Onlythe10's, some helpful advice would be to eliminate a time period, and to accept checks and Money orders. You are eliminating potential bidders with your foolish policies. It probably matters none as I doubt anybody with real money is bidding on your items.
It truly amazes me why sellers prefer, and go out of their way, to eliminate legit potential bidders. Losing just one bidder can be crucial!

<< <i>lol, now you get to decide when and where people post? >>
No, it's just pointless because people arent reading the whole thread. They're reading page one and then replying.
I got my answer... I know you all think my ebay format is crap... but I got my original answer.. no need for more "You should do a 7 day policy" when I said that four pages ago.
So I'm all set.
You and the rest of the clowns can continue your show if you'd like....

I said it was a dumb thread - didn't call you names.
CU is for the discussion of cards and memorabilia - you have a very strict policy that needs no input from anyone but you, ebay, and your customer.
Yes - I'm tired of this forum becoming one big sounding board for ebay sellers.
I don't mind if it's about how someone got stung by a seller - that's informative.
But, this thread is totally outside the realm of the spirit of this board - take it up with ebay, take it up with the customer, take it up with your priest, take it up with Dear Abby, take it up with your state congressman.
I stated my opinion on this thread - it's dumb - and after your response - it just got even dumber!

You hurt me Mike, you really hurt me
I thought I was responsible for making the dumbest thread in the history of CU???
Alan, i've read parts and pieces and noticed you said about you always paying on time, so I wanted to say that I don't remember myself ever bidding on something and not paying for it by paypal right there on the spot, thats just how I do it, because I would want the same to me.
Of course I pay right then and there because all I do when I win something is snipe it myself at the last 5 seconds, so thats how I pay for it right then and there, but if I were to bid on something early on and win it, I wouldn't let a day go by and not have the item paid for.
i am not interested in taking sides or busting anyone's stones. just my 2 cents here... i personally do not have any stated terms in respect to timely payments in my listings. i would think that customers may see 3 days mandatory payment as a little demanding. further, they may see the seller as uptight. i dont try to pressure my customers. repeat business is not a bad thing. if a seller emailed me after 3 days asking where the $ is, i would be rather aggravated. now, i dont see why people cant pay in 3 days time, but so what. if it takes them a week, then so be it. seven days seems to be the norm here. just my opinion.
Lets review what has happened here. And if your memory still works... you'll remember that I've had to do a breakdown like this before....
1) I asked a VALID question about an eBay policy 2) I got my answer 3) You and several other board members have called me names, scrutinized my auction format, called me a liar, twisted my words, called my thread dumb, bumpo the thread just to say hi to eachother, etc...
At what point was I out of line here? If was Y O U and a lot of other board members.
It was only after you idiots made fun of me that I got mad.

agreed about the content of this board.
All of the ebay questions and sports talk stuff and VCP help threads do not belong on here.
The problem is, there is a not a lot left to be discussed about 90% of the cards collected here. It is not like N54 where you can discuss questions regarding post war sets. Most of what we collect here is either common knowledge, or has been discussed before so when a new question comes up, it is quickly answered and sinks to the bottom. Most of the sets we collect here have no more questions or answers being seeked. It is hard to discuss cards when there is no questions to discuss.
Having said that, the personal collections, mail call, the Mick rookie trade thread are fantastic.
I eliminate EBAY customers who cannot pay with PayPal.
To accept paper-payments would require me to have an employee to do nothing but account for the money and make EBAY deposits.
I lose MANY sales because of my policy. I would lose money, if I did it differently.
PP dumps show me what I collected and make the tax forms EZ.
(I do take checks from collectibles customers that I have weaned off of EBAY. If an EBAYer asks me nicely and understands that shipping will be delayed on expensive items, I often agree to take a check or MO. Sadly, MOST requests are hostile: "You just lost a big sale because you only take PayPal." NOT really the kind of folks I want to deal with.)

Not everybody here gets along with everybody else, but of all the people on this board I never thought I would see Stone called a moron. Several people called me a moron when I mentioned I offered to buy that Rackie Robinson card from you, they convinced me that they were right.
In 1994, when calling the highlights for a game in which Marv Albert described Sam Cassell as being "on fire," Dan Patrick said he was "el fuego", which he thought was Spanish for "on fire." A few months later, he received a letter from a Spanish teacher in Pennsylvania suggesting that he say that athletes are "en fuego" (on fire) rather than "el fuego" (the fire). Since then, Patrick has used "en fuego" on certain occasions when a player is said to be "on fire." Patrick started using the "en fuego" phrase because he believed the standard "on fire" phrase had become cliché.

