SO I set my friend's 2012 CJC set on eBay. Guy didn't want to pay for more than small packet air. Which I have since found out has changed frmo insured to not insured after Jan. 14th. Paypal asked for proof of shipping and gave me 10 days. I sent what I had and they closed the deal. I called to complain and tell them they have just given the guy the item for free. They said they have asked him to pay once he receives the item.......................
Never again.
Sorry for the rant.
-
That sucks man. What country did the set go to If I may ask or which Ebay company did you deal with (Ebay.UK, Ebay.com, etc)?
-
Sucks, but never give them an option on no tracking on an expensive item. I hope things work out for you.
-
PLEASE tell me it wasn't our "friend" overseas.
-
ThAT is why i will never ship without tracking...
its just not worth it...
sorry dude, theres alot of scammers out there.
-
Sorry to hear that. I have been burnt on that too so I know how it feels.
-
BLACK EAGLE OUT OF THE UK. His feedback is 1448 - 100% positive. Even if he weren't scamming me it would take a rare breed now to cough up the cash once it shows up in a week or so I am betting. On eBay.ca
I finally stopped hearing from our wiener friend in Singapore a while ago.
Lesson learned. Expensive lesson.
-
Well, I'm sorry to hear that. He may pay up when it arrives, but in the future I woukd suggest shipping with tracking. I don't ship anything without tracking anymore. It cost me some business, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Even on a $10 order.

I hear you and I often would ask for the same things he asked for. I would shrug when sellers would insist on the higher S&H costing option. No longer.
On a plus side, if it were truly lost then everyone's 2012 CJC became just a little more rare............ ;)
-
does this mean you'll never ship me another CJC comic if there is one?

I think more than half the people out there would pay up. If this guy has 100% feedback I bet he's in that half. I can understand how you'd be fearful being involved in it, but I bet he makes good. Hang in there!

No worries Sundance, One of us will be happy to help you out.
-
thanks Bandy.

Of course I would hook you up!
-
cheers, dude.
-
So what ever happened?
-
As of now waiting for Paypal to take the money away from me.

I just saw this on eBay:
Title: Enroll in the Global Shipping Program
Finally, international shipping made simple. No customs forms. No hassles. Selling globally is easy, and international shipping is now hassle free. Once your item sells, just ship to a US hub and the rest is taken care of. Why not give it a try?
Not too sure yet what it is... maybe it will cost us less to get things from USA... maybe...

I too just went thorugh that pdaat, but it was a canadian buyer from Alberta, i lost $100, and he probably got a free mickey mouse cobra commander.
i know its not a big ticket item like a con set, but that was the first and only time ill not be protected by not having tracking.
-
This is really unfortunate news guys. Sorry to hear this.
I've been frustrated by the high costs on ebay when buying things, but now I understand why it's necessary.
