Northern Soul Uk Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Just got an Original blue copy of 'Lou Johnson - Unsatisfied' from the states. After waiting 1 month for it to arrive, and also having to write to the seller to ask where it was (they'd forgotten to post it), it arrived this morning wrapped in one thin piece of cardboard, fastened with sellotape and sent half way across the world. Needless to say, when I opened it, the record was cracked right the way across, knackered. What a damn waste of an original record of this calibre. Doesn't it make you angry that some people don't respect what they are selling? Anyway, avoid like the plague this Ebay seller. rodneyw9904 Gutted!!!

Pete S Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Look at this Steve https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...N:IT&ih=015 same seller, and sent the record to me packed in exactly the same way. I left him positive because the record was nice but I bollocked him privately.

Also, yes Pete, I've seen the item you got, I will NOT be leaving good feedback though I'm afraid as neither the packing or the record are any good.

Exactly, he needs to be taught a lesson or he will continue to destroy good records and piss people off!!
Northern Soul Uk Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 Exactly, he needs to be taught a lesson or he will continue to destroy good records and piss people off!! That's right Ste, the more people that let him know that they are not happy with his service by leaving appropriate feedback the better. Otherwise how will he know? he needs a short sharp shock to make him come to his senses.

Gaz Lees Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Steve just happened to me 2 days ago got a nice copy of Shane Martin I need you-Epic great price been after one for a while this time the record was packaged well but record arrived guess what hairline crack right across it going through the motions of trying to gey my money back at the moment. Ive at least had a return email saying he will return my funds on receipt of the record had to send it back to the states though. I'm buying less and less of Ebay prefering to deal with sellers from SS in the UK who will strike a deal with you that both parties are happy with, and with records that turn out to be what they are supposed to be not boots or overgraded. Hope we both get what we want - our money back Gaz Lees

Hope we both get what we want - our money back Gaz Lees To be honest Gaz I don't see why you should even have to return the record especially with it being in the states. The only reason that a seller would do this is to make you pay more to get your money back and to put you through the maximum inconvenience that he can. I mean, what's he gonna do with a cracked record anyway apart from throw it in the bin, he can't sell it can he? I have sent a top quality photo link with my letter, and he can see that the record is the same one that he sent to me because of the markings on it so there is absolutely no reason tio return the record at all as far as I can see Edited November 6, 2008 by steveluigi

Agent45 Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 My experience was similar, though not a broken record. Luckily, it only had to travel a very short distance. good communication and product, but overgraded and not well packaged.urbanistop ( 1724) 10-Oct-08 14:06 OBSCURE SOUL-GEORGE HUGHLEY-RARE GEORGIA LABEL-D.J.COPY (#250297128272)US $93.08
boba Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 at least it was cheap. I buy so many records on ebay and have to deal with so many shady sellers that I write off records like that and don't even leave negative feedback since if I get blocked, the seller is sure to have like my biggest want the next day. There's so many horrible sellers that it's often not if they are shady, but how shady they are, that determines whether I will deal with them and for what records and for how much.
Northern Soul Uk Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Just had a reply from the seller saying that I shouldn't be so rude? heheh, wasn't rude, just told him that he shouldn't be selling records if he doesn't know how to package them properly to send them half way round the world. that's right isn't it? Anyway, says he thinks he has another copy and do I want that if he has? I said yes as long as it is the same colour label and release and he wraps it properly. We'll see, I'll let you all know in a month or so, well! that's how long it took to come last time. Edited November 6, 2008 by steveluigi

Anyway we'll see if he is as good as his word is or I'll shame him on SS as well. Gaz
