This was happening a few years ago
ones that automatically renew at the end of 30 days would add best offer even if the original listing didn’t have it. So annoying.

Went away for a while
now it’s happening again. eBay must be desperate to make some money.

I did make some sales though. I was too lazy to update some listings and ended up moving some things for OBO. So their scheme worked on me.

Literally giving me a headache looking at this. They realize that whole entire corner of book is gone, right??

This is a reason I love listing damaged books starting at cheap low starting bid prices. People are stupid and think they’re gonna get it cheap, then someone comes along and outbids them and then the bidding wars start cause people can’t stand to lose until it’s too late and they realize
 "oh man, why’d I spend so much on this
 "

Wow. That magic word “newsstand” has more power than I thought.

#193

Considering just how rare some are it’s definitely warranted as reflected in recent record breaking sales. However just the front cover corner missing would be a dealbreaker for me. Let alone it being the entire books corner.

I actually bought a bunch of newsstands about a year ago from this seller. Shipping was horrible so I haven’t bought since. Although I know others who have and the shipping’s vastly improved. Nice enough guy.

I understand coverless keys selling for crazy amounts. You can at the least get a reproduction cover or splurge and track down the real covers. You can’t track down the missing corner in this case.

Soon that will be a CGC 9.6

#195

Doesn’t CGC rip off a little piece off books as proof before encapsulating them forever? :stuck_out_tongue:

As long as it’s in “unread” condition it’s a great deal, right @agentpoyo?

Unread doesn’t mean never handled. In fact, it really only applies to the interior. Exterior could have Cheeto finger prints all over it.

#201

Mmmmmmm Cheetos
 Thats like a bonus!

Add saliva to the list of bodily fluids on Poyo’s books
still unread.

Anyone else switch to ebays new payment management system yet? It’s something everyone has to do if you want to sell. It’s basically cutting out PayPal so potentially less fees. All payments will have fees deducted before being transferred into your checking account. If this means no monthly invoices I’ll be happy. All my listings are free so my only fees come when I actually sell something. I’d much rather have them deduct them and then deposit my money rather than that monthly invoice when I sell something.

I thought they were going to allow other methods of payments. If they’re forcing people to use their own payment system, I’m out. Later eBay!
