Re: [ST] What's with Ebay?
Personally, I've been buying and selling on eBay since 2002 with very
little dissatisfaction. Also, my previous company went through a phase
where we sold in excess of $200,000 in used computer parts in a year's
time with reasonable success. We had a few problem customers, but maybe
1% total.
I'll be an eBayer for a while, still maintaining my 100% feedback! :0)

I buy things off ebay a lot, and have always had a good experience. I
look carefully at what I bid on, and always pay right away (generally,
right when the auction closes as I'm watching to see if I win). But I
may have run into my first problem seller. I'm nearing the point of
submitting a claim, as after payment two thursdays ago, I have not
received the item (description stated 2-3 day USPS priority shipment,
coming from Ohio and I am in Maryland), and the seller has been
completely unrespinsive to multiple emails and voicemails simply asking
when he got the item in the mail and what the tracking info is. GRRRR.
I guess it was bound to happen as there are definitely scammers and
deadbeats, but it still sucks.

PS - this weekend I lost my key to my track bike, and had to figure out
on the spot how to bypass the ignition. Lots of cursing and a mangled
wiring later, I can now get anyone a 2000-2003 GSX-R 600/750/1000 -
color dependent on availability - lol.

Now you have aroused my curiosity. How many of the
rest of the people on this list feel the same way
about Ebay? I am not trying to start an arguement or a
thread, but as and eBay stockholder and someone who
makes a substantial portion of his income via eBay
sales, I am very curious in the consensus of opinions
here. Maybe its time to dump the stock and/or
diversify my selling forums....
Thanks all,
John
