Anyone dealt with artist Cunni / PicturePlanetStor, by andimate on Feb 23, 2010 8:50:53 GMT 1, Buying 2 prints off them but they are asking for feedback before they post the items. Claiming Paypal won't release funds until feedback is left positive.
Is this a new Ebay rule? Anyone dealt with them before? Trustworthy?
Here is there last reply after I said no to leaving feedback:
Hi there mate,
yes I understand it is a crazy request. Others that have dealt with us have
done it, but we understand you havent dealt with us yet. We have managed to get you
one print out tomorrow. When you receive that one hopefully you can see that everything is as described and you can leave feedback for the two. Paypal will then
release our funds and we can purchase the paper to print your last one. We have printed it but typically on last piece of paper got a couple of ink runs and print no good. If this isnt acceptable we will have to refund your payment for the other print until we have new velvet paper. You will note the rest of the auctions have been taken down as yours took up the last two pieces. Typically last few transactions have been held due to shipping delays with snow!! we replace paper when down to last few sheets but have been unable to this time due to cash in paypal. As soon as yours is released we can buy the paper and deliver your final print, we can assure you, you have nothing to worry about, your prints will be delivered. I am the actual artist
Sorry for this, it is an isolated incident and will not be repeated
best regards
CUNNI

feel free to call to confirm should you wish

Anyone dealt with artist Cunni / PicturePlanetStor, by Poppy Sunshine on Feb 23, 2010 9:31:07 GMT 1, Hi andimate,
Ebay have held funds with me a couple of times before.
Not sure if it's a spot check or exactly what the reason is but you can be sure there will be a good reason for it so do what ebay say and wait until you get the print before leaving the feedback.
If anything was to be wrong then you are screwed if you haven't followed the instructions.
Also, if they have nothing to hide then they have no reason not to play by the rules also.
Pretty simple really and they are making themselves look a little suspicious.
Even more so when you consider they've made 50 sales in the last month but say they can't afford some paper to print any more stock on.
I'm sure they are probably fine and look like they've had plenty of reasonable feedback but they are not really doing themselves any favours with this request.
You are right to be wary. They have nothing to lose but you have everything to lose.
Good luck.

Think its some sort of procedure to protect the buyer a little bit. It will come out of your account but be held in transit. Then when you get the prints and leave positive feedback, they'll release it.
Up tp you what you do i guess. Tries to do the same thing to protect myself with a buy before but couldnt cos i had too much feedback.

I bought a piece from Cunni before Christmas,
Think it took nearly 2 months to turn up, said they had a problem with their hard drive and were having problems accessing the orders.
I waited it out, and it did turn up, late, but it did arrive.
There do seem to have been a couple of small changes to ebay too.
I had problems finding someones address yesterday, said I had to register to print postage labels.
Hope this helps

Seems as though it could all be legit.
