Mr Smithy

You needed EBay? Usually a walk down the shops for a packet of cigs does that

I wish it was that simple. They have to agree to cancel it, if they don't then it's just more BS going on and on. Like everything else it's really simple , send me the $8 or learn the chorus of Dixie. But they're out there.

About all you can do as far as I know is: If he sent the money, send it back and wait it out. Nothing really happens , ebay can't take it out of your account, nor actually force you to send it. He can leave a neg I think, but you have a shot at getting it removed, depending on the kid who answers the phone/email. Not much fun if you get to keep the neg, but you can reply and say "won't pay correct postage" and most people will understand. I usually ignore a neg or two if it looks like that sort of thing If he didn't send the money yet, send him an invoice and just carry on with your life until he pays or goes away. I think the same applies with the neg though. All in all a waste of everyone's time over a few bucks , but they're out there. I could be wrong on this as it's EBUK but that seems to be the way it works here. FWIW I think you're better off sticking to EB UK listing and hope it shows up on our listings though, then your $8 will show up.

Or there is the other simpler opinion. There are 5 people at the top making policy and worrying where their next yacht is coming from, and 20,000 minimum wage, 20 year old college jobsworths implementing them. Corporate US at it's finest.

It always tracked to the port of departure but now it is supposed to tell you if/when it is delivered https://community.ebay.com/t5/International-Trading/WHAT-IS-E-DELCON-SERVICE/qaq-p/5997475 So far that package info hasn't changed, so who knows

It looks from here as if if the money is in your PP a/c it's fee free, any other options CC, Debit etc someone gets to pay. Also from here the fee internationally is closer to 5% which, while not a huge deal, does add up over a year. The main issue I have with regular PP is- 99.9% of deals go through without a hitch. If for whatever reason something goes pear shaped, as two reasonable people we should be able to work anything out sensibly, to our mutual satisfaction, or dissatisfaction as the case may be. Share the load. If PP get involved, which they won't if it's a gift, life gets complicated. If there is Mom, or in this case a couldn't care less, jobsworth call center worker, involved. If one or other party is unreasonable then it gets to be a real headache. Same applies to EBay transactions, shouldn't take long to find a few on here where a 3rd party getting involved added 200% to the grief.

Brilliant job all round. You and the mods should be highly chuffed with yourselves A pleasure to be a very small part of it.

Must be on a different EBay then I shipped one last week to France and one today to Germany. No mention of The EB Great Global Balls Up - usual shipping. I didn't go anywhere near it to sign on / off or anything. So they're as good at that as they are at everything else. You do seem to be getting tracking to some countries though, so it says. The one to France says it's in the system, but hasn't got any further than this in 9 days , so unless it wakes up if it ever gets there, it's back to ignoring the French.

So can we assume the punters were all clever bu**ers, not good bu**ers?

I was there in the 80s, and about 3 years ago. Didn't look that white. wiki says The racial makeup of the city was 64.93% White, 15.91% African American, 4.50% Asian, 0.34% Native American, 0.07% Pacific Islander, 10.37% from other races, and 3.88% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 23.51% of the population. Looked about right

Despite what you hear there is still a quite healthy market for the insanely rare to just very rare Doo Woppers over here. Haven't seen any guns lately but some dangerously high blood pressure, clenched fists and larger by the minute offers flying around. https://www.popsike.com/rare-DOO-WOP-ABCO-78-RIP-CHORDS-I-LOVE-YOU-THE-MOST-THE-RAZZLE-DAZZLE/261107357358.html Even the 78 guys are in there. At a show last year, maybe year before, I watched 2 guys going at it over one of these, slightly lesser condition but still in nice shape, but it went for 1300 + if I remember right. So take heart lads, you're not the only ones.

I'd be interested to know what he says.

Not as far as I can see. It still seems to be an opt in. I would never use it, regardless of cost, which is a good enough reason. If EBay initiated it and are running it it's got to be a total screw up, and when it goes pear shaped you'd never get a straight answer. I'll never become one, I don't use it enough but it may be connected to your Top Rated +ness, you have to jump through all kinds of hoops to get your 20% off. Were they all TR+ sellers?

You don't need one- too much flute!! Is John Harris around anywhere to speak his piece on this? The 45, not the flute?

Me too. Eddie & Brian were great and as stated a sterling job by Mr Jackson at the piano. The only criticism would be that it would have been better to have someone from the performing side do the chat rather than an exec from Universal. Not much can be said about Mr Toussaint that hasn't been said many times over more eloquently than I. A real privilege. He also brought on for a few minutes Henry Butler ( who, to my shame I've never heard of) , worth a look definitely. I'm sure a piano wouldn't last him long but as they say a short life but a happy one, it would have given it's all.

I did. Very NY when it was fun. Chickie's is long gone though and I can't find any reference to when it was about.

Sunk without a trace, or did anyone go there? I bet it was a fun place. It's the only sleeve I've seen with that on it.

By looking at it I would have guessed that probably 99% of it was pure top shelf dross, but 1% of that is a lot of rare vinyl. I'm sure you could never look at a Sacha Distel record again after ploughing through it, but that's sorta what it's about really - staying power. I'm glad someone did alright out of it.

Hey Pete, How are you? I figured it would have been but I must have missed it. Just like the tele though, some reruns are always worth watching.

That's why you take the family, the comfy chair and the card table.

Regardless of what they were would have been hours of fun for all the family. Get your wellies on and away we go.

Not sure if this is the right forum so move if you want. Anyone know anything about this. Would have been fun. https://www.thevinylfactory.com/vinyl-factory-news/extraordinary-photos-from-an-abandonned-record-warehouse/

So me & Nev will have 485 #1s and someone will have 485 # 3 or #985 I'm confused already. I'll just play it and have a lie down for a bit.

You've got #485 too? Damned tricky those Germans. Or is it just centered? Damned fine technicians those Germans
