OP, as hard as it is to do and as well-intentioned as we strangers on the internet can be, please take all the experiences and second-hand stories you hear from us with a grain of salt.
 
When in doubt, always call eBay/PayPal/whatever company and ask them your questions directly.  Press 0 on your keypad until you get on the phone with a person who speaks your language and is able to listen to your concerns, and then explain your situation, describe what outcome or risk you are trying to avoid, and ask them for their advice.  If what they say sounds odd to you or they aren't quite getting your situation, politely ask them to transfer you to a different associate or a supervisor.
 
If you (or anyone reading this who finds themselves in a similar situation) are having trouble articulating the situation, what your ideal resolution would be, or what outcome you are trying to avoid in a clear, calm manner, then maybe you are still getting a grasp of the situation yourself or your ideal resolution is not as simple or impartial as you think.
 
More times than not, if you do that calmly and you are armed with the simple, clear truth on your side, you will discover that you are covered and will be protected.  The rumors about eBay/PayPal forcing you to give a refund without receiving the record back are overblown and often leave out important details.  For example, eBay does occasionally let buyers keep the item and also get their money back but the returned money is out of eBay's pocket, NOT the seller's.  It's called a courtesy return and eBay usually only does these courtesy returns for long-time users in good standing.  It's a courtesy to both the buyer and seller to resolve a situation and leave you both satisfied.  Other times, a seller can get the raw end of a deal because they did not communicate during the arbitration process and let an eBay rep auto-close the case for the buyer or they resorted to name-calling or another non-helpful action and, again, made it easy for the eBay rep to close the case for the buyer.  There is also the opportunity for an eBay or PayPal rep to make an incorrect decision that goes against their own policy or instructions or to be misled by false information from the buyer, and you will still have the opportunity to rectify that if, again, you are calm and armed with simple, clear facts.
 
All this is said with the goal of encouraging you (and others) to use your agency and use the tools available to you, instead of taking second-hand info and deciding that you're screwed and there's nothing you can do.  If eBay is giving you a little extra cash for gas and dates and fun stuff, keep doing it and use this as an opportunity to become a smarter seller.  Don't stop because you read nightmare stories on the eBay forums or Google. People out there want the vinyl you are selling! 

Alright last one for now haha. This is addicting! 

Made the actual vinyl from scratch this time, I think it turned out pretty good. 
 

Alright I decided to attempt it myself. I'm really bad at Photoshop, but regardless a 2xLP needs to happen someday. I was gonna do Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 but couldn't find the cover without the E for everyone logo or the playstation logo.
 

Finally got a Squier Bass VI! These things are incredible.
 
edit: I have no idea what happened to the picture quality on this one. I'll post a better picture later.

This album gets better and better

Vessel was $17 at my local record store, though...so I don't get it.

I love apple products....but I think this is the most superfluous and gimmicky gadget to come out in ages. I STILL think iPads and Tablets are ridiculous as well...they seem to have little use or value outside of keeping children occupied during long car/plane rides

Really digging this one, kinda different sound for them but I like it a lot more than Fairly Local on the first few listens

It's for a column about women who resell records at a profit.
 
It's called "Bitches be Flippin'."

There will be a Hot Topic exclusive color of vinyl for this. Not sure of the color yet.
Got to hear a few tracks off this album and it's really good

Been wanting a 335 for awhile, but Gibsons are far too much cash. Had a ccheap but nice copy by Agile. Found out about Heritage Guitar Co. Old Gibson employees in the old Gibson Kzoo factory in Michigan on the old equipment! Sold a few guitars to buy this was $2k

And I did get it! This thing is amazing!

You had a car in middle school?

Gah that sucks..it sounds better in my car headed to my middle school anyway..

I'm assuming this isn't you.

They won't.
You wait for it to arrive? What else would you do?

I don't want to make a thread for this because it hasn't happened yet, so I feel like it fits here:
 
I-Empire vinyl has been confirmed!
 
 

When are they going to give up on this "fan club" only thing?  Even for a band full of cheese, it seems overly cheesy. 

I got you covered:
 

This. I mean, come on, they've never had groundbreaking lyrics:
"Stupid games are for stupid people."
