Sadly Ebay are back to exploiting their monopoly position and doing their utmost to kill off the 99p listing.
I'd advise all private sellers to check the recent Ebay small print very carefully. From May 13th, after the first few listings each month there is a new listing charge of 35p per item - so an album selling for 99p will now typically incur fees of 35p to list, 10p selling commission, 30-40p Ebay tax on your postage charge and about 35p in Paypal charges.
That means of your 99p the Ebay snouts in the trough will take £1.25 - even more if you mail abroad (up to a few months ago they were 'only' taking about 45p). Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
Don't list any items likely to sell for small amounts until you have a reasonable idea of what they are going to skin you for.
My own apologies to regular buyers, but I am now forced to list less and at a higher starting price - I won't be ripped off even more by this increasingly greedy auction host. It will just have to take me longer to clear my collection

ROLLING STONES - Sticky Fingers - UK LP with stuck zip A4/B3
These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding
Anyway, this listing is for my copy of The Stones' brilliant 1971 album
Rolling Stones
Sticky Fingers
UK Rolling Stones Records label
1971
Cat Number: COC 59100 dead wax matrix numbers A4 / B3
Mode: Stereo
The Album:
My original copy of this great album - bought in Exeter in 1971. I bought my records to play, not to preserve for posterity, so it has been played but pretty well looked after. At some stage, the zipper has seized up, and I have no intention of attacking it with WD40, though someone may wish to. A cracker from the Stones' golden age (which sort of coincided with Mick Taylor!) Bitch, Brown Sugar, Can't you hear me knockin, Wild Horses etc
Cover: Warhol-designed single unlaminated sleeve is in decent condition, except as mentioned the zip has stuck shut. It has some light edge wear and some light impressions on the rear where it would have been stacked on top of another zip during manufacture, but it's strong and intact with no tears stickers or writing. The flap above the belt is a bit creased as often happens. The spine is fine with fully legible text.
Labels: Yellow RS records labels are clean and bright with a number of visible spindle marks but no stickers or writing.
Vinyl: Vinyl has a few of the customary and expected paper scrapes and a couple of light surface hairlines but nothing nasty. It plays really well throughout with just an occasional light background crack.
Overall:
A very nice copy of this album - I'd guess it would professionally grade at (cover/vinyl) VG / VG+
Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. I just played a lot of this one, but if you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation. .
Postage: Reflecting new Royal Mail charges April 2014: Within UK, weight ranges usually allow up to three LPs to be posted for the same cost as one. For all other destinations costs are weight dependent, but incremental cost from additional LP's will normally cost less than the first. I am happy to hold records for a while if you wish to bid on more and combine shipment, but it helps if you can let me know particularly when bidding on items separated by a few days. Approximate prices for normal postage & packing -
UK £3.55 for up to 1kg (1,2 or 3 average weight LPs).
Europe £5.50 normal airmail, £10.50 signed-for. + £1.45 each additional,
Rest of world £7.80 normal airmail, £12.80 signed-for. + £2.70 each additional item
These amounts include actual Royal Mail cost for first class or air mail, plus 35p for cost of packaging material (a brand new custom mailer with stiffener). The greedy snouts in the trough at Ebay now charge sellers 10% of postage costs for which there can be no justification - I refuse to pass this shameful levy on to buyers, so you only pay post and packing.
Apologies, but owing to unreliability of some postal services, I will not ship to Italy, Russian Federation, & other former Soviet countries unless a signed for service is selected and paid for.
Losses: Royal Mail have reduced maximum compensation to £20 unless items are signed-for. Compensation on signed-for shipments is up to £50. Overseas purchasers - if your purchase is well over £20, a signed for service must be selected when paying or shipping will be at your own risk, not mine, and normal airmail will only be covered for up to £20.
Payment by Sterling cheque / money order, or via Paypal
I have decided to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix coming up over the next few months if you keep an eye on my other items now and in the future.
Thank you to all who have already given new homes to my precious vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to come.
