I've bought about 14 things and only had trouble with 1.
I bought a CD copy of Open Office 1.1, an " MS Word" emulation that is
free, but I didn't have the time to do a download. I went with this
guy because he promised quick shipping. It took about 2 1/2 weeks,
and arrived long after I downloaded it.
I complained and he said if I didn't give him good feedback he'd give
me bad feedback even though I had paid immediately. He pointed out
that it would lower my percertage of good far more than his, since he
sold hundreds or thousands of things.
What difference does it make if a buyer has gotten good or bad
feedback? They have to sell to the highest bidder, and they don't
have to ship until I pay. They are bound by the ebay rules for the
first part and have no risk for the second part, and I'm sure they
know it.
But I still wanted to keep my percentage good at 100%, so I decided to
settle for a copy of his other CD, which had lots of freeware and
shareware on it, that he said was useful for debugging. Probably was
but it was poorly organized, had no index pretty much, and almost all
had to be installed before it could be used.
He had lots of excuses. Claimed the wild fires in California had
interfered, (but also said he shipped only a day or 2 later because of
that. Both his cd's came with a printed note, the same one, that
something had gone wrong so the shipping was delayed. I'm sure
everyone gets that.

AIUI, the founder of ebay thought everyone would be honest, but by now
they have been forced to hire 100's of lawyers to handle complaints
(and that only relates to the problems aboven above the level that
non-lawyers can handle.)

And if one looks closely at the ad, the reason it's only $19.99 is
because - SURVEY SAYS - it's only a carcass. No battery! What a great
ebayer, folks.

Were you born stupid? You're asking an insane amount for an
incomplete, cheap tool and you're doing a _terrible_ job of shilling
your shit.
I've reported your retarded attempt to eBay - it's a clear violation of
the TOS.
Promoting your blog with the same tired technique is also retarded.
Either come up with something creative, or go away. Hint: go away.

this is a good, free tool to view negative, neutral, and withdrawn eBay
feedback for any user:

Yes, definitely buy it, but don't ask this sort of question in this group

I'll tell you what, next time you spam these NGs, you will get a buyer with
Zero feedback to buy your item. You will also get an instant Negative for
non-shipment.
Get my drift?

Heck, I had to leave you feedback about spamming. Don't spam anymore, or
I'll leave more negatives under a different name.
Are we clear?

LOL......Spammer, you found out what happens when you don't play by eBay
rules.
You can't spam, extort feedback, & you didn't send the previous buyer for
the saw, his item. You didn't get the money you wanted first time around,
so you put it up there for me to buy.
No Longer A Registered User.........LOL

If it retails for 59.99 and it's 18.99 on Ebay right now, I'd wait till it
went to 59.98 then bid on it.

Did you see the feedback on the seller? 77. I wouldn't buy a stick of gum
from him.

What a deal! Only $18.99 + $14.95 shipping = $33.94 for a cordless saw
without battery or charger
and without warranty from a person with a reputation of defaulting on nearly
20% of transactions.
Buy it. You deserve it!

It was kinda hard to miss... Three times within a week or ten days, same items
from the same seller every time... not too hard to figure out. Check the
feedback comments -- I wasn't the only one who cottoned on to that.

No. The seller has bad feedback and you will probably get ripped off.

pays enough attention to the group to notice the shilling..

Well, it wasn't me... but I think it's a clever idea. I notice that the
"buyer" has already left negative feedback, too: "Spams Newsgroups with items.
Wants positive feedback b/4 shipping. Idiot!"

I dont buy anything from Ebay. There are far too many crooks selling
garbage and by the time you pay the shipping you may as well go to a
store. Avoid Ebay. Problem solved......

eBay is a big yard sale in a rough neighborhood.
Never EVER buy from people with less than 98% positive feedback,
and a minimum of 50 transactions.

I've purchased many things on Ebay and never got stung. If the seller has a
good feedback score and has been on quite awhile, it's usually safe to buy.
I also pay by credit card just in case. Like everything else "Caveat Emptor"

The poster *is* the seller. "Cindi" aka James F. McGovern has been shilling
his/her auctions here, and at rec.woodworking, for a while now. This is at
least the third time he/she has been busted.
