  Re: Another ebay scammer
 
At 11pcs, and an opening price of 9.99, that's almost $1 a piece... even the eBay loony buyers balk at that for a starting price I guess! Though some parts lots regularly sell at more than that per piece by the end of the bidding. Kevin (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: Another ebay scammer
 
I am really curious as to why these over-ambitious capitalists are considered scam artists. None of these listings openly lie about the products, true they don't come out and advertise their competition, but they break no laws. These sellers are (...)

  Re: Another ebay scammer
 
(...) I think that there are serious flaws in the eBay feedback system, and that they leave us open to situation like this. Unfortunately, people seem to get a big head when they get a high rating. Does this mean that since I have a rating of 41, (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) I checked up on the whiner who mailed me outraged that I had left S@H's 800 number and a neutral comment for him.

(...) I just sent off a sarcastic e-mail to eBay, which said (summing up) "Do you actively encourage sellers who screw people to get more money, or do you just not care?" It'll be interesting to see what kind of response I get, if any. James (URL) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
