[e-gold-list] Re: Auctions
With all this auction talk, I figure its time I got in on it too. GoldBarter is missing a couple fairly important components (feedback/ trust ratings, mainly), but looks like a pretty good site. Anyway, I'm starting out with auctions for parts of my baseball card collection. First one is at: http://www.goldbarter.com/viewauction.jsp?id=64 Matthew Schlegel Founder Gold Builders International http://www.goldbuilders.com Dear Matthew, GoldBarter.com does have a system to rate sellers and bidders. Our system is called Honor Remarks, appropriately enough. You can only leave Honor Remarks at the completion of an auction and only on the auction you are involved in. However, I agree that it might be hard to find this feature, as it is not well documented on the site. We're working to remedy that, and add new features and improvements to the GoldBarter.com auction system.

[e-gold-list] slash (dot!)
Escape also appears in every hyperlink as a slash (/), a programming command that allows Web users to move from computer system to computer system, or from page to page, in a website simply by clicking on a hyperlink. Escape is associated with backslash ( \ ) slash ( / ) has utterly, nothing, at all, whatsoever to do with escape. Slash is just like a hyphen or a colon. The slashes used in URLs have utterly nothing, whatsoever, even vaguely, to do with escape sequences. Typical hopelessly, utterly, wildly, bizarrely inaccurate writing by Wired. Bemer said... It's sad. Technology develops through decades of work by many people. That's why I put my work into the public domain whenever possible.

[e-gold-list] Re: charge back problem
Apologies if this has already been answered, as I get a daily digest I may be a few messages behind. There is no way for a merchant to avoid chargebacks if a sale is done over the internet. The credit card companies simply don't work that way. The only way for a merchant to have protection (as when a physically stolen card is used in a real world store) is by having the supposed customer's signature and a swipe impression of the card. All a credit card customer needs to do is dispute a charge, and it will be reversed. As there is no real way of disputing it (short of somehow getting the card holder to own-up to the charges) there is no way for the merchant to reverse the claims. If you can find some way around this there are literally tens of thousands of merchants who have been burned through online and telephone sales and would like details.

[e-gold-list] amazon, huge electronics section
i noticed on amazon that they now have a truly, truly stupendously large Electronics collection. They say seven times larger than your typical electronics superstore They seem to be focussing on the field. I literally couldn't find any little obscure piece of hifi or what have you that they don't have. (Preivously I found their selection to be somewhat limited to hit items from each supplier. You know, like they'd sell imacs but nothing else from Apple, etc. Now I can hardly find something they don't stock.) Enjoy, you can buy it ALL, spending your goldgrams or e-gold or 1mdcgrams DIRECTLY, at bananagold.com Why would you screw around with national currencies? Enjoy, JP!

[e-gold-list] Honor Remarks
Dear Friends, I would like some feed back on the Honor Remarks concept as we are implementing it over at GoldBarter.com, and as y'all may wish to see it implemented there. You may have information about individuals you have worked with before which you would like to include in Honor Remarks comments. However, presently, the system only allows you to leave Honor Remarks at the completion of an auction, and only on the auction you are involved in. So, if you refuse to be involved in an auction by someone you feel is tawdry, untrustworthy, reprehensible, or generally bad, you are not in a position to add anything to the market's info on this person, unless you bid on one of their items just out of spite (and what if yours is the winning bid?!) in order to make a negative remark. The same is true of people about whom you have good things to say, but whose items are not of interest to you, or are too expensive for you to bid upon. So, I wonder if y'all would like to be able to view remarks by people who have not participated in an auction? Should just anyone be able to come to the site and add remarks about anyone? As we know, a very successful exchange provider made for himself an excellent reputation over at eBay, and used the reputation he created to help him generate business for his exchange service. So, this feedback system, as Matthew pointed out, is a significant part of GoldBarter.com. It is important to us to get it right.

[e-gold-list] re: New exchange provider
Dear Friends, I don't know if Ken Griffith has his ears on right now, so I'm offering my feedback. Earlier this week, I received a message from Ken Griffith [EMAIL PROTECTED] which causes me to suppose that there is a relationship between Ken and this new exchange vendor. I hope that Ken doesn't mind this disclosure, and would be pleased if he sheds any further light on this situation.

[e-gold-list] credit card chargebacks
Dear Ben, There is no way for a merchant to avoid chargebacks if a sale is done over the internet. There is no way to avoid all chargebacks, certainly. That is true, however, whether the sale is done via Internet or at a storefront. The credit card companies simply don't work that way. Correct. Credit card merchant accounts are a pretty poor deal for the merchants. They pay 5% (more with Amex) and a per item fee, plus a monthly fee, plus equipment rental or software licenses, and any charges that are reversed get sucked straight out of the merchant's bank account, no matter how much damage that does to his business. It can lead to utter disaster. So, why do merchants do it? Quite simple: customers demand it. There is a huge amount of money available to merchants who provide credit card services for the convenience of their customers. The only way for a merchant to have protection (as when a physically stolen card is used in a real world store) is by having the supposed customer's signature and a swipe impression of the card. Neither of these things protects against a stolen card. All charges against a card that is reported stolen can be reversed. The merchant is screwed, unless he is paying too much for insurance, in which case he has already been screwed by the insurance vendor, and is a little less screwed by the stolen credit card charges being reversed. All a credit card customer needs to do is dispute a charge, and it will be reversed. Largely true. That's true in the storefront world as well as on the Internet. However, it is much harder to dispute some charges. Try disputing charges with a major corporation when you are just an individual, and you'll find that there is an entirely different standard at play. As there is no real way of disputing it (short of somehow getting the card holder to own-up to the charges) there is no way for the merchant to reverse the claims. There is no certainty that any appeal will be answered. A merchant can appeal any reversed charge, but it is a headache and three kinds of hassle, and usually fails. If you can find some way around this there are literally tens of thousands of merchants who have been burned through online and telephone sales and would like details. Yes. There are, of course, ways to limit the risk to the merchant. If you go to PlanetGold, I think you can find there an interview with Graham Kelly from some months ago. In that interview, Graham mentions a $20,000 credit card order for, I seem to recall, evocash. So, Graham sent a private investigator around to verify the card holder really placed that order. Or perhaps called the cardholder. In any event, Graham sees a trivial percentage of chargebacks, and he does accept credit card orders sometimes from some individuals according to the interview.

[e-gold-list] timing of chargebacks
Dear Mosboris, Is there any reasonable way (exept accepting e-currencies ) Accepting gold backed currencies such as GoldMoney or e-gold is a good way to do business. to fight with bad customers who bought your online product using credit card and ask money back through their bank? Yes. Several ways. First, when they ask to purchase with a credit card, get their address and phone number. Call them up to verify that they are making the purchase. By itself, that event helps your case. May be there is some rules like for a example customer can ask charge back not later then within 7 days after purchasing or you can expect charge back from any customer any time? You can impose that rule, but it won't do you much good. You can expect chargebacks at any time. Even if you make the customer click an accept button that says that they have only seven days to refuse the charge on their credit card, the credit card companies may not accept that action as signifying anything. If, on the other hand, you don't provide the customer with anything of value until a period of weeks has passed, and you make the credit card customer aware of this fact up front, you may get some advantage over those who would claim their card was stolen. If they use the card during the intervening time for something else, and don't want that charge reversed, then they can't very well claim a stolen card. But, the value of credit card purchases for online stuff is instant gratification. You are going to have to have something pretty clever in order to get people to wait very long for it.
