C’mon eBay, don’t let me down.

Well, if you have been keeping up with my blog or DA journal, then you know the crap that has been going down.

Well, im not gonna let it get me down, after all, I only use ebay for advertising and all my real work is done under commission or contract.

SO, with an optimistic outlook, I have posted 3 new customs on eBay, and there should be no way these can be reported as i have NO links, or NO demands that are out of policy. Just straight up, fresh figured for the fans of my work.

lately I have been putting small reserves on my auctions, cause f they don’t sell, im okay with that. After all, every time I sell a figure, its only a mater of time before someone ask me for it again, and I make more money that way. The thrill of the bid always fun though, and somehow I feel WAY more stoked when a custom sells on eBay (even if its only half the price or even a 1/3 of the price as a commission job) because when you bid on a figure, it means you are willing to battle to have my work in your collection, thats a satisfying feeling.

On another related note, remember my PS3? Well, some new info has came into play and its NOT good. Long story short, NEVER trust the post office with your Deliver Confirmation.

What they when you put that lime green sticker on it (that you paid for) is scan it when it leaves, and scan it when its delivered.

well in the case of my PS3 (which I KNOW FOR A FACT was delivered, because the “nice old lady” told me so in an eBay message) it was NOT scanned when delivered by the lazy USPS employee.

So what’s this mean? Well, see for your self, here is the tracking number 0308 0070 0000 1539 8206. I called paypal recently, and spoke with a rep, who actually felt bad for the outcome of my DISPUTE. And after some looking into it, they actually stated that I will be covered by paypal protection and I can have my 650 bucks back. BUT WAIT, then they checked the tracking number and said NO. Why? BECAUSE NOW THE POST OFFICE SCREWED ME!!! The one little mistake by the lazy PO worker cost me my 650 bucks in the long run.

NOW, I went to the post office, and they had NO sympathy for me, even though I caused a scene about having paid for a service that was never provided.

So, the battle continues. One man, against 2 billion dollar corporations who don’t give a shit about this “one man” who is being screwed out of 650 bucks (which, to any normal guy, is quite a bit of money to just have disappear)

Wish me luck, as I continue to bitch and moan, and list eBay auctons..lol

    Can’t remember how it works in the States but surely paying extra for delivery confirmation includes a degree of insurance against loss. You now have a tracking number for which the postal service can show no delivery of. If I were you I’d make a claim for loss direct with the postal service. And postal workers not recording the delivery is such a common problem – now when I receive mail I bless the wonder that in the hands of bungling idiots it reached me at all.

    Yeah, I had always thought that Delivery Confirmation and (I assume you sent it) Priority Mail provided some insurance. Because they always ask me at the post office if I want to purchase additional insurance coverage.

    nope, its the other way around…. when you get insurance, THEN you get tracking included.

    Man… that sucks, but for something like a PS3, I would have sent it signed delivery for sure.

    I think it’s funny how people bitch about the post office but are still all smiles and giggles when they get their stuff xD

    That does suxxors though, sometimes I send stuff and it’s scanned at every single location, and sometimes stuff only gets scanned here and at the destination.

    Honestly man, I don’t think you’re going to win this unless someone at the P.O. decides to step up an admit their mistake, which may get them fired because that’s a lot of money…

    I’ll put you in my prayers Kyle, TTYL BFF4ever!
