Oh no the sky is falling! I've been using this for months now and beyond the initial "where's my money?" confusion there's no difference or reason to complain. This is actually faster than manually transferring to my bank after it goes in PayPal anyways.

I had this happen a few months ago. Buyer paid for a record and before I shipped it said they found it cheaper and wanted to cancel. I said sure - I'll refund you minus the fees that I don't get back. They threw a fit and filed an item not received paypal claim so I just shipped the record, won the claim. They messaged me after they got it asking why I shipped it after they asked me to cancel the order. I told them because they filed a claim that they never received the item.

This is my biggest issue with the newer Ebay managed payments. I always liked the payments going to my Paypal, that acted as my own personal piggy bank, separate from the bank account shared with the Misses. Made it much easier to buy records like it was my damn job!

Why not just ask nicely if they can ship it in a box if you buy it? I don't understand the entitlement / attitude in the wording. Why is this so funny?

I preferred it going to PayPal so I could keep that money separate from the normal bank account money that’s used to buy garlic and pay the sewer bill.

By absolute sheer coincidence, 4 months after the initial shipping, the record turned up today! Although at the Merchnow office instead of my house but they have arranged a reshipping of the record. I really hope it'll make it this time, I'd be glad if i didn't have to pay 200+ for this 😅

Started using the managed payments in Jan this year and its totally fine, 1st sale using it is a little fiddly but after that smooth sailing. Also the new system without paypal taking their cut means you make even more from a sale if you have any listing deals (like $/£1 flat final value fee instead of the usual % cut).

Not sure anything tops a $47 House of Pain single LP.

Hey a quick detour from the hilarity of this business model (and hobby for that matter). I want this VMP edition quite badly, and want to do my best to *ensure* I get a copy. So to people with VMP experience.... Do I need to be signed up "BEFORE" they announce release it to have the best shot? OR... does it make sense to wait until its announced and 'start my membership' with the purchase of that record? I would hate to have like my slot already filled with some garbage I pick to start my membership right now, or vice versa be excluded from getting the Mars Volta LP because I am just signing up at the time of announcment. Thanks yall, appreciate your insight

I only sell 2 or 3 things a month but I've had no issues with this. Money always shows up in my account within a few days of shipping them. I sell on ebay more than discogs only because of Ebay's Global Shipping Program. It makes it so much easier for me (and unfortunately so much more expensive for the buyer) to ship overseas. I do miss having my Paypal balance that I used for purchases so that my wife had no idea what I was buying especially since prices for some things have gotten so out of hand this past year.

Got shipping notification from The Avalanches store for this last night, so that's neat.

it's okay this one is only 125.69 gram vinyl so it makes sense

I didn't know if I could wait for 3 or 4 seasons to finish. I'll still probably watch the anime too because I loved the animation choices they made.

Let the variants begin.

I've been selling on eBay for years and this wasn't a big deal to me. The setup was a kind of a pain but I've gotten used to not getting paid right away. I do much prefer selling on Discogs though since listing on eBay takes so much longer.

Hopefully my uDiscover or Recordstore or whoever, gets my standard here in the next day or 2. Happy to compare.

Quick but big thank you to @Your Ex-Wife@drewberinger & Derek (who I cant @ for some reason) Appreciate yall taking the time to explain VMP's various offerings and cut through their marketing nonsense. Got signed up and feeling quite stoked to get my hands on Deloused, (and also grabbed Demon Days too). Cheers!

There is an actual webrip out there. I got it this afternoon.

I hope it makes it to you this time!

You'll still need to buy something this month, but you can buy basically any older record of the month if you don't like what they have to offer right now. Once you're locked in on the record you bought this month your account should look like this (unless you chose a record that wasn't part of the "essentials" track, make sure you edit your track to this option if you didnt) So now it says you're on a autopay plan and will be charged July 1st for the next ROTM which is De-Loused. You can always play it loose and try to sign up for the next month later this month, but I think they'll make it difficult on purpose so you have to lock 3 months in. Two one month subs are $86 together so you're only spending $6 more anyways on 2 vs buying 3 months for $120. Edit: I signed up this month with something I can easily sell to get my money back as well. Tons of VMP stuff can get your whole value back if you don't want to be affected by the principle of signing up a month early for their bullshit.

