For the record I made my first ever e-bay purchase yesterday.

Not Jag related at all, just a video tape Star Trek Voyager 7.13 which completes the collection. Price paid £2.20 with P&p 2.50

Is this starting small or what.

Just hoping all works out OK, the seller seems to have very good feedback, over 1500 positive coments and just 3 negative over last 12 months

Hi Jaq

Dan is right , it can be addictive. Your purchase should be ok, 99.999999% are.
Watch the sellers T&C however. They are totally illegal.

He is a business (whatever he may say) and his return policy is illegal.

You can return within 7 days for a full refund if you wish (Distance Selling Regulations)
and items lost in post are his legal responsibility

Phil , i dont want to get into a debate about this, but if you sell your kitchen table on ebay cuz you no longer need it , would you declare that to the tax man to ?

Vince
No I wouldn't. There is a difference between selling your kitchen table on Ebay (or anywhere else) and having over 500 items listed on an online auction house at any one time.
The guy is in business , irrespective of where he sources his goods and as such should act like one. He is buying goods in to sell on at a profit.
He has legal responsibilities to his buyers and indeed to the tax man.
Now.....................what have we talked about in previous threads about businesses ripping people off ?

A tax dodging business (if he is doing so) is ripping every one of us off.
A business seller who is adding £1.00 insurance into his shipping is ripping off the buyer as the buyer needs no additional insurance. The only insurance he needs is the legal responsibility the seller has to ensure the buyer gets his goods. etc etc etc

Shall take note of what you say.

Sellers feedback about 97% it a guy called Jim who seems to have a shop in Barking.

We have all the next gen on video, seeking only 7.12 for deep space nine.

The original series a bit more patchy. We had them all on DVD but series 2 got stolen in a burglary last June. Trying to get all on video as well though.

There are 3 or 4 Babylon 5 we are after and Blake seven tape 3 assuming that 14 was the last UK one available. Definitely avoiding US seller from a compatibility and posting point of view.

Think it is a 14 day return policy for that seller but if its a duff video tape I would probably write it off to experience and try again.

Jaq

As I wrote 99.999% od Ebay deals are fine. It can be great source of sought after items.
Things only go wrong when they go pear shaped (if you know what I mean)
I was essentially advising you that if the film does not arrive he is responsible for a full refund or replacement whatever he may state on his listings. It is not at the Post Offices discretion if you have not paid for insurance.

So far everything I have sucessfully bid on has arrived and no problems.

This includes the Voyager tape, a brown wade canal boat and what I think is meant to be a naval office decorative decanter with the figure sitting on a barrel with 6 tot glasses hanging round the base. One of the tot glasses had clearly at some point had a broken handle well repaired but with crack still showing. I cant argue for a bid of £2 though. I bid on it with about 5 minutes to spare and no previous bid. Hes a lot of fun stamped foreign which I believe means post first world war so assumed German.

I may get addicted to this game.

I've lost count how many times this one has been re-listed - I wonder why its never been snapped up ? maybe too high a reserve Huh

Not my cup of tea - but must be collectable Undecided

Notice something familiar with the sellers name ? maybe a certain top gear presenter has a second income from e-bay Grin
