123-liquidation on eBay.  Bought a $5 poster, took almost a month to ship, arrived in a triangular USPS tube - damaged, said I would be refunded within 24-48 hours (that was over a week ago) - still no refund), and no reply to emails.

What a PoS!!!

In his/her defense, he/she explained some issues he/she supposedly had.  I could have been more patient, but it's been almost six weeks since I sent payment.

That's worse than dealing with MOR Furniture

I believe I've read some bad things about 123-liquidation... Be glad you only lost $5 and the S&H

[Neo]

MOR Furniture, eh?  Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, I hear ya that I should be glad that it was only $5 and not a lot more, but it's more about the principals than the $. 

Unfortunately the guy has some cool stuff, some of which are at decent market prices, but there is an incredibly low probability that I would buy anything else from him/her.  If I said anything to the guy about future purchases, it would be, in Charlie's epic words: "So now, not only have you been called out, you've lost probably hundreds if not thousands of potential dollars from 'Precious' who thought you were actually an OK guy."

You're really tempting me to add it again, aren't you!!! 

Seriously though, how come you accepted a damaged parcel? The postal service has a duty of care.

This is why the forums are such a great tool in keeping sellers honest, and if not they lose out on a ton of money from potential buyers.

I know I would have spent another $500+ at Movieposters.com if I wouldn't have found these forums.

It's a classic line.  I would add it to my sig if it had been said to me.

If a package is damaged, other than one time, they always leave it, even if it requires a signature.  The one time I got a tube that had a huge dent in it and the woman asked me to sign for it, she strategically placed it inside my door with the dent facing the wall, while I signed the card.    All the others times I sign the card, they wait until I sign it and then hand me the package.

No doubt about it, MW.

movieposter.com is alright.  I got this Heavy Metal poster from them at a decent price, and everything was good.

I think the seller is being silly making you wait six weeks. For a $5 poster he should just refund and move on. I'd send a msg saying you'll leave a neg if refund doesn't come through in 24 hours. That's fair, as it's been a pretty negative experience!

In Aust the PO pays compensation for lost / damaged items up to $50 for regular mail. Above that I get insurance for locally delivered. Costs peanuts.

Oh, i'm not saying anything bad about their products, or the handling... but their prices on some things are far more than what you can get them elsewhere.

Yeah, they do have a lot of stuff at much higher prices than others. 

They apparently have another one (or more) Heavy Metal 30x40 I mentioned and the price is 50% more than what I paid for it from them about a year ago.

I did a PayPal deal so I can't leave negative feedback.  He/she can keep the money and have to live with the fact that he/she has lost "probably hundreds if not thousands of potential dollars"...

I wonder if it'll make him / her yawn!!!

Wait... I use Paypal on Ebay and can leave negative feedback, so why can't you?

[Ari]

yeah thats a weird one. I do to (although been years since I left a neg)

[brude]

Maybe Neo means that he sidestepped an Ebay sale and bought it direct from an Ebay seller?
Hence, there is no Ebay transaction with which to leave feedback.

[Ari]

Ahhhh

[Neo]

The poster was in an eBay auction that ended and I forgot to bid on it, so I sent him/her an email, and really upped the ante offering $5 to do a B.I.N. (it didn't sell at the opening bid of $2.99).  The guy sent me an email and offered to do a PayPal deal (outside eBay) and I sent the money.  One reason (among many) why it's better in that situation to do a B.I.N. on eBay is being able to leave feedback.

Ahhhhhh, no wonder... I see your plan. 

[brude]

Only prob with that kind of deal is that Ebay owns Paypal and tracks these transactions and sticks it to both parties later.
From what I've been told, they have little black ledgers on Neo and others like him.
Muwahahahaha.....
