   Hi – I have a few logistical questions about selling/buying on Ebay.  I was looking at the selling method that Wyco Vintage uses to sell its t-shirts.  i noticed for the Butthole Surfers tshirt, you listed that it sold for $390.00 but if you go to the permalink page on Ebay it says it sold for $600. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&item=261055656710+#ht_7676wt_1026  
   Why is there a difference?The other question I have is, if you go to Wyco’s store all of the t-shirts are listed as Buy it Now, but if you browse through the feedback a majority of the shirts are sold at auction and not for Buy it Now.  Any ideas on this discrepency?  Thanks so much, just trying to understand.

   WyCo likely had a sale or accepted a best offer. The original price tag was $600 – for some reason the system doesn’t apply the sale price once the sale lapses. 

   WyCo runs auctions quite frequently – where the transaction always comes to a sale. BIN doesn’t and sometimes expire after 30 days – so you’ll see a ton of unsold BINs, a handful of sold BINs and completed auctions. 

   Head to our forum for more tips – there’s a section for selling on eBay.

   I want to make everyone aware of a trick played by our old friend Tomiaki Hotta. He’s the guy who buys vintage t-shirts off eBay, and then he refuses to pay for ‘tracked shipping’ so sellers are forced to either take a risk and ship without tracking, or they have to be out of pocket and pay for the tracked shipping service themselves. Or, they have to relist list the item again and most likely have to settle for a lower end-of-auction sale price. Anyway, for those of you who do not know, Hotta hopes you will ship to him without tracking, and then he will open a dispute against you, and you’ll be stuck in the SH*T coz Paypal and eBay will be on his side, he will be refunded AND he will get the item you have sent to him.

   Tomiaki Hotta used to use the eBay name coo123, but he is now using the ID: 2011lady1990 . My advise is to block him so you don’t have to deal with this nasty Japanese man.

   Earlier today I found Tomiaki Hotta’s blog which is popular in Japan. And I see there’s another little scam he’s up to.If you look at Hotta’s blog you will notice he steals photos off ebay and sticks them on his blog, and he writes SOLD next to the photo to give the Japanese customers the impression that HE had that item for sale and HE sold it for a high price. But it’s all lies. He’s trying to make himself look like an important vintage clothing dealer. But he’s full of S**T.