...........is an American alternative metal band from Atlanta, Georgia. They formed in late 1994 under the name "Crawlspace"[1] but later were forced to change their name to Sevendust when a group from the West Coast claimed rights to Crawlspace.[2] They were originally signed to TVT Records, but then released their fifth album with Winedark Records (through Universal Music) in the US, and Roadrunner Records overseas. Currently, they are signed to Asylum Records.
[edit] Recent News
As of March 26th, of 2008, Sevendust has announced that Clint Lowery, former Guitarist and vocalist for the band, will be returning to lineup. Further details on this have not been announced, including what is going to happen with current guitarist, Sonny Mayo.
[edit] History
[edit] Sevendust (1997-1998 Era)
Sevendust released their first self-titled album on April 15, 1997, known for its heavy riffs, angry vocals and thrash-like drumming, as the songs "Black" and "xxxxx".[3] "Black" was the opening song for nearly every Sevendust concert until 2004. The debut album also contains the song "My Ruin" from the Mortal Kombat soundtrack album entitled More Kombat released by TVT Records.[1] After they appeared at Ozzfest 1998 and Dynamo Open Air the same year, their self-titled album went gold.[4]
[edit] Home (1999-2000 Era)
Two years later, in 1999, they released their second album, Home, which had also gone gold and become known for the songs "Denial", and "Waffle" for which they have shot music videos. Skin from Skunk Anansie and Chino Moreno from Deftones appeared as guest vocalists on two songs, "Licking Cream" and "Bender". Also featured on "Bender" was additional guitar work by Troy McLawhorn of doubleDrive. They got a chance to play on the Late Night with Conan O'Brien show by playing Waffle. They appeared in Woodstock 1999 and have toured with many bands such as Koßn, Staind, Reveille, Godsmack, Mudvayne, Powerman 5000, Creed, Kid Rock, Machine Head, Limp Bizkit and Metallica. In 1999, they gained European exposure by opening for Skunk Anansie at various shows in Germany. They also joined Slipknot, Coal Chamber and other bands on a tour called "Tattoo The Earth Tour" in June of 2000 .
[edit] Animosity (2001-2002 Era)
They then headed into the studio to record their third album, Animosity, which was released on November 13, 2001. This album went gold and gained the band commercial success. They managed to obtain a spot on Late Night with David Letterman where they played an Acoustic Version of Angel's Son featuring Paul Shaffer on Keyboards. In the same year they are also seen in the Chris Rock movie Down to Earth as a partial clip of "Waffle" is played. Sevendust went on hiatus in 2002 due to the death of Lajon's brother.
[edit] Seasons (2003-2004 Era)
In 2003, Sevendust returned with their fourth album, Seasons, with the hit songs "Enemy", "Broken Down", "Face to Face" and "Separate". The song "Enemy" was used as the official theme song for WWE Unforgiven 2003. In 2004, for the first time in the band's career, they released a live album on a CD/DVD double disk package titled Southside Double-Wide: Acoustic Live. Both the CD and the DVD include a tribute cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. In 2004, it was announced Clint Lowery had left the band due to musical differences, to be replaced by Sonny Mayo (from Snot and Amen).[1] Clint is now working with a new band called Dark New Day which also features his brother, Corey Lowery. At roughly the same time, Sevendust and TVT Records parted ways.
[edit] Next (2005-2006 Era)
On October 11, 2005, Sevendust released their fifth studio album, Next, on their second label, Winedark Records, distributed by Universal Music. In the process, Sevendust also created their own record label, 7Bros Records. The first radio single off Next was the track "Ugly", released to radio August 9, 2005 followed by a music video. The track "Pieces" appeared on the soundtrack for the film Saw II.[5] Next debuted at #20 in the US, selling around 37,000 copies in its first week, relatively unheard of for a band of Sevendust's hard rock genre. Not much longer after the release of Next, Sevendust's former label TVT Records released a greatest hits package for Sevendust, titled Best of (Chapter One 1997-2004), the label's final Sevendust release.[6]
[edit] Alpha (2007 Era)
Sevendust released their sixth full-length studio album, entitled Alpha, on March 6, 2007. The album debuted at #14 in the US, the band's highest chart position yet, selling over 42,000 copies of the album in it's first week. The band also headlined a 57-date tour from February 8, 2007 to April 28, 2007.Boston heavy metal band Diecast, supergroup Invitro, and Christian rock band Red accompanied Sevendust on that tour.[7] Retrospective 2, a CD/DVD combo including three previously un-released studio tracks, live concert footage never before seen, as well as the new music videos for the songs "Beg To Differ", "Ugly", "Pieces", and "Driven", will be released on December 11, 2007.[8] Their songs "Feed" and "Driven" were used in the soundtrack to WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008.
[edit] Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow (2008 Era)
It has been announced that Sevendust will return to the studio at the end of November to finish up their 7th studio album, titled Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow. The record was originally slated for a release of March 4, 2008. However, it will now be out on April 1st.[9] It has since been confirmed that Chris Daughtry and Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy will make appearances on the upcoming album.[10] They will do a tour of Australia in March to open up for Ozzy Osbourne. On February 26, 2008 it was announced that due to a conflict in schedule that Sevendust would not be participating in the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival. It was announced on March 26th during an interview with John Perry on 95 WIIL ROCK (WIIL-FM / Chicago) that Clint Lowery would be returning to the band.

