Funnily enough I sold a few old CDs late last year, admittedly one was a bootleg, it was flagged and I received a warning, fair enough, but then one elapsed 30 days, was then relisted, flagged and I got a 3 day ban! I had no idea that one was a bootleg, it had a record label and looked pretty legit. eBay had little sympathy.
I recently had a cd removed as fake by ebay, they supplied their source for verifying media, I pointed out that the CD had x3 different designs and was even on the artists own website but they wouldn't have it, I pointed out that a few have sold in last 90 days and there were 3 vinyl 1 cassette and 1 other cd for sale so why pick on me, again they wouldn't have it.
I’m starting to pick up vinyls but find it frustrating when I get home and there are flaws which I missed like scatches. Do you listen to all the vinyls you buy before you sell them?
Hey i dont listen to them no but i only list records with no issues unless its an expensive record when i will listen to it and mention any issues as i will sell an expensive record with issues
@BrumReseller well said gaffer just saves looking through or might forget.I have had 20 people watching an item no offers no messages so probably 90% not interested.
I'm almost certain that Madonna record would've been manually flagged. I've sold a few Madonna items, one of which was a bootleg live CD. Someone messaged me to tell me it was a bootleg and they were gonna report it! Had a few other weird messages from her "fans" too. Similar when I've sold Micheal Jackson stuff too, some real weirdos out there 😂
Why would they be hellbent on that... I've sold some bootlegs in the past, I remember eBay removing 1 or 2 in the past.. where would you sell as even discogs won't sell some unofficial bootleg items
Technically an interview picture disc is not a bootleg. It’s not copyrighted material. If anything it’s the pictures used that are own by photographers
After years on eBay selling I sold an object not realising it was a copy fake and eBay closed my account straight away no way to complain or reopen my account be careful they won’t explain anything
i would love to have a record shop, but im in brighton and its £1000s a month just for a little shop. i have to hunt for records, when they bring you records do you just pay them set price for each record each time?
Most of the time i will pay a price for the full collection good and bad the less bad the more i pay. I would say more often then not i go with £2 a record and that's a lot more than others sometimes i have to pay more if the customer wants more (but the collection is worth it) Sometimes i get stuff completely free. Having a shop is much more difficult than it seems everything has to be perfect in order for it to work (rent/bills/footfall)
It's not that easy mate, Madonna or the Pet Shop Boys legal team or record labels may have reported it, whatever you do don't put it back on they will shut you down. It happened to me some years back took Me 2 months to get get my account back.
Will copy and paste the information i have found because i cannot for the life of me find it myself. On Ebay it came up in big like a promotion so i followed the instructions and done it.

totally agree no one can know every vero and most people don't purposely try to list a vero item
unless you join the technsports group where for £35 a month you can find out all you need to know
most watchers are not interested in buying they are just interested in what it sells for,thats what i do and quiet a few i know do.
never understood this as the completed and sold listings will tell you everything you need to know

@@hermanthetosser4219 I have no idea! I think some of these people think they're protecting the person they're a fan of maybe? Lunatics.
It's the fanatics that pay the big money for Rarities as well tho so can't knock em
eBay is treating sellers as their ''employees''.. sick of their behavior..
