i believe you have to file a dispute to allow them to do so. Unless they offer to somehow send you funds directly.

Not possible to send a label through ebay on international sales.  Seller has to send funds to buyer and buyer has to use that money to buy label and send item back.  Just happened to me. 

 

I believe a full refund including the $26 is warranted in this case.  $26 is way too much for a game gear game to America from the UK.  I would request the $26 back since you received nothing of value for the transaction.  If he does it, no feedback is warranted on your end.  If he does not open a case with ebay (which you may or may not win).

 

[How long have you been a member of eBay?]

October 1997 and I regret ever joining the site.  If I could go back in time I wish I would have never found it.

[Arcadia Supercharger Prototypes - Help]

Never seen these either.  I would think $2000 is a bit low for everything.

[E-Bay lots of buyers abusing INAD BE CAREFUL SELLERS]

Ebay screws honest sellers.

[MK8 Limited Edition from Nintendo World NYC?]

Any pics to show the wear?

 

[What kind of feedback should I leave for an undisclosed dead save battery in a Game Gear cart?]

If you feel you got a good price for it and want to keep it, I think leaving anything but positive feedback would not be fair.  Not leaving any feedback would be the best option. 

[Mike Tyson's Punch Out SEALED]

Looks original to me.  Who told you it was a reseal.  The horizontal H seam is difficult to do and is rarely used on reseals, especially 20 years ago.

[how to get ebay to change return shipping?]

Basically you are screwed the way ebay is doing returns now.  Those will also count as 8 strikes against you and your items will be hidden from view in searches without you even knowing it unless you are a thousands of items a year seller.  Ebay has the worst customer service I have ever dealt with by far and I have had to contact some real stinkers through the years.  Ebay tries to be like Amazon but Amazon sells trillions of dollars of items worldwide and ebay sells $0 relying upon other sellers hard work to make money.  You think they would realize they need to treat sellers fairly but they do not.  They have been hurt with local sales using FB marketplace, letgo etc...  I do believe I will live to see the day that ebay becomes just another website and not one that most people think of for reselling.

Hopefully that bag around the Gauntlet and Malagai is non-static.

Here is the shopgoodwill auction if anyone wants to see it:

[Atari vs. Telegames Back in the Day: Which was Cooler?]

Atari was the cooler system to have.  Seems the telegames versions were easier to find than many of their counterparts (at least here in NC) and they were a little cheaper usually and being a kid, every penny counted.

[Amazon secretly selling on eBay?]

Drop shipping and actually against ebay rules.

[Gave Neutral Feedback on eBay...then it disappeared??]

They are relaxing shipping times due to COVID19 and for some sellers will remove feedback related to shipping delays.

[Red sea crossing]

Both of the other two were sold at the same time on two different auction sites and both went for just over $10000 each.

[Suspicious seller shilling]

I have gotten to where I only bid on a few sellers' items that I have now bought from quite a lot and trust.  I did not think it could look like shilling.  Not defending this bidder, but you never know.

[Here's a first: received an EMPTY package!]

I have had this happen.  I learned to tape the package very securely when using bubble mailers on both ends and around the package to prevent this after I received my first empty bubble envelope (three early issues of retro gamer mag).  This is 75% postal issue, 25% seller issue as they should have provided more resistance to prevent the mailer from being opened.  I have received about 5 packages of all types ever through the USPS that have arrived with this message (about 5,000 received, 15,000 shipped) so the rate is not high.

um, goodwill is a federally (US) registered nonprofit.  not sure where you are getting that from.

 

If you donate items to goodwill (and you itemize your taxes) you can take a deduction for the fair market value of the items donated.

They are supposedly a charity, but the only thing Goodwill provides is a website for online training, a place for lesser law offenders to complete community service time and hiring disabled people.

 

If they hired better employees and did not rely upon free labor, maybe they would not ring up an item incorrectly.

[eBay Sellers Who Ignore Messages]

I have found most people that ask questions are more likely to be unhappy with a purchase.  Plus, ebay itself provides terrible customer service, why should the people who pay to use it be any different?

[Buyer Potentially Scamming Me]

As it shows delivered, I believe you are safe as long as the address shipped to was the PayPal address.

Solar Fox is mine.