HI EVERYBODY!! I wanted to get in and laugh at this A$$clown before he cries to Carolj and gets the thread locked. This clown has to be the biggest wanker nutcase in the history of the boards. You better be nice to him or else Technobaby will decide to take another break from the boards and then come back every 10 minutes to read what we say.
It could be his 3 month prescription for the meds to control the "Voices" has run out. He has become the exact same crybaby that was run out of here 3 months ago. Every single day we deal with these goofy problems and crazy questions. Almost 1800 posts in 3 months is crazy!! Thats 17 posts a day of mind numbing drool. Why are you so attached to this board?? The people here treat you like a fool and everybody is laughing at you. You have become the school nerd with the kick me sign on his back. You have become a proven liar today and you call some of the most well respected members here Morons and A**hole* and idiots.
Like you have been told by many people here, take a break, get your meds in order and see someone about your mental issues. Think up a new name and come back and behave yourself. And PLEASE stop with the idiotic and meaningless questions and posts. There is no race to 10,000 posts. Pace yourself.
Who will be the first to spot his new screen name? We seriously need a contest of some kind.
I am seriously quitting the business because of this fool.

I can understand the young mans frustration. Its good to have transactions finalized without delay. Although I sell only once a year or so, I do purchase regularly. I am going to implement my own 3 day policy. Once I pay through PayPal I want the card in my mailbox within 3 days or I will leave a NEG. In fact if I don't like the Sellers attitude I will pay late Saturday, and if the next Monday is a holiday that is not my problem. Tuesday delivery or Neg.

Your new policy will fit in quite nicely with eBay's new feedback policy for sellers.

I think it's telling that nobody has yet delivered a cogent argument for why this new feedback policy will adversely effect honest sellers. It will, however, hurt a lot of people's feelings, which I suspect is at the heart of most of the resistance.

True enough. Honest sellers shouldn't have too much to worry about, but they will have to watch out for the decent sized population of wackjob buyers. Honest sellers will have zero recourse against them.

But honest sellers have virtually no recourse now. If you're a wackjob buyer, do you give three craps and a buzzard whether or not you get 'negged'? Negative feedback coming from the seller to the buyer does virtually nothing to improve Ebay efficiency. All it does is make the seller feel better, since he had a chance to 'get even', and prevent disgruntled buyers from leaving what they would think is appropriate feedback for the transaction.

But, this thread is totally outside the realm of the spirit of this board - take it up with ebay, take it up with the customer, take it up with your priest, take it up with Dear Abby, take it up with your state congressman.
I stated my opinion on this thread - it's dumb - and after your response - it just got even dumber!
agreed about the content of this board.
All of the ebay questions and sports talk stuff and VCP help threads do not belong on here.
The problem is, there is a not a lot left to be discussed about 90% of the cards collected here. It is not like N54 where you can discuss questions regarding post war sets. Most of what we collect here is either common knowledge, or has been discussed before so when a new question comes up, it is quickly answered and sinks to the bottom. Most of the sets we collect here have no more questions or answers being seeked. It is hard to discuss cards when there is no questions to discuss.
Having said that, the personal collections, mail call, the Mick rookie trade thread are fantastic.

I eliminate EBAY customers who cannot pay with PayPal.
To accept paper-payments would require me to have an
employee to do nothing but account for the money and
make EBAY deposits.
I lose MANY sales because of my policy. I would lose
money, if I did it differently.
PP dumps show me what I collected and make the tax
forms EZ.
(I do take checks from collectibles customers that I have
weaned off of EBAY. If an EBAYer asks me nicely and
understands that shipping will be delayed on expensive
items, I often agree to take a check or MO. Sadly, MOST
requests are hostile: "You just lost a big sale because
you only take PayPal." NOT really the kind of folks I want
to deal with.)
DON'T CREATE THREADS ABOUT YOUR AUCTIONS.
It really is that easy.
As for you calling stone a moron, that says more about YOU than you will ever realize.
I said the thread was dumb - not you - it was my opinion.
I rarely say this kind of stuff - but you have a tremendously "strict" selling policy - come one - I can't believe you're not aware of that?
When you ask a question about it - most are gonna respond as "buyers" and find it oppressive. You need validation to figure that one out?
The question borders on being rhetorical.
I "was" kind of hard on you - but I'm allowed to voice my opinion.
This question has gotten more attention than most threads ABOUT the hobby where someone took some time to compose - gets 3 responses and is buried.
And yes - THAT'S annoying.

