I tried to start a soulstrut block ebay list almost two years ago to no avail....
paypal has a pretty bad rep for shit like this.
I don't know if its feasible or fair but sometimes I wish we had a blocked bidders list for everyone to add on to and use...
Peace
T.N.
I don't think it's a violation, just list people with their opinions? It could be like siskel and ebert
It's no more a violation or privacy than Ebay feedbacks.
sorry knewjack,
but that is officially
you only have 10 days to reply through paypal as a seller. considering this package will be in the mail that long, i'd be uckfayed by the time dude got his package. looking like shit in paypal's eyes. if you want to ball with paypal you must reply through their system within 10.
you don't want to be "the cool guy who gets fucked".
Calling paypal is hell. no music, just a robot telling you not to check your emails due to fraudulent devils. about an 1 1/2 hrs later when an operator picks up, what is the first thing they say? "everything you need to know was emailed to you"
sold $350 worth of video game raer.
literally two hours after dude paid he files a chargeback because I wasn't home to reply to one of his emails.
talked to a supervisor at paypal and all she did is read me the paypal user agreement and say "paypal has no control over user behavior"
told the buyer that i'd send the package signature confirmation to make sure I have evidence it was recieved, once this evidence is given to paypal they give me my 350 back.
buyer says he no longer wants the games (probably because he gave me a "friends" address).
Some people are just nuts. Hope you used a DC# so paypal can give you your funds.
so have I. even with this dude aldo. but guess what? if everything goes well, nobody complains. that isn't the point!! it is what do they do when there is a small problem. this dude complained about a $10 record missing, now i lose $342 because it was part of a package. he filed the complaint 1 day after he emailed me telling me it was missing. i put the record in the mail the same day the complaint was filed. dude gave me a 1 day window to mail a record from the midwest to ITALY.
what is this?
luckily the only record that may not be trackable is the replacement record i just mailed. which is worth $14. he has already told paypal that he got the rest of the stuff.
so really paypal is the asshole in this story.
well, aldo is still a prick for making me have to go through all this shit for a $14 record.
lets start this!
Unfortunately, USPS does not offer a delivery confirmation # to Europe if sending by air mail.
I believe paypal does offer tracking to Europe if you print out shipping labels froms thier site.
looks like you'll end up getting your money back.
If your buyer is this honest he will probably tell paypal when he recieves the one record you just sent...meaning paypal will credit your account with the funds again.
Good luck!
Definitely not a violation of privacy. And if it's true, it's not defamation, either.
I had the same problem.. with MARCOFUK (Italy). He got his money back after claiming no arrival. The record was sent registered (i have the receipt). I spoke w/ paypal this morning.. and their policy of tracking packages is only relevant to USA, Canada & U.K.
Since Italy isn't included.. i'm S.O.L.
There isn't anything paypal will do.. except provide an email to the person asking for reimbursement - there is nothing they can legally do to retrieve the money.

Does Paypal charge for this??
Would it work the same for domestic packages if you ship through Paypal?
If a foreign buyer uses a non-PP form of payment is there anyway to confirm delivery?
The Marcofunk enigma acquires a new dimension...
should i start a poll?
what to do with marco. maybe i'll just not sell to him anymore. i definitely don't need his money.
dude is such a fucking idiot, he seriously didn't even look through his collection to see if he had the record already. he just typed in the name through his record collection database and nothing came up.
dudes, just because your rich, doesn't afford you the right to be THAT stupid. ok?
I don't know the exact details...
but I was at the post office yesterday sending 80+ packages (that took me half the day to package and write addresses) when some guy came in with at least 200 packages laughing at me for still sending the "old fashioned way".
He had these neat, white, printed out labels on his packages that he said he printed out at the paypal site and it took about 45 minutes for 200+ packages according to him. Dude also said that paypal offers tracking #'s to Europe!!! FUCK myself for not having a printer.
The guy seemed to know EVERYTHING about shipping/usps/paypal though. [email]musicnmore@comcast.net[/email] was the email he gave me, might wanna holler (no ayo) at him.
