The boardies here can be very passionate about the hobby and hold strong opinions that they will defend, but that's very different from being insulting. Not that insults don't occur, but I didn't see it in this case.

to me-- this is not about whining at all. It is about sharing experiences on eBay and up to the reader to decide if that warrants blocking or at least being wary of the specific buyer (or sometimes seller). If you take the list and just block anyone on it without doing any legwork, you will get out of it exactly what you put in it.

 

If this upsets you, you should probably not be reading this thread. If it bothers you because someone named your account as one to steer clear of-- state your case and let the people decide if it was a valid issue.

 

Personally-- I didn't have any issue with the low ball offer that Donmeca2020 made on the item that upset the seller enough to block them and give their reasons. It didn't violate any rules other than the sellers perceived slight.

 

But to be fair-- I had already blocked Donmeca2020 because I am not a fan of how he acts on the forum itself. He seems to believe that he can act like a jerk all the time and it not having any consequences. Then he trolls this thread for the rest of our lives further proving he is very much block worthy. Some people simply cannot understand how to act around others. When many people are telling you that you are acting inappropriately, the answer isn't to amp up the behavior under the guise of being defiant.

 

anyway-- for those of us who sell on eBay-- this thread is both interesting and informative.

 

No, i was added on here because someone from one of the cliques on this forum got upset about how i complained about a seller on ebay... furthermore who are you deem me a jerk and that i'm acting inappropriately? your just another schmuck on this forum....

'

im not trolling i still come on here, but as i said a month ago, i stopped coming on here frequently after one of the oh so "friendly" members on here started making harassing phone calls to my parents home.... thats real classy but to Mike over here that's not being a jerk, that's being an outstanding friendly and cool member,

 

If someone from here has really been calling your parents you should out them. That is

completely unacceptable behavior.

 

It did happen, when most of you were going back and fourth with the insults a few months back... i'll say as much as i do know who it is even though they tried to block their number... i'll say as much as he isn't from the united states... he lives in ontario..... i'll keep it at that.

 

Who insulted you?

 

And why "keep it at that"? If someone has wronged you, what benefit is it to you to "protect" them by keeping their name secret, but continuing to mention that it happened?

 

What will be the benefit if i put his name out on here? then i'm going to get 15 of you to start questioning me where's the proof, and scan the phone bills or and then i'll another group of you protecting him... i start seeing posts like "oh he's a good guy, and would never do it" . "your just trying to rile things up".. i reported it to a mod the day it happen, but like usual the mods never chime in or respond back in a timely manner. all i got was a warning that i was going to be banned because i upset the regulars on here.

 

This board is inhabited by a good amount of emotionally unstable people, but even those people know that calling people on the phone to harass them is crossing the line, and grounds for being banned themselves.

 

Yes, of course you would need to prove it if challenged, but that's not really that difficult to do, and it's a serious accusation. People have been banned for this sort of behavior before (see: CapFreak.)

 

If you DON'T have proof, however, then you don't have any business even mentioning it. If you just SUSPECT it, then you need to get your ducks in a row before making it public (which you should have done before even mentioning it.)

 

I mentioned it because some members on here continue on with their BS about me being a " bad person and or a troll... so that's why i put out as to what kind of people you have on here.

 

it happen after having that big 3 or 4 page dispute with half the members on herea few months backs.... as i said i have my thoughts on who it is, but once again that's why i didn't put his name out YET. because i knew there would be questions on how i can prove it, and quite frankly there isn't any records on paper stating when it and where it came from.

 

I just find it ironic right after i insulted a certain member on here right after he did the same to me ,that the same night that call was made to my parents house....

 

If you mean rjrjr, I don't think he was specifically speaking to you.

 

He even made a point earlier in the thread about that.

 

I can't speak for the Valiant thread post you mentioned, but he seemed genuinely surprised that you were insulted by him, offered up a :foryou: and didn't get back into the argument. These are usually good signs that he didn't mean it the way you took it.

 

The boardies here can be very passionate about the hobby and hold strong opinions that they will defend, but that's very different from being insulting. Not that insults don't occur, but I didn't see it in this case.

 

 

I wasn't even talking about him.... i know how to drop things and not continue on. As far as being passionate ??? Calling up someone's parents late night and saying obscenities, in a very fake sounding middle eastern voice is alot more then just passionate . I would consider that mentally unstable....

Received my first neutral feedback today - from a buyer named "katerocks2015".