I don't see it that way.
But, on the issue of what equals "on topic," I think questions/discussions
about EBAY sales are totally fine.

Not everybody here gets along with everybody else, but of all the people on this board I never thought I would see Stone called a moron. Several people called me a moron when I mentioned I offered to buy that Rackie Robinson card from you, they convinced me that they were right.
You need a new ID again.

Nick, you, are, EN FUEGO today.
In 1994, when calling the highlights for a game in which Marv Albert described Sam Cassell as being "on fire," Dan Patrick said he was "el fuego", which he thought was Spanish for "on fire." A few months later, he received a letter from a Spanish teacher in Pennsylvania suggesting that he say that athletes are "en fuego" (on fire) rather than "el fuego" (the fire). Since then, Patrick has used "en fuego" on certain occasions when a player is said to be "on fire." Patrick started using the "en fuego" phrase because he believed the standard "on fire" phrase had become cliché.

...........is an American alternative metal band from Atlanta, Georgia. They formed in late 1994 under the name "Crawlspace"[1] but later were forced to change their name to Sevendust when a group from the West Coast claimed rights to Crawlspace.[2] They were originally signed to TVT Records, but then released their fifth album with Winedark Records (through Universal Music) in the US, and Roadrunner Records overseas. Currently, they are signed to Asylum Records.
[edit] Recent News
As of March 26th, of 2008, Sevendust has announced that Clint Lowery, former Guitarist and vocalist for the band, will be returning to lineup. Further details on this have not been announced, including what is going to happen with current guitarist, Sonny Mayo.
[edit] History
[edit] Sevendust (1997-1998 Era)
Sevendust released their first self-titled album on April 15, 1997, known for its heavy riffs, angry vocals and thrash-like drumming, as the songs "Black" and "xxxxx".[3] "Black" was the opening song for nearly every Sevendust concert until 2004. The debut album also contains the song "My Ruin" from the Mortal Kombat soundtrack album entitled More Kombat released by TVT Records.[1] After they appeared at Ozzfest 1998 and Dynamo Open Air the same year, their self-titled album went gold.[4]
[edit] Home (1999-2000 Era)
Two years later, in 1999, they released their second album, Home, which had also gone gold and become known for the songs "Denial", and "Waffle" for which they have shot music videos. Skin from Skunk Anansie and Chino Moreno from Deftones appeared as guest vocalists on two songs, "Licking Cream" and "Bender". Also featured on "Bender" was additional guitar work by Troy McLawhorn of doubleDrive. They got a chance to play on the Late Night with Conan O'Brien show by playing Waffle. They appeared in Woodstock 1999 and have toured with many bands such as Koßn, Staind, Reveille, Godsmack, Mudvayne, Powerman 5000, Creed, Kid Rock, Machine Head, Limp Bizkit and Metallica. In 1999, they gained European exposure by opening for Skunk Anansie at various shows in Germany. They also joined Slipknot, Coal Chamber and other bands on a tour called "Tattoo The Earth Tour" in June of 2000 .
[edit] Animosity (2001-2002 Era)
They then headed into the studio to record their third album, Animosity, which was released on November 13, 2001. This album went gold and gained the band commercial success. They managed to obtain a spot on Late Night with David Letterman where they played an Acoustic Version of Angel's Son featuring Paul Shaffer on Keyboards. In the same year they are also seen in the Chris Rock movie Down to Earth as a partial clip of "Waffle" is played. Sevendust went on hiatus in 2002 due to the death of Lajon's brother.
[edit] Seasons (2003-2004 Era)
In 2003, Sevendust returned with their fourth album, Seasons, with the hit songs "Enemy", "Broken Down", "Face to Face" and "Separate". The song "Enemy" was used as the official theme song for WWE Unforgiven 2003. In 2004, for the first time in the band's career, they released a live album on a CD/DVD double disk package titled Southside Double-Wide: Acoustic Live. Both the CD and the DVD include a tribute cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. In 2004, it was announced Clint Lowery had left the band due to musical differences, to be replaced by Sonny Mayo (from Snot and Amen).[1] Clint is now working with a new band called Dark New Day which also features his brother, Corey Lowery. At roughly the same time, Sevendust and TVT Records parted ways.
[edit] Next (2005-2006 Era)
On October 11, 2005, Sevendust released their fifth studio album, Next, on their second label, Winedark Records, distributed by Universal Music. In the process, Sevendust also created their own record label, 7Bros Records. The first radio single off Next was the track "Ugly", released to radio August 9, 2005 followed by a music video. The track "Pieces" appeared on the soundtrack for the film Saw II.[5] Next debuted at #20 in the US, selling around 37,000 copies in its first week, relatively unheard of for a band of Sevendust's hard rock genre. Not much longer after the release of Next, Sevendust's former label TVT Records released a greatest hits package for Sevendust, titled Best of (Chapter One 1997-2004), the label's final Sevendust release.[6]
[edit] Alpha (2007 Era)
Sevendust released their sixth full-length studio album, entitled Alpha, on March 6, 2007. The album debuted at #14 in the US, the band's highest chart position yet, selling over 42,000 copies of the album in it's first week. The band also headlined a 57-date tour from February 8, 2007 to April 28, 2007.Boston heavy metal band Diecast, supergroup Invitro, and Christian rock band Red accompanied Sevendust on that tour.[7] Retrospective 2, a CD/DVD combo including three previously un-released studio tracks, live concert footage never before seen, as well as the new music videos for the songs "Beg To Differ", "Ugly", "Pieces", and "Driven", will be released on December 11, 2007.[8] Their songs "Feed" and "Driven" were used in the soundtrack to WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008.
[edit] Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow (2008 Era)
It has been announced that Sevendust will return to the studio at the end of November to finish up their 7th studio album, titled Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow. The record was originally slated for a release of March 4, 2008. However, it will now be out on April 1st.[9] It has since been confirmed that Chris Daughtry and Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy will make appearances on the upcoming album.[10] They will do a tour of Australia in March to open up for Ozzy Osbourne. On February 26, 2008 it was announced that due to a conflict in schedule that Sevendust would not be participating in the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival. It was announced on March 26th during an interview with John Perry on 95 WIIL ROCK (WIIL-FM / Chicago) that Clint Lowery would be returning to the band.

