ED-209 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I didn't get it. I did get a warning about selling outside feebay this week. Maybe the lack of FVF is a punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoisbiggles Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Looks like Paypal has started rolling out its policy of keeping all their fees on eBay refunds (percentage and $0.30). The Paypal apologists on the eBay boards suggest putting up prices to accommodate this Paypal policy. I will be looking very closely at the T&C's of eBay's new preferred provider.

Val-E Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 That´s a terrible policy and will accelerate their downfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard1982 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 That´s a terrible policy and will accelerate their downfall.Agree; however, eBay’s new platform will incorporate the same structure as PayPal.I’m 99% getting around it by removing immediate pay from my listings. 99.9% pay immediately anyway. Out of 2000+ transactions this year, I’ve only had one return.

Val-E Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It´s also double dipping as on top of keeping the commission they also charge the seller that flat fee so it actuallly works out better for them when buyers cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoisbiggles Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Of the ~400 transactions this year (touch wood) only had 3 go missing all under $20 in value - 2 of which ended being RTS. In each case, without tracking any dispute I'm going to lose. So after a few emails back and forth if item hasn't been delivered, I ask the buyer to open an INR case - and I refund them immediately. The buyer may or may not be added to my BBL. Not sure WTF Paypal does in this process to earn the right to keep the percentage component of the fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Starting tomorrow, lego are asking us to pay $180 for a clock sized wooden minifig, that doesn’t tell the time. So how long HAS pot been legal in Denmark? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how long HAS pot been legal in Denmark? So it's only the size of a Lego clock? I love those. I have a Batman Movie Joker next to my bed, and my 6yo boy has a Stormtrooper next to his. They are such shieet 80s-style clocks but the minifigs look cool. But I digress... if this thing is no bigger than the clock, what were they thinking? I thought it'd be twice the size of a clock. What a rip off! Edited November 3, 2019 by ED-209 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoisbiggles Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Coles are selling the HP Advent Calendar for $49 - crap price but come boxing day if any survive maybe available for $20 - $25. Picked up the Dragon Dance guy from the new local Lego store (Chermside, QLD). Small store - not very many exclusives. Three staff members all talking to themselves - can't see this ending well.

Negatory here. Will be buying for personal build only. Global release this time round - I expect that Lego will produce more than enough to meet demand.
