First, I figured I would ask here first before going to a community or some such. Does anyone want to take over Penal-Tea.net? I realized I really just don't care anymore about Tenipuri. Even hearing that the Yuuta based character gets a lot of attention in the Taiwanese drama has not tempted me to download it. I'm just sort of... over Tenipuri. Penal-tea's domain is coming up for renewal in December and rather than just letting the domain name expire, if someone wants it I can look into transferring ownership and all those other good things to them since conceivably it is possible. You would not be expected to keep everything up as is, you can do whatever you wanted with it, I just hate to see the name get bought by one of those companies that just buys domain names.

In other news, rant #1 for the day. I admit, I'm selling a ton of doujinshi and I have a ton of other official merchandise to sell as well. But I'm so annoyed by the person who contacted me via eBay despite the fact I've not listed anything on eBay at all, refuses to handle the transaction off eBay's messaging system which goes against eBay's policies and could get *ME* into trouble. I mean WTH! They announce themselves as if I've previously sold to them before but I'm not one of the 8 feedbacks they have on eBay and I don't remember selling doujinshi to anyone in the UK. (France, Germany and the Netherlands, yes, the UK no.) Then they want me to translate the doujinshi and are asking what language they are in?!?! WTH. Also I don't think they seem to get this, if I'm listing things via LJ and I'm not asking a lot of money for them, then uhh no I'm not scanning inside pages or working on descriptions. I'm doing this like when you buy used in Japan, where all you can see is the cover since the book is in a bag. If they contact me one more time I am going to contact eBay since I am not about to risk my account being suspended. And I really prefer not to sell via eBay because as a seller I need to protect myself and don't want to have to jump through the hoops they've created in an attempt to "protect" buyers. In particular these protections REALLY hurt when it comes to selling Internationally. I try to be a good and reliable seller but this is just annoying and any money they may or not spend buying from me just does not seem worth it. ~.~

Heh, tell me 'bout it re: eBay.

If you under 100 in feedback on Ebay your screwed as a seller.

I guess you'd have to send it EMS insured. But probably more trouble than it's worth.

eBay just infuriates me so much. It was after reading some of the mishaps you've had and probs with insane buyers that has taught me I am much better off not selling via eBay. The potential profit does not outweigh the risks.

I just wish this person would stop messaging me via eBay since I don't like having to log into my eBay account or their crappy messaging system. ~.~

I have close to 200 feedbacks, but even with that since I'm a small seller it is easy to be screwed by eBay's new policies.

As these are at most like $50-$60 worth of merchandise or so, the buyer is going to refuse to pay EMS and of course since they are International are probably not confirmed either. I just see it as huge problems when if I sell via LJ I have a lot fewer risks. Sort of like I prefer to sell doll things on DoA rather than on eBay.

Yeah. Unfortunately I pretty much have to rely on eBay. =.\

Ya. =.\ It leaves a trail on eBay's system.
