The eBay BS Game: Questionable items, Stephen King signatures, sellers

Now eBay doesn't pay right away when an item is sold. I just sold an item and this statement was part of the notice I received:

Although the buyer has paid, the funds will be on hold until 1 day after we can confirm delivery. Keep in mind it may take longer to get paid if the buyer reports a problem or we detect an issue with the transaction.

I sold an item two days ago, and another a half-week before that, and that hold didn't happen to me. Funds for both transactions hit my bank a day or so after, as always.

Me too - I have had no issues getting my payments in a timely fashion.

It might be because I haven't sold anything on there in a while. :orely:

Signatures are good, seller is new though. I would check to see if they will package securely in a box.
Not just a padded envelope if you go for it.

Looks great! Very reasonable price, as well. Jacket has some rubbing, but you can always replace that.

Apparently a couple of signed (& inscribed) sleeping beauties and a ton of PCs on eBay lately. Prices are also softer recently.

eBay Seller alert. This seller the-retro-life pumps out forgeries like crazy. They are also an equal opportunity forger. Not only Stephen King. Every signed book they are selling has a forged signature and/or drawing.
