Thought this may be of interest as it was quite unexpected.

There is a company, used to be called Auction Player, now they're called something else, well anyway, you use them to put audio clips on ebay basically. I took out a subscription a couple of months back as I knew I was going to be selling a lot of obscure records so people might want to hear them. Cost £60. Anyway about 3 weeks back, I put 50 items up for auction, but I couldn't add the audio clips, something was wrong with their servers. This went on for days, and most of my auctions ended with me being unable to add clips (I added a load via Divshare in the end).

So I thought well, I paid for a subscription that I wasn't able to use, I'll see if I can get my money back as this could happen again and it's basically contributing to loss of earnings.

To my surprise, paypal found in my favour and gave me the money back yesterday!

Which was nice.

Paypal almost always finds in the buyers favor. I thought this thread was going to be about a seller winning a dispute. Either way I'm glad you got your money back, that sucks that they screwed you.

No what I was surprised about is that auction player is, I think, owned by ebay, who also own paypal, so I didn't think I'd get a result due to that

It could be the opposite. You got a result BECAUSE ebay/Paypal/Player ar all linked - As it was an "in-house" problem, the coughed up.

Bloody hell Pete I thought same as the above.

Now that would have been a result.

Nice one anyway tho.

Why did you pay that much money out when you get tons of free storage download limits and embeddable players on Div share and Box player and it dosent cost a penny.

Isn't that auction player that big ugly coloured thing with a microphone on it the skips backwards and forward when you move your mouse?

Thats the one Craig.

I shall only use divshare from now on.

I think its called E commerce player now. You get 5 free goes on it then you have to pay.

Complete rip off.

Divshare most of the time because its simple to upload and embed but I'm trying out box net at the moment which has an embeddable player but its a bit more fiddly.
