Nothing that gives me a migraine goes unshared.... Ok, let's say I send you half the money in cash and half in travelers checks, what would the ramifications of that scenario be?

 

I want to send him an email, " Hi. I live in Kyrgyzstan, would you send me $2 so I can feed my family this year?

You really have to love this line: Photos of some accessories may be for illustrational purposes only. I guess that Acme Sourdough French Baquette is actually supposed to be Wonder bread???

 

And who can resist this? All claims are based on manufacturers specifications and product literature. We cannot be responsible for discrepancies arising from differences in performance based on manufacturer’s claims and actual product performance.

 

To parapharse: You can write some of the auction all of the time, and all of the auction some of the time, but you shouldn't write all of the auction all of the time because danged! It just don't make sense!

Could he make the auction even more harder to read?

PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE UNWILLING TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SALE.

 

Accept? Heck, I'm not even gonna read'em.

 

All that [!@#%^&^] for a $3-$4 comic!?

 

Edit:

What!?

 

C r a p is a forbidden word?

 

Over a thousand posts and the first time I get a word ...

[xrcst]

And hrmm...does a new paper quality grade need to be given to that book?

 

 

What was it?

 

Red?

Absolutely phenomenal - those terms and condtions have got to win an award for something - "Most anal seller" perhaps. All this and he's been neg'd several times as an NPB himself. Terms and conditions in my auctions are one line at the bottom of the page, and that's because the more stipulations, the more you'll put people off. And the comic looked roasted.

 

Interesting list of obscure (and PC free) Asian countries, though.

Good Grief! Who the heck wrote his copy,....Marcel Proust? Jeeeezzzz!

[goldust40]

Yep! You keep scrolling down and scrolling down, you think there couldn't possibly be anything else to add, and then what!!! There's more??? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

BTW... does the Buy It Now with immediate payment required bug anyone else? I can't really put my finger on it, but this new feature rubs me the wrong way. Makes me want to place a bid just to screw up their "immediate payment."

And there lies its purpose: to dissuade the thrill-seekers and reprobates from hitting the BIN and never paying.

 

Personally I like the feature, as it keeps some BINs available for longer when I buy, and ensures that pinhead kids with Zero Feedback (why do I need 10 to list, but 0 to buy?) from screwing up the works.

 

It also means that people who are just looking for trouble (hit the BIN, leave scathing feedback immediately) have to pay for the privilege.

Is this really that big of a problem? I wasn't aware that there are BIN "thrill seekers"

 

Frankly, ebay couldn't care less about thrill seekers or preventing unwarranted negative feedback. The true purpose of immediate payment required is to drive more people to use Paypal. It's bad enough that there are sellers that ONLY accept Paypal, now it's required for some BINs.

 

 

[OldSchoolTerry]

Oh Christ, are we bidding on a $3 comic, or purchasing a house with all that legal mumbo jumbo?

 

That being said, I guess that's an extreme example of playing CYA, which you can understand them doing, I suppose.....

 

But still,......

Of course it is, especially as EBay allows Goose Egg bidders to hit the BIN, and doesn't allow sellers to filter them out.

 

I don't think this has anything to do with Paypal, as there was an organized seller revolt against allowing Zero Feedback bidders to use a BIN (during the pre-release game cart fiascos). My feeling is because EBay likes to "keep its doors open to new bidders" this was a bone tossed out to make these sellers happy.
