Ebay is not the only one in the world insanely greedy. All one has to
do is go to ebay, search movie posters and sort by highest price first.
You will get page after page of insaane prices. These prices do not

Personally I think those insane prices make the hobby look like a complete
joke. The same thing happens when a poster sells for a huge price, and
then can't find a bidder at a third of that price.

eBays latest brainstorm/innovation/enhancement is that on Sept 1st they will
be using a formula for advising bidders when they should receive their
purchases. This is another invitation for buyers to give low ratings or
negative feedback. It may possibly be OK for people who sell on the US site
I just bought four pillow shams for my 11 year old daughter's birthday party
from an eBay seller on the 11th, and asked them to send them right out via
First Class Mail, so they would surely be there for the party on the 20th.
They sent them delivery confirmation on the 12th, which is all I could
That is exactly what stinks about eBay's feedback system. It is
stacked against the seller, and eBay MASSIVELY profits from it when
buyers leave undeserved negatives.
Bruce, it is just one more reason that fleaBay sucks and thee do
indeed profit when a dealer gets bad ratings because they

When the auction has bids people may look at bid history. But even that isn't