I wanted to get in and laugh at this A$$clown before he cries to Carolj and gets the thread locked. This clown has to be the biggest wanker nutcase in the history of the boards. You better be nice to him or else Technobaby will decide to take another break from the boards and then come back every 10 minutes to read what we say.
It could be his 3 month prescription for the meds to control the "Voices" has run out. He has become the exact same crybaby that was run out of here 3 months ago. Every single day we deal with these goofy problems and crazy questions. Almost 1800 posts in 3 months is crazy!! Thats 17 posts a day of mind numbing drool. Why are you so attached to this board?? The people here treat you like a fool and everybody is laughing at you. You have become the school nerd with the kick me sign on his back. You have become a proven liar today and you call some of the most well respected members here Morons and A**hole* and idiots.
Like you have been told by many people here, take a break, get your meds in order and see someone about your mental issues. Think up a new name and come back and behave yourself. And PLEASE stop with the idiotic and meaningless questions and posts. There is no race to 10,000 posts. Pace yourself.
Who will be the first to spot his new screen name? We seriously need a contest of some kind.
I am seriously quitting the business because of this fool.

<< <i>I can understand the young mans frustration. Its good to have transactions finalized without delay. Although I sell only once a year or so, I do purchase regularly. I am going to implement my own 3 day policy. Once I pay through PayPal I want the card in my mailbox within 3 days or I will leave a NEG. In fact if I don't like the Sellers attitude I will pay late Saturday, and if the next Monday is a holiday that is not my problem. Tuesday delivery or Neg. >>
Your new policy will fit in quite nicely with eBay's new feedback policy for sellers.

I think it's telling that nobody has yet delivered a cogent argument for why this new feedback policy will adversely effect honest sellers. It will, however, hurt a lot of people's feelings, which I suspect is at the heart of most of the resistance.

True enough. Honest sellers shouldn't have too much to worry about, but they will have to watch out for the decent sized population of wackjob buyers. Honest sellers will have zero recourse against them.

But honest sellers have virtually no recourse now. If you're a wackjob buyer, do you give three craps and a buzzard whether or not you get 'negged'? Negative feedback coming from the seller to the buyer does virtually nothing to improve Ebay efficiency. All it does is make the seller feel better, since he had a chance to 'get even', and prevent disgruntled buyers from leaving what they would think is appropriate feedback for the transaction.
