I was able to pick up Pinback and Built to Spill.
I guess my record store was sent some of the green Built to Spill records that were meant for the Pacific Northwest so I got #275/5000 on green in Albuquerque, New Mexico! I was pretty excited about that.

As a seller, I always think about all associated fees when coming up with a price.  If it's PPD with someone on the board, then I'm thinking about that PayPal fee (as well as shipping, packaging, etc) before accepting the price.  It includes the fee, basically.
 
If it's Discogs or eBay or something, I work the associated fees into the amount I charge for shipping.
 
It doesn't matter how well regarded a user or seller is, shit happens.  I order a of shit from Brent at Broken Circles, and have had two packages disappear while crossing the boarder.  Brent is the awesomest dude ever, but it's the MAIL I don't trust
 
As a seller, I WANT the buyer to transact correctly and not use 'Gift'.  I've never had a dispute where I've gotten screwed, I line my ducks up.  Worst case scenario (which has happened a few times to me), mail disappears, claim is opened, PayPal refunds the buyer, I provide enough proof that I actually DID mail it and I'm in the clear.  One particular instance really sucked because it was for a super-rare CD which just vanished (or the buyer was jerking my chain), if I didn't have the correct documentation I would have been out $250+.
