Part 2 of 2 guides on this subject - I have split because eBay only allows 10 photos per guide.

Please ensure you have read Part 1.....

Now for some examples of really good packing.

Firstly a purchase from a quality supplier on eBay premierpottery

Photo 1- A good size sturdy box, well taped with “Fragile” tape, you can see box got slightly wet on the day of delivery which was no problem.

Photo 2 - The box was filled with good quality polystyrene chips.

Photo 3 - The bubble wrapped figurine was found in the centre of the polystyrene chips.

Photo 4 - A perfect undamaged figure.

Secondly, a purchase from another quality supplier on eBay powertools.etc

Photo 1 - A good strong box.

Photo 2 - The box was stuffed with plenty of paper which was good enough to hold the figure in the centre of the box.

Photo 3 - The figure was well bubble wrapped; expanded polystyrene has been cut and used to hold the figure in the centre of the box. The seller had even constructed a polystyrene base for the figure to offer even more protection and support.

Photo 4 - A perfect undamaged piece.

I hope these examples have given you plenty ideas of good and bad packing.

An additional word of warning – I have seen some eBay sellers who say they will not take responsibility for the transit of their items. They will say things like, they will support the seller in a claim. Claiming on insurance doesn’t work like that – the seller has to make the claim. Do not buy from any seller that negates their responsibility for customer service.

Top Tips:-

1. Use a good sturdy large box and use plenty of quality filling, preferably polystyrene chips.

2. If using the older type of original Lladro box make sure the figure is secured using the cardboard and tape, then fill with tissue paper (or another suitable soft filler). Make sure the piece can’t move.

3. If you have no box make sure the figure is well wrapped in bubble wrap and that this is taped.

4. Ensure the original Lladro box or wrapped figure is in the in the centre of the bigger box. If possible use expanded polystyrene to hold it in the centre.

5. Test for any movement within the inner and outer boxes.

6. Only post the item if you feel 100% confident it will protect the figure.

7. Remember a small box (like a shoe box) is absolutely of no use. Small boxes will be thrown around, like passing a rugby ball – think of bigger boxes, they don’t tend to be thrown around so often and are more likely to be picked up and placed.

8. Make sure that there is insurance on transit of the item.

9. Don’t buy from any seller who says they will not take responsibility for the safe transit of an item or suggests that any claim will be for the buyer to pursue.

Danelectro N-10 Honeytone Guitar Amp

The vintage blackface fender vibro champ is a unique, lightweight gem. The vibrato is rich, and luscious sounding. These are low-watt treasures that are perfect for recording, keeping stage volumes manageable, and jamming or practicing around the house. They are ok on their own for very small gigs, and are very useful miked when a bigger sound is needed out front. The trend these days is to play low-watt amps that can be pushed a bit. Most venues can't accommodate the beastly loud amps that many guitarists used to think they needed, only to be told repeatedly: "Turn it DOWN!" Your soundman, bandmates and audience will thank you.

The circuit is fender's only Class-A circuit. All of their other combos are Class-AB. Class-A amps are prized for their single-ended tone. Mesa Boogie and many boutique manufacturers go to great lengths to make Class-A amps due to the rich sound produced. This is not to say Class-AB amps are inferior-not in the least. But the tone and responsiveness/feel are different.

Like most vintage fender amps, the tone is beautifully clean up to around vol 4-5. The tonal character of these amps is very rich, because of the circuit, and also because of the 8" speaker. Interestingly, the 8" speaker rolls off a bit of lows in such a way that the guitar sits in the mix perfectly without clashing with the other instruments. Replacing the speakers with modern upgrades can further increase their versatility at minimal cost. Jensen and Weber make very inexpensive 8" speakers.

When you increase the volume beyond 5 you get an additional beautiful grit that is very touch sensitive. When you crank these amps you realize why these were used in the studio by Clapton so often. This is a very expressive instrument.

Paypal refund not showing

I had an international buyer pay for an item before i was able to send an invoice. The buyer ended up not paying enough to cover the 1st Class International shipping so I emailed him and refunded his payment through paypal in the hopes that I would be able to send a new invoice. I have done this in the past and it works fine. I refunded the payment through Paypal (and Paypal is showing that the refund is complete) but now ebay is not letting me send a new invoice and is still showing that the item has been paid for. Marking the item as "payment not received" does not let me send an invoice either. Any idea what's going on or what i might be able to do?? Thanks in advance!

Fake Memory SDHC cards and other memory sticks

I ordered and received a fake Samsung 16gb memory stick which when formatted by Windows7 produced a card with 200mbs. This was most unnerving and I began to read that many memory cards are now faked with wrong information written in the mbr (master boot record). I found a way to fix the card which did have 16gb of good space on the card. Here's my fix which will take downloading two free programs on the net.

The first program needed HDDGuru's LLF (Low Level Format) tool. This program is available for download from softpedia and is free to use. The next program you need is MiniTool Partition Wizard. They have a website and free download. Now all you have to do is run a wipe and clean off of the old formatting of the card so it is pristine fresh. Next run a slow low level format of the card which should now give you a fresh card that sees all of the sectors available. This format process will take several hours so make sure your computer does not time out. When finished, just fire up the MiniTool Partition Wizard and create a new partition that allocated all of the available space. At that time, the software will assign a new drive letter and you name the card and all is repaired.

This should work on 8gb, 16gb & 32gb cards or memory sticks. Oh, and be sure when you format and set the partition to use Fat32. My Windows 7x64 now reads all of the space with no problems.

Unless you have IPR (instant payment required) option on your listing then buyers basically have 8 days to pay.

I don't think the buyer opts to make payment by eCheck and I'm not sure all buyers are even aware that their transaction will be made via eCheck at the time they bid/buy.

I believe PayPal uses the eCheck if the buyer doesn't have ample funds in their PayPal account at the time of purchase and has not backed up their account with a credit card.

So...not really sure you can enforce a "No eCheck" stipulation since PayPal determines when an eCheck is used.

Echecks are not always a bad thing. I've sold several items by eCheck and never had a problem
