other than my guitar stuff, ebay has been a bitch. my first cd that i got from ebay was 'boy hits car's self titled album. that was suppose to be in my hands in 2 weeks. it took about a month to get to my place. i wasnt all too mad about that. second cd i got from it was 'The Sins Of Thy Beloved's second album. that got to me in 3 weeks, even though it said 2 weeks. nothing for me to get TOO upset about that. 3rd cd was Haggard's 'Awaking the centuries'. that cd is over due. has been like that for the last 9 months. i contacted the seller a while back. and nothing. then my 4th cd was Haggards 'eppur si mouve'. yeah...8 months over due. same shit
yeah yeah, i should look at a customers ratings. well this 'e-shop' that i got the haggard cds from had soemthing like 99% positive feed back, and had over a million sales. so maybe 100 people out of a million gave the shop a positive feed back. if anything. yet here i am...still waiting for my damn order. not that i'm planing to see that order, like EVER. and i'm not really crying over the 10 bucks i lost. but still, the fuck?!
what are your stories with online shoping, or Ebay, Amazon and stuff.

Or perhaps that those 9 positive feedbacks that are not stars, are from such long ago, they don't count anymore. I don't know. @Damnated. I think it would be in all cases of that seller, as he was more a shop than a seller. I'm not sure though.

It will all depend with whom you make transactions and the details of how the items are shipped. Fortunately I have not had any problems (except some minor delays) when I have bought albums through eBay. If you have a little of patience it is all right.

aright, this is a different question...if you do buy albums from EBAY...who really is making the money? i mean these E-stores sell the cds for 5 bucks, if any. i saw that Megadeth album 'peace sells...but whos buying?' album for 99 cents(ofcouse it was up for bid. but some dude bough the album for 2 bucks). who really is making money? i know buying from the retail stores gives the band about 3% of the total sales, if anything. most if it goes to other people. but with ebay, a cd worth 5 bucks cant really do much good to anyone...can it?

Written by Soliloquy on 29.09.2006 at 00:52 If you buy 'new' from an ebay shop it is the same as buying from any shop. The shop will have paid the supplier for the cd , so the money wil be paid in the normal way. A portion of the price of a cd is profit for the shop it iis sold in - ebay shops can make a smaller profit per cd because they do not have the outgoings of a normal shop. If you are buying 'used' cds the money will go to the seller - obviously the cd has at some point come from a supplier who has been paid .

I heard from a dude that he could earn money from Ebay, that induce me, and I begun learning about Ebay. And eventually I got dissappointed that Ebay dont accept money working on internet from my country.

Written by FOOCK Nam on 21.10.2006 at 05:32 Yes you can eran money from ebay But the problem is the paypal method system. If you don't know what is this, well in a simple words it is a method to transfer money from a card to another card . But it does not been recognized in most of the countries

ive had nothing but good experiences with ebay so far. just a note for people considering selling items, try and sell a lot of stuff at once rather than keep putting up a few items. if you put up a few hundred items and say that people can combine shipping, then they'll check your other listed items and you'll get a lot more bids.

Written by FOOCK Nam on 21.10.2006 at 18:29 Well it is getting quite popular . Most of teenagers got to buy many cheap things like mp3 .mp4 and other stuff like that. They are very cheapl consider that a same brand of mp3 one's bought it for 100+ euros from a local shop, while other onto ebay bought it for just 10euros

Written by Guest on 17.02.2007 at 15:43 Yes - that is correct . You only get a star for the first thing you buy from a seller - after that you get the feedback but not another star.

Written by BurbotsRevenge on 26.12.2007 at 10:57 Yeah , ebay become a part of my daily click But still there are many problems regards taxes and so many related things . If these taxes will be ban from internet will be a better . For example i can buy an item which i find in US , which is cheaper , but when that item gets in EU i must pay huge taxes cause that item is from oustside EU. Thus this item will be higher than the marked price. It is not fair

I always use eBay now, Its a great site for buying and selling items whether they are brand new or second hand etc. Ive bought alot of clothes of eBay and ive been pleased with the prices and the shipping would be really fast everytime. bought a few DVD's and CD's too for amazing prices. I even won a brand new digital TV antenna for $5 and the postage was $19, so i was pretty happy with that
