EBAY. RIGHT OR WRONG ?

Either your a negative feedback leaver, or your not. In the world of eBay your one or the other. As a potential seller of vinyl you probably do not want to get into leaving anything negative, because it will return to bite your backside sometime down the line, when you least expect it. It also shows other record dealers, & serious buyers, that you are difficult to deal with, & that will scare some off, especially the nervous, & they are the ones that usually spend big money.

 The whole eBay world is based on knowing your Psychology. If you have unrealistic expectations this is not the place for you. You will get the less experienced selling records that are not up to much, but their feedback should give you some understanding of what they are all about. In other words, if you have been sold some rubbish then sadly, its your own fault. Sorry to be harsh. I have learnt the hard way myself, & now I know what to expect. What you paid for that particular record on eBay you would of not got for the same price in a shop, & most people know this, which is why they take the risk of not seeing the condition of a record. Its morally wrong to leave negative feedback for someone who has sold you rubbish because they are not dealers, they are people clearing out the loft who require an email explaining the unwritten code of record grading. Your also able to get your money back through eBay anyway, so to take this kind of action would just shows naivety on your part. A stern email will suffice. If you do leave negative feedback others will see you as a ` Ball-Buster ` & steer clear of you.

 Thanks for the link. My thoughts; Well, not incredibly desirable records, as far as eBay goes. Marlena Shaw is your strongest point, but its not Marlena Shaw, circa 1968, which is very desirable, its Marlena Shaw 1978, big difference, along with your starting price, & it is this difference that speaks to other sellers & collectors. For what it says is, " I am just starting out - because I have not reached the stage where I can part with better stuff as yet ". 

 You will have difficulty selling this type of stuff at the starting price you have listed them at, Bruce. You may well get rid of one or two, but making the kind of money, I think you want to make, will not happen with these records, or genre either. This genre you have to stick up at 99p, & then suppress your anger when the same cheap-skate keeps buying them off you for 99p.
