whats wrong with ebay?

Sorry that you had trouble with a b***sh1ter.
Ebay is funny in that to leave a 'feedback', they only give you 80 characters to give a full account of the transaction, yet to send a general enquiry to a seller about an Item they allow you 900 characters! Shouldn't It be the other way around, surely? I had a dispute with a seller a few ago regarding a very limited cd who assured me It was the limited version, after I received It I knew It wasn't what I expected but Ebay were not the slightest bit Interested in helping, I think they told me to get a lawyer and try and pursue myself. Bit hard when the seller was In a different country. Had to bite the bullet on that one. Ebay sucks on occasions.

Yeah, I finally found out about the preferences to restrict a certain level(you can only stop bidders if they have negative feedback) or bidders from out of the country - I did a google search of this guy and found a 8 page thread on Canuck audio mart about the guy and some of his past exploits - I sent this link to ebay but didnt hear anything back - like usual - I was kind of proud of the perfect feedback and worked hard to make sure my transactions went smoothly - well, I guess nothing in this world is perfect

Some jerk ruined my perfect fedback.
It was his very first Ebay transaction!
I think it was a competitor signing on to burn my reputation.
EBAY did nothing. My sales tanked after that. THANKS EBAY!

A very experienced e-bay told me once that having a couple of negatives from jerks shows that you are not a pushover.

Wear it proud and move on.

I had only one bad experience and Paypal gave me my money back. I have bought furniture, albums,cameras, postcards/ephemera and even a 62 Mercedes sedan on Ebay. But, I have had much more enjoyable experiences here on Audiogon in the short time I discovered it and got addicted. Almost everything i bought here has been under described not over. I have got great advice and great gear from people who seem to give a d$#&. Thanks.
