Which is the real deal regarding Ebay and bootlegs? Ebay officially does
not allow bootleg sales, but they are everywhere there. Let me put it
clear that I'm not properly claiming against bootlegs at all, I really
don't care about them and that's not my point here. What I really want
to know is, if selling bootlegs is so clearly forbidden on Ebay, how
come they're all over the place there, fetching sometimes high final
prices?
Another question: what use is there on those shipping charts that list
all the countries with respective costs? my girlfriend entered Ebay and
Paypal mainly beacuse she wanted so much the deleted Dead Can Dance box.
In her first Ebay experience, she won the box, but the American seller -
who announced he would sell worldwide, accepted Paypal and used that
shipping chart - demanded an absurd amount for shipping. Instead of the
12 dollars announced to our country on the chart, he demanded two other
options, 58 or 100 dollars! and this was a guy who had 100% positive
feedback! After a long dispute, with no deal between parts, the seller
refused to sell the box to her. Ebay, then, gave the final verdict: "we
can not oblige the seller to follow the chart". So, what's the point?
Fortunately, she finally got the box from another American seller, with
a something like 10-12 dollars cost stamped on the package.
Rafael.
