After that, nothing for over a month until a couple of days ago. Now he's gone completely insane and has started accusing me of fraud, and claiming to live in the US when I obviously don't. This is all extremely amusing because at no point did I ever claim any of this! He's going to try and report me to Ebay AND Paypal. I don't really give a shit, I've got no negative feedback before and you're allowed 3 non-payment strikes before you're banned from Ebay, so whatever. This guy had 14 negatives in the last month.
So, this is the thread for your tales of dealing with idiots on Ebay (or other mailorder/auction sites)!

Dear Madam,Whatever you tried by returning the item, the lawsuit has started. against eBay and you.Our Attorneys will sue in Brussels, Belgium it will go all the way to European Court of Human Rights.It's the feedback who is the point of discussion.Not the product.We are constantly in communication with eBay Benelux, about this. And they reply.You, have used the eBay feedback , as YOU wished,WHEN YOU WISHED, and as a "Terror Weapon", and a Weapon to damage the reputation of a seller who was 100%, on top of his product and the shipping.I will "NOT" stop the lawsuit.America who went to war against terrorism, has created a new terror weapon in the form of the eBay feedback system. A Weapon used at random , by an American Citizen, in casu YOU.You may feel safe now, but the damages are coming your way.You can't repair the feedback. We can only drag the complete thing to Court, and that is what we WILL do.eBay is aware of the fact that you abused the feedback system.If "YOU" want to get out if this High Profile battle, you can always leave a SINCERE remark, that the feedback was a mistake, a misunderstanding.Your time is limited.In that case you are OUT of the lawsuit, and it is only between eBay and us.If you go to site map , you can leave a "follow up" to your remark under the feedback you left.I suggest for your sake, as time is running out, the following text:This negative feedback was a mistake from my part, I'm Sorry.It's better to overwin your ego, than goig the next years of your life through expensive lawsuits.The apology is 5 minutes of your time and is FREE of charge, and you make yourself UNTOUCHABLE in Court.And NO claim is possible against your person.Just go to Site Map on eBay's Home page and click on:Review feedback you have left about others Remember , BE CLEAR with what you say. It will save you lots of stress.This is good advice from a 53 year old/young person, who knows eBay in and out.Sinderely yours,Gilbert A. LambertRespresenting Lawyers-Experts3For legal matters

So like a year later I get an e-mail from this woman who tells me that she is the wife of the seller and she is sorting through his personal affairs. Turns out he was hit by a car, went into a coma, and she can't find the films. So she paypals me back the $60 odd dollars and apologized profusely. Poor guy. I hope he came out of it.

NO!!! There is none!! It's someone who doesn't want to start over from scratch and some people said really horrible stuff about them.

This is his last email to me (the pipe he is referring to is the crack pipe I told him to put down since he was convinced I was falsely claiming to reside in the US):
With respect to this pipe with which you seem so familiar, I'm afraid that 29 year old attorneys who went to Harvard undergrad, Cornell Law, finished top 5%, clerked for federal judges at both the district and appellate levels, and now is working at a top ten firm glabally, with 1300+ attorneys in over 30 offices throughout the globe, earning about $250,000.00 Depending on bonuses), and is dating a strinkingly beautiful attorney with whom I went to law school----well, I guess I'm saying that, unlike the filthy limey middle manager of the taco bell (just the The Office!! Ha, Ha, Ha!!)--that's you--I don't have the time or the need to deal with pipes.

anyhow, this negative feedback warfare you wisely decided to avoid, I've always wondered if you were real geeked out, couldn't one put in an Outlook reminder or mark one's calendar to neg someone the day before the 90 day feedback expiration point? as to avoid retaliatory feedback?

Bidder
Hello. I am a very avid SWL and I have been curious about that particular unit, as well as the super 909 sold by radiolabs.com.
Is it really that good? Is it really super sensitive? Could you do me a favor and turn it on at night and let me know how well it picks up in the 5 mhz range and going up?
I know I don't need that unit to listen to the underground political programming that I listen to, but I have been curious about this model but I cannot afford it. I just want to know how good it is.

Kevin, I'm really not that knowledgeable about sw radio, all I know is that it's a great appliance in fine working condition.
Well I can tell you that it is one of the coolest things I have discovered in all my life.
It actually beats cable TV if you ask me.
You can listen to broadcasts from overseas and worldwide for free as well as many stations from here at home that feature much in the way of underground political programming of all types.
If you aren't into shortwave you don't know what you are missing.
The mainstream media will mention the corporate and controlled satellite radio and hd radio but there is a concerted effort to hide the existance of shortwave from the public at large. okay man

I also got an album like that. I immediately complained and the seller immediately offered moneyback on return. I promptly sent it, they said they never had it. So I raised it as a 'dissatisfaction' with e-bay, and I did get my refund.
― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 29 January 2007 09:51 (nineteen years ago)
Just added a 7" to my watch list. Then noticed the seller is charging $57.40 to ship to the UK! Er, don't think so mate.

eBay sucks. The new page layout sucks, the fact that seller's can no longer leave negative feedback sucks, and the rising ebay fees suck. Fuck a eBay.

^^ roger otm. I DESPISE the new item page design with every fiber of my being.
However, here is the weird thing: On my work computer, listings still display in the "old" format. On my home computer, it's the new, despised, piece of crap design.
Anybody have any ideas why that would be? I don't see a setting anywhere where we can choose which design we prefer, so I can't account for the discrepancy.
I use Firefox in both locations.

I looked up one of John Zorn's Film Works collections on eBay, and you know how if you look at a listing that's been closed, eBay will try to match you with another that's active?
This is what they took me to.
(And for confirmation, if you click on "View original listing" on the upper right, you'll see it was indeed that John Zorn title.)
They're both from NYC and they're both Jewish...is that what the algorithm's looking at?
― birdistheword, Sunday, 2 June 2024 00:49 (two years ago)
Nothing so peculiar as far as I can see. It's just incorrect text contained in the so-called 'Item specifics', and also the 'Item description'. Both mention the Neil Diamond Greatest Hits album. I would guess the seller edited another listing to create the Zorn listing, but failed to remove or change the incorrect text.
