Unfortunately, that 1% seems to keep growing.
Like late last year when that scammer showed up that went back through our sales history, copied old book links, and then pretended those books were his. Because they were underpriced, folks were jumping within minutes to post the TAKE IT before even checking why all the photos were taken on different backgrounds and lighting.
slickrickcomics - not that the name was a warning
Uhmmmm - anyone notice that book is owned by a board member?
I disagree...we have 80 zillion threads about bad eBay experiences and bad board experiences...why? Because when people get upset they complain. When people are happy, they smile, and they go on their merry way because they expected to be happy.
Check the Kudos thread, there are lots of nice things there.
I have said this again and again...you have to be prudent when you buy something. Do your homework, don't just grab a bargain.
Yes, there are bad actors, but a lot of the kvetching on these boards are repeats. The same issue being dragged up over and over again by the same people.
We need a little more cup half full thinking, rather than it's not only HALF empty, it tipped over last week and woe is me.
This x 1,000. If folks bought a little more carefully we'd have a lot less tsuris.
