Quote:Originally Posted by MR_SigS I really feel sorry for that Seller. They are going to rack up more in eBay fees then they will selling it... plus we all know the seller doesn't have a clue about comic books... |

| For all we know he bought it as a 1.0 at his LCS, and mistook a handwritten 1 for a 7. | ||

Me being dumb 5 years ago and not opening a book to check it out grinds my gears. Lesson learned, I go through every book that is priced over $10.    |

| I don't get upset over comic books. I think the industry is doing a lot of VERY stupid things, but I don't care. If the publishers go out of business tomorrow, I wouldn't care. There are decades worth of stuff that does interest me. At most, I'm highly disappointed. | ||

| I get the whole comics aren’t that important but this was 4 months of planning, a passport, and single handedly the only reason I’m here right now. My gears are ground. | ||

| What's grinding my gears right now are solicitations for variants. Literally the only difference between a variant or additional printing is the cover. So, in theory I would only order it if i like the art on the cover. It's kind if hard to make that decision if they dont have the cover art out by the FOC date. | ||

| I may buy 2-3 variants a year at most. This year is a record for me so far 5 already and one of those I got twenty copies of for speculation I agree though | ||

| Had to really scroll down to find this, guess it's been 18 days since any of us bitched... Here's one Buyer: hey is it fine if I pay you "x" days from now Me: sure no problem Buyer: pays after 5 days...3 days later....  Me:  Buyer:  I don't know...am I wrong...if you take more days then normal to pay, I dont rush out. Its Tuesday, ,. They paid Thursday. This is when I want to just give a refund and keep the book...because I automatically assume this person is gonna complain... This is usually when I quit ebay for a couple months |

Maybe it's just me. I'd assume sellers ship products after they have received payment. Not the other way around  🤣 |

| I think Amazon has made people too impatient...but also...the juevos on this guy...asks to pay late...then expects immediate shipment...its just crazy to me. I think too many people assume selling on ebay is all a person does...my ebay is purely to buy more comics for me with occasional extra cash put towards unexpected things. I just hate it now.. Between the fees and taxes, its really not geared toward the recreational/occasional seller anymore |

Quote:Originally Posted by Enelson Well, you could read his messages more generously if you want to ... as just a polite inquiry; not complaining, just asking if there was a problem with shipping, and looking for an update. I find it's useful to avoid "reading between the lines." Too much opportunity to misread messages and interpret wrongly. Sometime a cigar is just a cigar, and an inquiry is just an inquiry, not a criticism. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Enelson Always wary when people ask for additional time to pay. Sometimes it's just sad. A couple months ago I sold a book on ebay and the buyer asked if he could wait a few days to pay for it, since he wouldn't have the money until he got his paycheck. The book sold for $12. I told him that was fine, while I'm sitting there thinking "Jesus, man. Priorities." |

Quote:Originally Posted by CatCovers Boy, that's tough. I think if I had one of those, I would stick a little something extra in there. If $12 is a big purchase for someone, then a bonus comic - one I might have multiple copies of and never sell - could mean a lot. |

Quote:Originally Posted by CatCovers I saw this all the time with customers picking up their subscriptions at the local comic shops. I never worked at one, but I hung out at several. People were living week to week and they'd skip picking up comics on weeks they had unexpected bills. Heaven forbid they lost their job. They'd be too ashamed to tell the store they couldn't afford their comics. They'd leave the store hanging and just never return. I'd tell some people that they needed to let the store know so the store wouldn't keep ordering the comics for them. Shame always entered the picture and the store kept ordering comics they couldn't sell. |