Don't forget Ebay charges the 12.5% fee on the shipping you charge also. For someone like me in Canada where it costs $20 to ship a record that's another couple dollars in fees. They also charge a 0.4% fee for "international orders" when I ship to the US. AND they charge provincial and federal tax on the fee. I just checked my last sale of a record and it was 15.88% in fees.

Would please 90% of Avalanches fans since FP seems to be the only track people make a fuss about in regards to original samples vs. re-recorded ones.

If the WEB version is the same as what is on the vinyl, Frontier Psychiatrist IS the original version but none of the other samples people were hoping to be restored are restored.

On a recent Instagram post VMP said if you sign up for a 3 month sub now you are guaranteed De-Loused next month

If anyone got a fucked copy from Revolver and had interest in sending it back for a full refund, mine finally processed and went through, so there's hope for you. ❤️

Ebay's ditching Paypal has allowed people to make payments with Google Pay, Apple Pay and perhaps some others. More payment options than Paypal provided. Paypal is going more for the crypto market these days.

I really shouldn't buy more manga, I need to finish the Manga and LN's that I currently have. But I'm glad to know a box set is available if I decide to get Demon Slayer.

I think I’m gonna read it once I get this bad boy in 👀: https://www.rightstufanime.com/Demon-Slayer-Kimetsu-no-Yaiba-Manga-Box-Set

My cum splatter variant of PTC shipped from Revolver. So gross.

Went to her signing yesterday in Philly. Got my copy of the last album signed and my wife got her book signed. Unfortunately they were sold out of the new vinyl by the time it was our turn. She’s super nice though!

This is just too funny

it better come with FOUR pins this time or i'm not buyin

$899 retail

I can't wait for the color variant boxset to drop

Ortofon Concorde Pro S Cartridge, Technics SL 1210 MK2 Turntable, Yamaha A-S 501 Amplifier, Teufel Ultima 40 Speakers. I know my cartridge is a weak spot, gonna try to replace it with a better one since forever. But there are always new records to buy. 🤪

Joey Cape is up

This is a serious first world problem going on here. Peeeeez heeeelllllpppppp!!!!

Nice. Kaiji is really good so far. I picked up the complete series on blu-ray that Sentai just released. Crazy it never got an English dub. I’m also super excited for TigerLab to put out the OST. It’s fantastic.

Kaiji is on my watchlist. I still haven't started the newest season of My Hero. The shows I'm keeping up with are: To Your Eternity, Fruits Basket, Higehiro, I've Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years, Nagatoro, So I'm A Spider, and just binged what's available for 86. I still need to start watching Vivy though.

They never evolved much but im kind of glad. They’re always a good predictable listen. The new single sounds like it could fit on any album lol. also my youngest kids first show! We took our then one year old to a festival 8 years ago. They were the 1pm band. I have a soft spot for them.

LOL, this was his only original release, ETR-002 was the Juliana Theory EP, and everything after was a re-issue.

I really don't like how you now can't charge a set amount for shipping different records on Discogs. Some records I require insurance or signature required if it's a lot of money and you can't differentiate that for each listing. Now I just bundle in shipping with the price.

Yeah it take a bit to get used to, but way better IMO. No worrying about end of the month invoices, or even worse sorting out sales tax to 50 different states. All nice and easily handled by ebay, just takes a couple days for the money to clear into you bank account...which is how most banks already work anyway.

I guess those who are consistent sellers have known about this for a while. I haven't posted up anything for sale in maybe two years. So I'm late to the party. And will still bitch about it.

Utters came out purdy.

Lol it got disabled and then removed pretty quickly from the release history, but it doesn't remove it from viewing what it was.

Agreed. The whole thing screams of people who aren't used to getting what they want/their own way. Happy to finally own this. If I had missed out, i'd keep an eye on the second hand market until one appeared for a decent price or a trade.
