I may refuse to do business with people for a variety of reasons, and
the crazy thing is that some people have the nerve to say things like
"you're a business owner, you can't turn me away if I want to spend
money " and "if you price is too high and I make you what I think is
a fair offer, you're supposed to accept it" and a variety of other
reasons they want to give.
At conventions, I have raised a price for a buyer who offered me less
than I would take and continued to offer me less than I would take.
Priced at $50, you offered me $30, I said no, you offered me $30, I
said no, you cam back and offered me $30 and I said "the price is now
$55." he said "you're going in the wrong direction" and I said
"$60".. he finally got the message
another guy offered me $1 each for items I had priced at $5 each
after wasting about 20 minutes of my time searching through my boxes
for his wants. I put the stuff back in my boxes and told him to take
off. He came back with the show promoter, who after hearing my story,
told the guy that I don't have to sell him anything.
some people are just too stupid to be around other people
I refuse to do business with them.

business" with anyone he/she doesn't like.
If I was a seller, if you constantly berated me in public OR in
private - (and it doesn't matter which) - I would block
you. Wouldn't you do the same? Who wants the aggravation selling
to a person who doesn't like you anyway? -d.

just wondering , being blocked for disagreeing with a seller on a
topic on a forum , how would that be considered ? over the years
quite a bit of collectors have found themselves blocked in Bruce
his auctions for that reason , filip

Being blocked for not leaving feedback is ridiculous. Many people
don't leave feedback these days mostly because they don't see it as
a necessary part of the transaction or because they just forget.
After all, when you buy something from Heritage or from Bruce you
don't need to leave feedback (although I'm sure they both receive
many positive emails!).

Hallo MOPO
To slightly extend the Ebay conversation, what do people think of
the current changes to "Watching" re: (1) the trial of publicly
showing the numbers of Watchers on each item page and (2) the
constant removal/reinstatement of the row of "See What Other People
Are Watching" items at the bottom of each item page?
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.

Ah, those were the days. 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 you could put up the most worthless garbage and it
would surely sell, and maybe there would be a bidding war?
Remember when lots of eBay auctions would have "<mailto:L@@K>L@@K"
or "<mailto:W@W>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?
For those of you who were there at the start, what do you remember?
