Ebay question

[Prowler573 5,000+ posts]

What?? woah here....I was just merely asking a simple question. I ain't mad or anything. And prowler, nobody's perfect. I wasn't being a tightass at all. My feedback sucks due to a couple of people that don't quite understand how to do business....read before you open your mouth....in this case, type what you just typed. And prowler, who here is being dishonest about what?? Perhaps your the one being too quick thinking you know me instantly already. Perhaps you need to lay off a little and do some more reading up on me and perhaps read my feedback a little more.

I did read, boomn. I read your feedback, the feedback of a few of your trading partners, the feedback you've left after various transactions, etc. I'm pretty thorough when researching pretty much anything eBay-related //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

As far as being dishonest I was making that commentary purely going by your opening post:

Let's say I posted an item to sell on Ebay and the listing just ended today. However, the final bid wasn't enough...and so I wanted a little more $$ out of the item. How do I go about doing this??? Just relist it again or what??

The only thing that can possibly be inferred by that information is that your listing didn't achieve a suitable final selling price and you are wondering about how to go about re-selling it rather than sell it to alex-inc at the shown winning bid amount. In case you're still missing the point here doing such a thing is dishonest. /story.So! Everything in my previous post stands. Here's a great example:

Never sent payment, He thinks you can delete feedback!! WATCH OUT

And your response posted 3 days later:

Seller refused to get PayPal...I tiold him it's free. Also a new Ebay user

Now, not being able to have a look at the listing that feedback trade resulted from I can only use the two bits of information available to me which is said feedback. From the looks of things you got angry because the seller didn't accept PayPal. SO what? There are heaps of sellers on eBay that choose not to accept PayPal for one reason or another. You think that is a legitimate reason not to pay for something you placed a winning bid on?

All of the available eBay information would lead someone (anyone) to believe that your trading practices in that particular venue are less than above-board.

Once again ~ my previous post, as posted, stands.

Thanks for pointing out the past for me Prowler....I could careless about that. The future is now. So the attacking on boomnblzr can end now please. As for being the dishonesty part, I was asking a question about it....I didn't say I was gonna relist it. I was merely asking about it. Is this how you make freinds too.....by looking up their past?? Oh and I'm sorry my feedback isn't perfect to your expectations. I've seen a lot worse feedback score than mine on ebay...trust me....oh wait n/m....what was I thinking.

I'll try this one more time. If you are so obtuse that you cannot get it after that then I'll simply have to write you off as a lost cause.

Your original post:

The way eBay is supposed to work:

Seller lists an item.

Bidder(s) bid on said item.

Item listing ends with or without a winning bid depending on the manner in which the item was listed.

IF said listing ends with a winning bid then:

Bidder pays for item

Seller ships paid for item to winning bidder.

/story

The fact that you even asked about it implies a willingness to enact a dishonest form of transacting business. That's not an opinion, boomn, that is pure and simple fact. If you cannot wrap your mind around that very simple fact then I do not know what else to tell you.

As far as how I make friends goes this has nothing to do with making friends. This has to do with eBay and as far as eBay is concerned then YES I do as much research into someone's past trades as well as their current ones as I possibly can. Upon researching yours it is very easy to find things that would throw up a huge red flag to some people (and going by the postings of other respondants to this thread I am by far not the sole CA.com member that holds this particular point of view ~ see Posts #12, #13, and #15 if you still don't get it)

And as far as this goes:

Oh and I'm sorry my feedback isn't perfect to your expectations. I've seen a lot worse feedback score than mine on ebay

My standards as far as eBay is concerned are pretty critical. I do not care if you do not like it. My manner of doing business there works for me. Obviously your way of doing business works for you. Have at it, fella! But you came here and publicly posted about how to go about doing something that violates the eBay UA. Do not expect to get glowing responses for your troubles. And you are absolutely correct. There are eBay users with worse feedback than yours. I wouldn't do business with them either.

Wow your cool. Since you see this another way and not the way I'm seeing it, I'll explain. To my knowledge, I didn't see anywhere on here or Ebay that I cannot ask about Ebay questions....such as the one I asked about and has YOU very attacking on me on my part. Does it make me dishonest?? No course not BUT...you took it another direction and fired away towards me as much as you can and I'm sure your not finished yet. In fact, I don't even know why you even give a shit about it let alone respond to it. Are you gonna send this to Ebay and try to get my *** into trouble or something....oh commander of the internet?? Is that your intention?? I have plenty of good feedback as well....I don't know if you saw that or not, but it has green dots....as well as a few red ones which you found RIGHT AWAY....god forbid you searched those first. I have to be a honest person Prowler...otherwise I would be in jail, prision, what have ya and I wouldn't be married and have two kids to support as well as holding down 2 f/t jobs. So....I ask ya one more time....please drop it. It ain't gettin anywhere and it ain't solving anything.

I remember when I won an auction for a 12xxx for $185 shipped..it was stolen the same night the auction ended(for so dam cheap) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bsflag.gif.21f42eccd34b7d1eb1608fb1b59b69c3.gif. Somehow it managed to be listed like a month later(somone emailed me about it after reading the feedback i left him //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif ). Twas pretty pissed to say the least. At least he didnt leave me a neg for the one i left him? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

Outstanding edit considering originally your reply contained nothing beyond the first three words of which one is wrong.

Why I could give a shit? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Idiot. You posted asking about the possibility of doing something underhanded. I'll use "the possibility" since you were merely inquiring about it...

No one, including myself, ever claimed you were not allowed to ask questions about eBay. I gave you an answer about eBay. Should you be so surprised after being a member here as long as you have that there would be some editorial content contained within a response to a posting in a thread in The Lounge? Furthermore take the majority of my original post:

(B) If you did not put a reserve price on the item then whatever the Final Item Value is once the auction is over is the price at which you are legally bound to sell the item. (In this case $26.99 + $15.00 stated shipping for a total of $41.99)
If you choose not to sell the item for that price to eBay user alex-inc then that bidder can file a Non Performing Seller report against you and you'll earn yourself a ding on your eBay account. Three such dings can result in an indefinite suspension.

All of the preceding is inarguable fact containing no bias one way or the other. Why would I respond? Uuhh, Hello?? McFly?? *knock, knock* This is a discussion board. That's what we do here.

See ravendarat's reply (Post # 5) wherein he says essentially the same thing. He didn't offer any opinion towards it such as I did but he is agreeing with what I said all the same (or technically, I with him)

I like this bit:

Are you gonna send this to Ebay and try to get my *** into trouble or something....oh commander of the internet?? Is that your intention??

Would you like me to?
I am aware that you have positive feedback comments left for you. Yes, I saw them. No, I did not research them as the positives are pretty self-explanatory. Usually they are indicative of someone having been pleased with their trasaction overall. Regardless of that 94% eBay feedback isn't anything to crow about in anyone's book, I'd wager. Your best bet is to find something else to brag about.

And lastly, this bit of pure comedy:

I have to be a honest person Prowler...otherwise I would be in jail, prision, what have ya and I wouldn't be married and have two kids to support as well as holding down 2 f/t jobs.

Yes, I see your point. I'm certain that everyone on the planet who is dishonest is in lockup, single, and unemployed (which kinda goes along with being in jail, I suppose)TheNoodPoopler is dishonest. jeremyzach is dishonest. KingOfThePrkingLot is dishonest. They're not in jail. Next?

Ok, fella. You win. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif I'll quit. I'm fairly certain you've made yourself look like enough of an *** to no longer require my services. Was I being an ***, too? Well, I don't mind admitting to the possibility. But I'm an *** who is right!

Have a nice day, guy. Good luck with your future eBaying.
