Just Purchased Applause on eBay - Help, by jnschicago on Sept 10, 2008 18:08:42 GMT 1, Hi. I just purchased a mint condition Applause (unsigned) on the bay for 640 pounds. I feel good about the purchase price. Agree?
Also, I want to confirm prov. The buyer says he is the original buyer and is listed with POW. And, he says he has the till receipt.
Please advise. What steps should I take to confirm prov as much as possible?
Thanks.

I would advise that you retain his receipt as well as a copy of an email from him to you documenting its sale.
Nice print, enjoy it.

Imagine if Dora was bombarded with emails from everyone who was "interested" in bidding. Or, a face to face meeting was scheduled with every "interested" buyer.
All I'm doing is verifying the prov. Assuming it checks out, payment will be made promptly. To suggest that this is anything other than straightforward is silly.

Just Purchased Applause on eBay - Help, by nickodey on Sept 10, 2008 19:53:11 GMT 1, All questions regarding provenance and ownership should have been asked first. Only when you were 100% happy with with answers you got you should commit to buy. There is nothing more annoying than when you sell something and then buyer starts asking things they should have asked first. The new feedback system on ebay does not help in this situation! If you were were not happy with his feedback do not bid!!!!

Only done it by e-mail myself but its worth a try!

Just Purchased Applause on eBay - Help, by jnschicago on Sept 10, 2008 20:08:01 GMT 1, Why does this board have so many righteous people on it?
I just made a purchase on eBay. Everything looks good. I have every intention of paying the seller. I'm simply looking for tips from experienced buyers to ensure that I'm buying genuine art.
As I've already said, officially confirming prov (i.e. meeting at POW or emailing Dora) before making a bid is simply not practical for anyone involved. Dora would be receiving dozens of emails about the exact same piece of art. That's silly. But thanks for your 2 cents nickodey.

Just Purchased Applause on eBay - Help, by viperuk on Sept 10, 2008 20:08:14 GMT 1, I disputed a print through ebay when the seller failed to send through the receipt/prov etc and then went on holiday, I raised a dispute and the money was taken from the seller. They soon sent the requested details and by this time I had taken the print to pow to get checked out. When all was received I closed the dispute and all was good.

As a seller i would tell them to fuck right off unless they were to pay my expenses and for my time. As the original buyer of the print from source what more prov could they want?

If they are zero rated and it did turn out to be dodgy you will be covered to about ยฃ150 of the value of the print

If you use your credit card rather than bank account your cc company will reimburse you 100% in the case of fraud.
Re Dora I am still waiting for a reply re a print I emailed her during the auction and have subsequently received it with its original receipt!

You can pay using paypal, but have it charge your credit card rather than draw the cash from your bank account directly so the answer is lots! ;D
