1. I bought two films from a seller, won on the same day. A week later, he finally posts them, (2X200ft total for both auctions), with $12.45 combined total for shipping ...
He has the nerve to ship them by media mail! i use media mail almost all the time and 2X200ft super cost less than 4.00 dollars to ship. i promptly just asked for this person to paypal back my at least 8 dollars extra!
2. I bought two super 8 features, "Our Relations' and "Way Out West' (both Laurel and Hardy), from a seller who's supposed to be reputable, for 25.00 dollars each, (great deal on that, no one else bid), and now he informs me a week later that he can't find them and wants to refund my money.
I told him to continue looking for them and mail them when he finds them. he says he has to look through 500 films. hey, you don't post something unless you have the very object ready to go.
Can't find them my arse! I'm betting he's just miffed that they didn't get bid up.
GRRRR! Usually, things are so nice with ebay and then I get a week like this! ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Osi,
I am the first seller. You bought the films on Sunday. I sent you an invoice for $6 total for shipping, I mentioned combined shipping in the listings. According to the PayPal record you paid the $6 on Tuesday, not the $12+ I sent the films out this morning.
I thought our communication was clear. I'm sorry if there was any confusion, but I don't feel I should be outed as having done anything wrong.
You should receive them shortly, and I hope you enjoy them!
As for media mail service, Daniel, I used them frequently for super 8 and 16mm without issue. However, make sure to always insure. You never know what can happen!

Folks ...
I have a window of an hour or so to be on the internet, so i couldn'r respond until just now (saturday morning).
Evan ... I didn't know who personally the seller was, which is why I just mentioned the sale. you outed yourself personally ...
However, after I had first started this yesterday, I had received a reply from the seller, (who i now know as Evan), stating that he had changed the shipping amount to 6.00 dollars and just this morning, I can verify that he did in fact change it to a full amount of 6.00 dollars postage for both items, so that's cleared up nicely. Would have liked to have had them shipped quicker, but it really wasn't Evan's fault, as ...
the unfortunate thing is that, though I paid for the item on the 21st, (item ended late saturday or sunday, I believe, the 19th, and I couldn't pay until the 21st, as I don't have access to the internet until Monday), apparantly, the paypal/bank payment didn't clear until a few days later, which is frustating. I thought paypal transfers went through like, overnight, (I've tended to find them in my accoubnt the very next day when I've sold things.
However, the other seller "vetofilm", says he is still looking for the features. I'm confused as to why a person who specializes in film, would list two features, even describing that they are on large reels ...
WAY OUT WEST---Laurel-Hardy Feature---Super-8-Sound---Like New Blackhawk Print----on 1 giant reel---Black and White---Complete Feature
... and then, after the sale, say that he can't find them.
Accidents can happen, true, but it just seems a little "hinky". ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I thought I made it clear, but Douglas is right, Evan only charged me the 6.00 dollars, so were good!
... but I haven't heard from VETOFilm yet. I tell you this much, if he refunds my money, and then lists then again in a very short time after refunding, then I'll raise heck with ebay about and do what one of the earlier postings said to do. ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
