If someone blocked you because you forgot to leave feedback, that person is an idiot! FRANC

The "See What Other People Are Watching" panel has been very useful to me in the past! My other current bugbear is that I have been blocked by at least one seller for forgetting to leave positive feedback! I just didn't get round to it, but feel that being blocked was a bit of a harsh solution. Other than that, the transaction at both ends had gone smoothly without incident.

I remember seeing a La Doce Vita Italian poster on eBay back in the early years. I watched it for a few days and there was one high bidder. I waited until a couple of hours before the auction ended and outbid him and won the lot for a low price. The underbidder sent some crazy, abusive emails to me saying he was shocked that I waited until the last hour before placing a bid. He said he would leave negative feedback for me (you could do that in those days). I tried to explain to him that this was how an auction works. If you dont bid enough then you will lose. He came back with even more abuse and said he would not only leave negative feedback but "report me to the authorities" (whoever they were).

Remember when lots of eBay auctions would have "L@@K" or "W@W" at the end of the title? Remember when there was just ONE movie poster category and you could look over every single item every day? Remember when any image of a barechested male would have "GAY INTEREST" in the auction title? Remember when you could leave feedback for any seller, even if you hadn't bought anything from them?
