All of my VHS tapes are now 1 cent!!!!!

If you are interested in any titles please let me know and I will offer a great combined shipping!  I really need to clean out the house, and they are all in great shape..

Just check out my store - I have tons!

For Mal, Peg, Try, Mags, et al.....

I hate moronics.

Take a look at my last FB.

I had to email this person several times to tell her to CONFIRM her address with PayPal - she never did, and I had to wind up shipping it to her UNCONFIRMED flippin' address.  First she didn't respond at all, and then when I said I was going to refund her the money and not ship the item, she emails me back and says that her address IS confirmed (IT ISN'T) - this went back and forth a few times and finally I gave in and shipped it anyway - look at her reply to my FB!  I even took the time to explain to her HOW to confirm her address - she still didn't.  Obviously this noob has no clue what she is talking about.  She confirmed with ME 5 times????  lol  Then says for ME to read the PP help?

 

ARGH!!!!!!!!

 

Some people just make me want to pull my hair out.

I have a problem with a customer....

Well, not really sure if it's a problem or a glitch, but it's odd.  Someone bought something from me on the 7th, I approved his payment via PayPal on the 8th.  It was the correct amount, and included shipping:

$24.99 + $5.50 = $30.49

 

Problem is, it is now listed in my waiting to be shipped section, and the shipping cost says FREE, then when I click on "print shipping label", this is what it says:

Item Title Qty Price Subtotal
$24.99 USD $24.99 USD
Total Shipping and Handling Paid by Recipient: $0.00 USD

WHY does it say this????  There are no refunds, nothing out of the ordinary - should state the shipping amount on eBay and PayPal shipping, but it doesn't.

Happened to anyone else?

About the "0" FB buyers...

...this is my tip - I have blocked anyone that lives in an area where I do not ship, I have blocked anyone with NPB strikes, and those with a -1 or more FB.

I used to accept Money Orders and Cashier's checks, but no more - there has been a total rash of NP or Bad paying bidders, so I have also retrofitted MOST of my listings to IMMEDIATE PAYMENT required, and have restricted bidding  to PayPal account owners only.

SO, now I worry less about a bidder if they have "0" FB, knowing that my payment has a better chance of getting to me.

I was once a "0" FB myself, not long ago, and everyone has to start somewhere - I'm just cutting the odds of it being a bad transaction this way (that's the way I see it).

I do worry, however, about scammers still, and I really and truly do not like some of PayPal's practices, nor their fees, but I have found that since the change, it has been significantly better.

I think this was eBay's master plan, anyway - I'm just ahead of the gameplan in implementing it, I suppose.

Hope this info helps some of you!
