You suck!!!! heh congrats.

My wish list is all of 3 items. Buster Douglas SMS, Magic knight Rayearth Saturn, and the DQ Battle road victory controller. Everything else I dont have and want really isnt all that important to me.

We're working on the last one She'll be heading back to Japan next week, so hopefully we'll have more accurate numbers by the end of the week

Im so excited.

Im so excited.

I never noticed.

Okay, my gripes of today:

I bought a CIB DWMII - Cobi's Adventure on ebay, supposedly shipped last Tuesday (and was estimated to show by Sat,) but the tracking has never left "Electronic Info Received" and  grrrrr. I'll give it until Monday then contact the guy.  EDIT: I lied. I went ahead and shot him a message. I guess we will see how it goes.

Not-so-gaming gripe: I sold my 99% new 3Doodler on Ebay, got a good price on it...only to get an email from the guy after the auction saying in somewhat broken English that the "shipping was included in the price, yes?" And no, it was not. Especially for a package I have to ship from the US to Israel. Like usual ebay, it states clearly near the top the shipping cost. I've not gotten a response since. Sigh.

And that's why I don't ship anything outside of the US. How long ago did this sell? You can file an item not paid dispute after four days and get your fees back.

Eh, it just ended last night, so I'm just being impatient. I've shipped all over the world over the years, so I've seen all sorts of hijinks, but the timing was bad, because I was going to use the funds to pay for something I just bought from a NA member, but no big. That's what credit cards are for.

Consider I buy things internationally on a regular basis (usually from Japan) I would feel hypocritical if I didn't ship internationally...especially because you can buy even 1st class international on the USPS website now.

1st class has no tracking. If the guy tries to scam you by saying it never got there, you lose the shipping costs AND the money he "paid".

It's not worth the risk.

Right, in this case, I may require him to get EMS. Blah, I hate scammers. Not been caught once, but today's not a good day to start.

[anruiukimi]

Well, he paid me for 1st Class International. I think I'm going to sacrifice $20ish and upgrade it to EMS on my own for my own protection. Not the first time I've done that.

The guy I bought DWMII: Cobi from got back to me saying that the package had been returned to him as "improperly shipped." That's a first, but as I'm hardly in a hurry, I'm willing to wait some more. As long as it shows up in the next week or so in the condition he claims it is in, I'm good.

Guess it's just one of those days.

[foxhack]

Uuuuuuuuuugh.

I got a really good offer for my PS1 RPG collection.

Except the buyer just registered yesterday and that's making me super anxious...

[disgaeniac]

So, what are you going to do?

Ignore the offer.

If it was someone with an established feedback rating and more than one day on eBay then I'd consider it.

Same here - I hate that ebay checks that option by default, I always have to remember to un-check it.

I typically have really good experiences both buying & selling on ebay *knock on wood* but I did have a bad buyer experience the first of the year.  I was buying a poster for Radiata Stories.  Did a buy it now & paid immediately.  Over a week went by & there was no movement so I contacted the guy.  He replied right before the date that I would be able to cancel the order & said that he had been out of town and that there was a problem with the vacation option on ebay since he had never used it before.  Ok, fair enough, it WAS around Christmas so I'm good with that.  He even says he's going to throw in "something extra" for the trouble, which isn't necessary but is nice so fine.  But then it takes him another week after that to actually ship.  Worst part, the poster arrives rolled in a box, not a poster tube, along w/ a promotional thing from Square-Enix around the time of FFXII's release and a promo soundtrack for Phantasy Star Universe.  The box, in transit, had gotten mashed in the middle - not a lot, probably something was sat on it, but it was enough to press down on the rolled poster & dent it, so that when it was unrolled it had an ugly white crease right down the middle of it. 

He gave me a full refund, but I was upset because I wanted that poster and it was the only one I've seen listed for sale.  The extra stuff I honestly didn't even care about, and if he put everything in a box instead of a tube because of that then that's even more upsetting.  I decided not to leave the guy any feedback at all, good or bad, since he did refund me - but I was not happy about it. 

EDIT:  Oh, you have to be kidding me!  I just did a search and the same guy has the same poster listed for sale again, even tho he told me the one I bought was the last one.  And he's asking even more for it now.  Man, I kinda wish I *had* left him a negative now...

Since you are the seller, all you should have to do is make sure he pays and you cover your ass on shipping.
