The Giant

However, in my defense, I should also add this: He did say during the call that it was good I didn't send it away immediately since he would not have been there to receive it, since he was travelling and wouldn't have been back till next week. So to a certain extent, I think i was correct in trying ...

Everything is resolved. The guy just called me, he's been away travelling and didn't have access to email (you guys were right, as usual). He actually has a loft in Manhattan and he'll pick it up next week from me. He also started telling me about his massive rock and roll memorabilia collection, an...

yes, totally agree. it's one of my many personality flaws actually, being overly obsessive and worrying too much about things i can't control. you're right robo, done and done! will send it out tomorrow! thanks everyone for contributing, it's been therapeutic... most of my other friends start tuning...

yea i've tried to message him through the ebay messaging system multiple times. last night i actually invoked the find members detail option on ebay, and have his phone number. i am going to sit on that for bit, a part of me thinks i don't want to stir the pot too much, i don't want him to think i'm...

thanks guys for all your advice. i've decided to send him one final email updating him of my intentions, that since he has paid me, that if he doesn't reply me either way, to hand deliver or mail, i will post it by friday with sig and delivery confirmation and insurance (i'm assuming if no one is th...

hey all, thought i'd see what you guys think of this. i recently sold a print on ebay for last week, and upon the completion of the auction, i noticed that the buyer actually lives within driving distance of where i'm at, so i thought a good idea would be to include a note along with the invoice ask...

"For example, a limited edition print with Mr. Obama’s face and the word “hope,” produced by Shepard Fairey, a graffiti artist, originally sold for $25. With all 600 sold out, the pieces are now going for as much as $1,500 on eBay, Mr. Fairey said." Hot Demand for Political Gear in a Hot ...

So i will be sending back the print, and upon him receiving the print in satisfactory condition, i will be provided a refund. regarding the insurance, i was wondering what exactly does it provide me or the the receiver of the package if something does happen to it? it's a little confusing to me, sin...

So the latest, After showing him my photographic proof, the seller of the damaged print is being a bit more reasonable and is willing to offer me a full refund (minus shipping) once i send it back. I will include insurance, delivery confirmation, tracking. Is it typical protocol that the seller will...

finally got my shipping confirmation and tracking today. my number was in the 580's. super excited.

Update guys- This is turning into a real tooth and nail fight. Anyone's gone through a similar thing, and if so, any tips? Are chances pretty good that one will usually get a refund in these cases? Correspondence so far on the PP dispute center (identities have been changed to X and Y) From Me: Hell...

thanks for all your comments guys! as circa77 said, i think i will notice it every time i look at it, i'm that type of person. so i decided to go ahead and initiate a claim and get a full refund. what a downer, my new frame for it from AF is already on its way. just have to keep my eye out for anoth...

hey guys, just wanted your opinion on this. i bid successfully on a peace mujer print on ebay, and received it the other day. according to the seller, this print was in mint condition. after unrolling to inspect it, i noticed this "scratch" that ran across the lower half of the print. it i...

i have yet to get shipping info, my number was in the high 500's, though i didn't have the dreaded ***'s... i'm still pretty confident it'll get to me. i'm gonna give it another week before i'll start to get nervous...

anyone had any issues cutting bainbridge 8-ply alpharag on their matcutters. i love my mats thick, and this amounts to an 1/8th inch board. i guess in terms of experience, i'm quite a crafty person being an architect, but i haven't had much experience cutting mats using the machines, though i'm sure...

great thread, any thoughts for or against this particular mat cutter- logan 450?
thinking of picking it up from d!ck blick since it's almost half off the retail price there...

paid 275 for a peace mujer yesterday, i absolutely love the print so i just had to have it. missed out on the initial drop and finally saved enough to get it from a flipper. EB shows it's only going up in value so i think that made the decision for me. can't wait to frame it up!

you don't need to input your username/pass on the site unless you are asked for it, which happened to me once during the ordeal when it said my shopping cart timed out (entering that info allows you to go back straight to your cart). if you are not asked, you don't need to enter.

dunder, after paypal sequence, you must get to the obey site confirmation page and the only after you click "confirm purchase" and also receive the confirmation number is your purchase secured! keep trying. any error pages during the process means that you haven't paid yet and haven't boug...

i am absolutely ecstatic. got a confirmation number! been waiting for the drop since 12:01am 12/14. always knew about obey, but only recently got into it. and now totally hooked. perserverence pays off! never worked so hard for a purchase, and at the same time, never had a more gratifying purchase. ...
