Re: [MOPO] Ebay Hidden Feedback

[JRS MoviePosterBid.com]

Steve,   I'm sending this to the list to let everyone know what I've found out about this. What I was talking about was not a single "hidden" comment -- I was talking about this new option on eBay where a person can opt to have ALL of his feedback comments hidden. When you see his bid, you see his ID name like usual, but in the parens next to it where you would normally see a feedback number, instead you see (private). When you click on (private) you are taken to a normal feedback page, but all you can see are the raw score numbers, not any of the comments.   I have discovered that this option is now being used by those who purchase a lot of XXX material on eBay. And, yeah, I guess I can see where it would be a bit embarrassing to have it visible for everyone to see what you have been buying. I was told that there was a recent divorce case where the wife had her lawyer document all the kinky purchases her husband had been making on eBay, by following back the feedback comments, and then used that information against him in court, accusing him of being a "sex addict". Apparently the guy was ordered to go through involuntary therapy as a result.   The person who bid on my own auction turns out of have been a solid buyer on eBay for 5 years and has 100% perfect positives, so I decided "what the heck" and told him I would accept his bid after all -- but now he's so pissed at me for canceling his first bid that he probably won't take me up on it.   What a world...   -- JR Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
