just a heads up, by ab on Jul 10, 2007 23:35:55 GMT 1, today i recieved an empty tube in the post
it was meant to contain a print that i had got in a trade
with me having already sent my print to the other party
IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE
and its all been resolved
but it just really made me think
it would have been really hard to resolve if i had been ripped off
we should all really open tubes BEFORE signing for them in the presence of the post chap
that way if its empty you dont sign you didnt recieve and it would hopfully just make things easier for you to sort out.

just a heads up, by verbalkint on Jul 11, 2007 0:18:34 GMT 1, ITS A BLATANT SCAMMERS TRICK AND YOU ARE VERY WISE TO BRING IT UP.
SOMEONE BUYS ONE OF MY ITEMS ON EBAY FOR ยฃ500 FROM, SAY, SPAIN. I SEND IT OUT, THEY RECEIVE IT AND PUT A DISPUTE IN WITH PAYPAL SAYING ITEM IS NOT AS STATED IN AUCTION. AT THIS POINT THAT ยฃ500 IS FROZEN IN MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT AND I CANNOT DO SHIT. AS A SELLER I KNOW THAT PAYPAL ALWAYS COME DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE BUYER (USUALLY) SO I THINK SOD IT, TELL THE BUYER THROUGH PAYPAL THAT IF THEY SEND THE ITEM BACK, I WILL ISSUE THEM WITH A FULL REFUND. THEY SEND ME A PACKAGE BY REGISTERED MAIL, I SIGN FOR IT, OPEN IT, THERE IS NOTHING INSIDE. MEANWHILE THEY GIVE THE TRACKING DETAILS TO PAYPAL AND CONFIRM TO PAYPAL THAT I HAVE RECEIVED THE PACKAGE, I COMPLAIN TO PAYPAL THAT THE PACKAGE WAS EMPTY BUT PAYPAL HAVE TO GO ON THE FACTS THEY HAVE AND SO AWARD THE BUYER A FULL REFUND.
BECAUSE THE BUYER IS OVERSEAS YOU CANNOT CALL THE POLICE TO PRESS CHARGES AND IT COSTS ALOT TO GO OVER AND BATTER THEM TO DEATH WITH THE FAT END OF A POOL CUE!!
THIS HAPPENS ALOT WITH EXPENSIVE ITEMS LIKE DIAMONDS, ONE OF MY BIGGEST COMPETITORS (AND FRIENDS) HAS HAD IT HAPPEN TO HIM 7 OR 8 TIMES, I AM LUCKY SO FAR. BUT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY NO REASON WHY THIS COULD NOT HAPPEN WITH PRINTS. SOMEONE IN AMERICA BUYS YOUR BANKSY AND THEN SAYS ITS CREASED AND PUTS A STOP ON YOUR MONEY. SENDS AN EMPTY TUBE BACK AND THEN CLAIMS THE MONEY BACK FROM PAYPAL. EVEN IF IT DOES NOT WORK (AND IT PROBABLY WILL) THEY HAVE STILL GOT WHAT THEY PAID FOR, SO THEY ARE IN A NO LOSE SITUATION, IF THEY HAVE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS THEY COULD DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH PAYPAL, IF THE BUYER IS BEING DODGY, IT AUTOMATICLY GIVES THEM THE WINNING HAND AS YOU DONT HAVE THEIR MONEY, PAYPAL DOES.
I HAVE HAD 6 OCCASIONS WHERE BUYERS (5 FROM LATVIA, 1 FROM POLAND) CLAIMED THEIR PACKAGES HAD NOT ARRIVED, WHEN I CHECKED ON THE TRACKING SYSTEM THEY HAD BEEN DELIVERED, SO I GAVE THE TRACKING NUMBERS TO PAYPAL, HEARD NOTHING FOR A MONTH (AND THESE TRACKING NUMBERS PROVED WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT THE ITEMS HAD BEEN DELIVERED) THEY THEN CONTACTED ME AND SAID THAT THEY WANTED LOADS OF DOCUMENTATION FAXED OVER TO THEM, I DONT HAVE A FAX MACHINE (DONT NEED ONE) SO I PISSED ABOUT TRYING TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO SEND IT FROM, SENT IT ALL OVER, THEN THEY REFUNDED THE BUYER SAYING THEY HAD NOT GOT THE FAX, BUT I HAD NO WAY OF CHECKING AS I DIDNT HAVE A CONTACT NUMBER (THEY WONT GIVE YOU THOSE) SO NOW EVERY TIME A FOREIGN BUYER PUTS A CLAIM IN I JUST LET THEM GET REFUNDED BECAUSE THERE IS FUCK ALL POINT IN BUSTING YOUR ARSE WHEN THEY WILL GET YOUR MONEY IN THE END ANYWAY
ON THE WHOLE I HAVE BEEN LUCKY WITH PAYPAL, BUT THEY ARE A MASSIVE SET OF c**t AND I HOPE THE MD GETS INGROWING EYE LASHES.
BUT TO THE O/P..... YOU MAKE AN EXCELLENT POINT, ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT ALOT OF POSTMEN ARE MISERABLE TWATS AND SIMPLY WILL NOT WAIT FOR YOU TO OPEN THEM UP AND CHECK, AND SOME OF THEM WILL NOT EVEN GIVE THEM TO YOU UNTIL YOU SIGN FOR THEM, BUT IT CERTAINLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM IF YOU DO CHECK FIRST
SORRY FOR THE ESSAY

just a heads up, by bored with screen names on Jul 11, 2007 0:33:42 GMT 1, I ordered a Get Acquainted with a Faile Girl edition of 5 POW print of ebay for about $1000. It arrived, and I was excited to see it waiting for me when I got home. My roommate told me to look closer at the tube. AN ENTIRE END CAP WAS MISSING. I mean, I figured the odds that the print were still inside were so slim, and if it was, that it was surely damaged. Amazingly it was in great shape.
I guess this doesn't really belong here, but I'm always willing to share that story to anyone that'll listen. haha
I don't know what I'd do if my, let's say, Shell Blood for Oil print showed up with no print inside. Cry myself to sleep for a number of weeks I'd imagine.

Make the f*ckin postie wait, he's made us wait in the past for our prints.

just a heads up, by Tyler Durden on Jul 11, 2007 11:47:26 GMT 1, I'm just always curious by nature. If you swap by post, you run the risk of getting ripped off and not getting what you thought you were getting. BUT, if someone arranges a swap on the forum then you go meet and get confronted by a couple of 7 foot tall, tooled up hairless gym gorillas, then bang goes your print (or your legs). I've never shat myself so much as coming home to find a print of mine just left on the doorstep. I sure as hell didn't sign for it so what if someone had half inched that one eh?

My sentiments exactly. Paypal can be a total ball ache.
Same goes for most posties/ post office. Scrotal funghi.
If you get anything from UPS or any of the courier companies, they tell you not to sign for it if there is any damage to the tube, and get it returned from whwence it came. I never seem to rememebr this but fortunately I've had nowt buggered by the postal service
