It's a microcosm of one way the US has been fucking over it's regular people on the regular but lately increasing rapidly.<br /><br />Anyways, I just was gonna say the exact thing these other guys are... go to discogs you're better off. I've been selling there for a while. I would only go to ebay if i had a bunch of expensive in demand pieces cause you can end up with the auction going up to over triple what you would expect or more. And on ebay you can also throw in some not so rare records with the rare ones and you usually will get more for them.<br /><br />So yeah, ebay sucks the cack, discogs is better, imo. Unless, like i said, if you got more pieces like them Mytee G Poetic and Ill Distracxion records that are still on my want list, lol.vergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05343471576213122761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774467659556372292.post-66606738526789228692012-02-11T02:29:11.036-05:002012-02-11T02:29:11.036-05:00Also I got screwed over by this ebay buyer with hi...Also I got screwed over by this ebay buyer with his negative feedback. My feedback rating went from 100% to 94%. After spending nearly an hour on the phone with eBay customer support, these people say there is nothing they can do to have the feedback removed. <br /><br />Even after seeing the messages where this guy is cursing at me, demanding partial refunds and demanding a return of his money before returning the records, all of which go against eBay policy, they still can't help me because he 'did not directly indicate that he would leave negative feedback if I did not comply with his demands.' Even after I offer a refund to remedy the situation, I'm still subject to these spiteful, negative remarks.neshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080026675249726023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774467659556372292.post-30859381309112586372012-02-11T02:27:05.708-05:002012-02-11T02:27:05.708-05:00I actually thought I would be saving money this ti...I actually thought I would be saving money this time selling because of the free promotion they had allowing you to list items for free, not even realizing how they screw you over on the final values. <br /><br />It seems pointless now to try to sell anything on eBay that isn't worth at least $20-$30 as you will be taxed nearly 75% of your profits. I'm gonna have to look into discogs or amazon or something else, which means learning and signing up for a completely new system, headache. In this economy it's ridiculous for eBay to do this type of shit.neshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080026675249726023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774467659556372292.post-87157303523212844962012-02-11T01:18:44.822-05:002012-02-11T01:18:44.822-05:00Yea I feel you on this shit man I was selling some...Yea I feel you on this shit man I was selling some records on ebay a few years ago and everything was fine, then the fee's went up, and then up again, and up again and about a month ago I finally deleted my paypal account all together and said fuck it. It's really a fucking monopoly they're running. Ebay owns Paypal so its basically a scheme to charge you twice...<br /><br />I've used Discogs also and it's much better, but the problem with that is you can see other people selling the exact same item and in order to sell you have to have the better quality at a lower price...<br /><br />I find my ebay items moved much much faster and at the time that was a good thing, but now with all these crazy fee's I'm done with it. Less hassle to just keep the record. <br /><br />The sad thing is Ebay and Paypal make billions of dollars in profit each year, so why do they have to nickle and dime the people who made them so profitable in the first place... if anything these fee's should be lowered not raised...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774467659556372292.post-21949931128490122622012-02-10T11:18:44.117-05:002012-02-10T11:18:44.117-05:00I've seen people selling records there but nev...I've seen people selling records there but never really considered using it.
