That's about average for dvds/blurays in Japan.

surley these things are bought new for 30-50??

nearly ?800 for a blu ray? I seriously despair with the human race

Their DVDs/BRs must be manufactured by elves or something.

Here you could get the entire Lost boxset on BR for around ?100 when it came out, six seasons, over 100 episodes. When I went to Japan they were flogging single drama series boxsets for the same price. That's ten episodes, and maybe a special if you're lucky. It was madness. I wanted to buy Densha Otoko and it was something like ?120. Even on Yahoo auctions the cheapest I found was ?45 unboxed. And this was back in 2007 when it was around 220Y/?

Someone just bought an item from me as a buy it now, but they have 0 feedback. Is there anything I can do to ensure that I don't get burned by ebay's amazing system (other than sending recorded)?

[speedlolita]

You can set your account to not accept bids from users with 0 feedback in future, I believe.

[koopatroopa90]

Best you can do is block bidders with -1 I think, which is stupid as that just means one of their sales went bad which isn't a problem if they are buying...

[noobish hat]

Um, I don't think you can, you can only set it to block people with negative 2 or some bullcrap. I forgot to do it this time anyhow.

EDIT: I was trying to post this about 8 hours ago, apparently the servers were busy or something.

[Mayhem]

Yeah, the eBay seller options are for setting on negative feedback, not zero sadly.

didnt we all start on zero feedback?

[noobish hat]

We did, but when I started, ebay was a very different place.

[randombs]

I've had no problems with zero-feedback users but I never sell anything particularly valuable on there, usually ?10-20 stuff.

What are peoples thoughts on the new redesign and interface on ebay? seems every time they try to 'improve' things it gets harder and harder for me to find what I'm looking for. Case in point, I'm looking at laptops and now they've removed the auction and buy it now buttons, so I have to look at every single listing to find what I'm after.

Strange, I just tried and the layout seems pretty much identical to before, other than the ebay font change. I still have the same search options(incl. auction/bin). Are you on the site or using an app? Also, are you signed in? I find more options when I'm signed in...

That is odd. Used ccleaner, went back and it seems to have gone back to normal now. It's been like that for the past two days for me so I assumed it was a redesign.
