Ebay - thoughts welcomed..., by skybluemark on Mar 27, 2008 12:58:53 GMT 1, I have just bought Mantis i-Need from a guy on ebay and wanted to find out other people's experience of buying art this way.
The seller does not accept patpal - does this ring alarm bells for anyone? is there a major reason why someone would not want to have one?
Does anyone know if SOS will confirm the provenance of the piece if I supply them with the print number and the dudes name and address?
Appreciate any thoughts on the matter.

its like any purchase on Ebay - look at feedback, their communication and willingness, its probably s seller on this forum so i would imagions its all cool
all the best

I am sure s.o.s will be glad to help an admirer out.

if its not sent with a signature required, (which is still speculative as posties seem to let any tom dick or harry sign for a parcel) then you could claim you never received it, or you could bullshit and say it was damaged, Paypal tends to favour the buyer rather than seller.
