Pete S Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LONG-JOHN-BALDREY-UNITED-ARTIST-MINT-DEMO-/190638715757?pt=UK_Records&hash=item2c62f3f36d#ht_500wt_1413 He advertises payment in paypal, but when you pay him, he refunds your money and insists you pay by postal order. So why is he allowed to have the paypal logo? I really want the record above but postal orders will cost another £5 on top of what will probably be 3 figures anyway. This has got to be against ebay rules surely?

Chalky Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 It's ben ages since I sold on ebay, don't you have to select your payment methods or in the case of paypal deselect?
Guest allnightandy Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 I know it's nothing to do with soul but it is to do with postage i saw this bloke today this must be a record for postage ! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLD-HALF-SOVEREIGN-PROOF-SET-10-COINS-/190639714384?pt=Coins_BritishProofs_RL&hash=item2c63033050
Soul16 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 It does seem a bit dodgy and yes, it is against Ebay rules. - I sell stuff on Ebay regularly and I expect to be paid by PayPal - Nobody likes the fees they charge, but you just have to take it on the chin. The same seller had a 'shield design' Yvonne Baker 45 on auction last week - his very short description didn't state that it was an original, but the photograph showed the record in a cardboard sleeve, with some very gaudy artwork (much like the LJB 45) clearly stating in great big letters 'ORIGINAL'. The record reached £74+ and it was then pulled from sale - I would guess that he was informed that it was most likely a boot. Having said that, he does have some really nice original stuff for sale.
Soul16 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 He's even selling his dancing shoes, which is a bit worrying...I do hope the guy is OK.

Jnixon Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 dodging PP fees most likely. report them to ebay. very cheeky. had someone ask that i pay their fees on ebay recently and told them to GFTS. both are against ebays selling rules
Guest allnightandy Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Yep same guy who withdrew his Yum Yums a few weeks back because it nearly went for a few quid ! https://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2649 Edited February 19, 2012 by allnightandy
JOE TORQUAY Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 JUST A THOUGHT, HAVE YOU GOT A FRIEND IN MANCHESTER WHO COULD GET IT FOR YOU IN PERSON, BIT OF A NUISANCE BUT AT LEAST YOU'D KNOW IT WAS OK TO PAY FOR, JOE.
boba Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 He explicitly has in his text "payment by postal order please". He should be reported.
Diamondjim Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 He states on his add....any questions give him a call....01613667596
Benji Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Seller wants postal orders only so where's the problem?
boba Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Seller wants postal orders only so where's the problem? it violates ebay policy. there's no protection for your purchase. it's a pain in the ass to do. if he wants money orders he can sell off ebay, like on here. before ebay forced accepting paypal, I remember so much wasted time writing and mailing checks, and money orders were 100x worse. I bought way less. There's a reason ebay instituted the policy.
Spook Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Seller wants postal orders only so where's the problem? There have been one or two current problems with "gift" paypal payments with soul source members, you again have no comeback with a postal order if the seller defaults in any way.

Benji Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Have to withdraw my previous statement. Just saw that Ebay UK forces all sellers to accept Paypal. I didn't know that. Ebay Germany requires Paypal only for sellers below or above a certain rating threshold (+50? +100?).

JOE TORQUAY Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 i think there's an ebay for every country in the world because of the different laws they all have, i guess they all have the same kind of categories ??. joe,
Philippe Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I didn't even know there was an ebay germany! Bob, many countries have their own site. You can see them by clicking on the US flag at the bottom of the page : https://www.ebay.com/
Guest MrC Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Yep same guy who withdrew his Yum Yums a few weeks back because it nearly went for a few quid ! And he withdrew a VelVets 20th Century black issue the week before that - dodgy
Keithw Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 have had stuff from this lad - for me it was a little strange but he sent what i paid for when i said the price of the p.o was high - he said he would refund the p . o cost which he did (think he put the cash in with record) his prices are good i remember that
Dylan Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I didn't even know there was an ebay germany! what categories are good there? ebay pretty much everywhere bob germany is .de italy is .it etc etc i've bought german made watches off german ebay.
boba Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 ebay pretty much everywhere bob germany is .de italy is .it etc etc i've bought german made watches off german ebay. Yeah, I knew there were other country's ebays, didn't know it was for every country though. I assume they have the same categories but by "what are the good categories" I specifically was asking about things like you just referred to (german made watches). Or like if they had a really good sausages category or something.
