Re: ShopTalk: The guy changed his write-up

[Scott Bershing]

I can pretty much guarantee that ebay will not take any responsibility for 
this, as they are only a service and have nothing to with the actual 
products that are being sold.  To compound it, what he is doing isn't 
breaking any of their rules.  I have a rating of 72, and the stuff I've 
bought and sold ranges from hunting to electronics to kids stuff to golf 
stuff.  This rating is for all transactions, both buying and 
selling.  People that use ebay don't assume that because he has a high ebay 
rating that the only thing he sells are shaft pullers.  They use the 
ratings to determine whether or not he is trustworthy and worth doing 
business with.  If he pays for stuff he bids on, and delivers products he 
sells in a timely fashion, that is really what it is meant for and is 
worthy of a positive rating.

Also, I've been keeping an eye on the pullers that he is selling, and I 
have seen probably every listing he has had over the last few months.  I 
never once had the impression that he was selling your puller, or that he 
was representing himself as you.  By comparing his puller to yours, he 
isn't doing anything different than the rest of us when we try to convince 
people that the custom clubs we build are just as good as any of the OEM 
clubs that are out there.

I can understand why you feel slighted, but I honestly can't see the 
problem with what this guy is doing.

I wrote the guy a nice informative post last night and received one back 
this morning from him.  So I just got finished looking at his sale item's 
on E-Bay and did that open my eyes, he not only was selling shaft pullers 
but you name it in golf he was selling it, head covers, golf clubs, grips, 
shafts, plus you name it in golf he was selling it.   But by just looking 
at all his satified customers you would think that he is only selling 
Shaft Pullers.   I'm going to try and get some "LIVE"Person to talk to me 
at E-Bay and see why they allow something like this to happen.   I mean I 
could be selling golf tees and getting all kinds and types of reviews then 
start to sell shaft pullers and am allowed to use the nice comments I had 
received from selling golf tees.  What gets me is that it looks like he 
has sold over 500 units of this item when in real life I think he has sold 
only around 6 to 12 units.  Plus I do not think that he has nuilt or for 
that matter even knows how to run any of the machines to do the work in 
making one, I think he runs a "STORE" front business like any other 
business and inflates what he sells, no Al. T. not anything like your live 
in love ballon.  Sorry Al T's wife but you most of all of us knows how he is.

Oh by the way if any body knows how I can speak , via the internet, to 
some live person at E-bay I sure would like to ask just what their policy 
is on dealers like this slime ball.   The reason I said via the internet 
is because I now can no longer can use the Phone, speakerphone Yes, but by 
the time I can reach the phone when it's ringing the party's hung up.  So 
goes life
