I got 3 tunes in the post today off a guy on ebay. For a start they wernt even in a cardboard sleeve, he'd wrapped em in bubble wrap and brown paper. but there was a gap in the bubble wrap, and the idiot has sellotaped the bubble wrap across this gap so the tape had stuck to the lable of the tune. So of course the lable has now ripped :mad:
Its only a little bit thats come off but still :condom:

Also, is it normal to pay £2.50 postage per tune, for him then to send em together which only cost him £1.77 ??? :confused:

:(

Thats bad news Loulou, sellers should take care not to get tape or glue or whatever on the labels or sleeves,as of course, you have experienced it causes damage which is a pain. regarding the postage thing, you do get the odd seller that trys to charge full price for all the tunes bought (if you buy multiples). In these cases, I email the seller and ask them to send an invoice with the discounted rate for the additional 12"s, which invariably they will, as its standard procedure in the record selling game to offer a postage discount for additional purchases. As an example, I charge 2.30 (recorded) for the first and 70p each additional, which I feel is very fair. He/she has certainly tried it on here. I suggest emailing the guy and pushing for a refund of some kind. Ed

well he gave 25p dicount ( whoopy doo :| ) per additional tune, but the thing is, for some reason, it only deducted it for one tune, so in other words ive paid £2.50 for 2 tunes and £2.25 for the other, so i was gonna mail him bout that anyway.
Steep i know!! so you rekon i shud ask him to reduce the price of postage, see what he says, or suggest a price?? :|

In my opinion Lou lou, any more than a third of the cost of postage for the first record, for additional ones is excessive. Some sellers offer shipping on additional records for 50p which is very reasonable, but in most cases more than covers their costs. i would certainly email him and push for a refund of at least £2. Hope you get it sorted. Ed

i have had a tune sent in a carrier bag before now and the cheeky swine charged 3.50 for the pleasure ! so i know how bloody frustrating it is ! thankfully the polite email worked and i got a small refund . just let him know that if he / she isnt willing to sort some refund out that you will be forced to leave feedback letting other buyers know , if he /she is a reg seller im sure they wont want bad feedback , hope you get it sorted :thumbsup:

Lou the fact that you have paid all that money and they couldnt even be bothered to package the tunes properly means that they have skanked ya big time.

Try get a discount or refund love. Did you get these tunes pretty cheap too cause some sellers rip you off on postage to make that extra bit ya see.

Good luck though hun

here is the reply that i got from this wonderful seller

I think you'll find that many buyers have come back and bought from me time and again, so obviously they're not really that bothered about the postage costs. And to be honest, it's quite sad that you have nothing better to do with your time than send me messages about my postage costs! No one's making you buy from me are they? No. So what makes you think i care for your opinions? Because i really don't!
How's about you get a hobby to fill your time!!
Bye

he he, I wasn't even rude to him when i mailed him :D