 

Here's the feedback:

Sigs were in Silver (on white), not stated in selling details - I Expected black

 

And here's the item photo from the auction:

I know it's a neutral and not a negative, but given the reason she left a neutral was because of a color preference that was clearly shown in the listing itself, couldn't you talk to ebay to have this one removed?

here's what I've always wondered: Is it ok to offer 50% of asking price if the asking price is 2x the market rate?

 

howabout 10% the asking price if the asking is 10x the market rate?

 

What if the comic is $4 and someone offers $2?

 

My point is its far more subjective (to me at least) then 'they offered this percentage' of my ask price so I'm banning them. Maybe some of you guys could provide a little more context?

 

 

PS. Why not have auto-reject for offers below a certain price, unless you are HOPING for people to offer low JUST so you can feel insulted and block them? At least that's how I see it, but I know not everyone thinks the same as me.

To be fair, it *could* have appeared black on "her" monitor. That changes nothing, though. We are living in the Age of Entitlement, where 3 full generations of people have lived without knowing anything but having their every whim met and catered to, and absolutely mind-numbing absurdities like this....and worse...will continue at an ever accelerating pace.

 

Damaging someone's account because of the color of the signature, without even bothering to ask beforehand to confirm...? She outright states that she had expectations that she couldn't be bothered to confirm before buying.

 

And I have no doubt whatsoever that if this "katerocks" person is confronted, he/she will become defensive, thinking he/she did absolutely nothing wrong, despite a total, complete, and utter lack of class, patience, and understanding.

 

You can almost hear him/her stamping their feet.

 

This is only the beginning. Discipline your kids, folks. If you love them, discipline them. That's the only answer going forward.

 

I just received a return request for a CGC 9.8 book...the buyer didn't like the grade. Now, they were nice about it, and I hope they don't hammer my feedback, but their issue is with CGC, not me, but I'm the one who pays.

 

We need a plague, stat.

 

"katerocks2015" most enthusiastically blocked.

I basically have a lower limit on books I will list "OBO" - I don't entertain OBOs for books that are listed for under $4-5 and those that are OBO are set to auto-reject under about 2/3 asking price. That leaves room for honest bargaining and not having to deal with people who send unreasonable lowball offers.

Auto-reject is easy to set up for a few items...not so easy for hundreds or thousands of items. It can add up to many, many hours of time.

(Un)Fortunately having that big of an inventory is a "problem" I will never have to deal with.

Link please to the problems from a few months ago?

Almost all the pertinent conversation was scrubbed, including the inappropriate and/or offensive comments on both sides. As for the boardie Donmeca2020 doesn't name, he posted a pic of that boardie who was wearing a purple Hurley sweatshirt in the photo, and a volley of inappropriate posts followed. Quite memorable, but for all the wrong reasons. :P

Of course. It's not the percentage off that is the issue, it is the percentage off FMV, as has been stated several times already. You keep bringing this up, as if the concept of "FMV" has never entered the discussion.

 

"FMV" is the key to this entire discussion.

 

My point is its far more subjective (to me at least) then 'they offered this percentage' of my ask price so I'm banning them. Maybe some of you guys could provide a little more context?

 

I'll say it again: If Book X in X.X grade has sold for an average of $XXX multiple times in the very recent past, offering $XXX -70% or other such isn't cool.

 

It's related to this:

 

 

These people making these silly offers are wasting the time and resources of sellers, just like the example in this video.

 

Is it wrong to offer extreme lowball offers?

 

It's up to you to decide.

 

But, as consumers, don't we have an obligation not to waste the time and resources of others, when we have absolutely no intention whatsoever of paying a reasonable price for something?

 

Yes. Emphatically yes.

 

PS. Why not have auto-reject for offers below a certain price, unless you are HOPING for people to offer low JUST so you can feel insulted and block them? At least that's how I see it, but I know not everyone thinks the same as me.

 

Obviously, only the mentally unstable are "HOPING" for lowballs so they can feel insulted. Auto-reject takes time. If consumers, however, made it a point to make realistic, reasonable offers (those magic letters ---> "FMV"), then people's time wouldn't be wasted...as donmeca's seller was...with silly offers.

 

$150? For a $700 item? Why not offer $3.50? Why not offer a $.01? Does it matter? Sure, the line is fuzzy and blurry, and you can't say "well, $650 is reasonable, but $600 isn't" with any concrete assurance. But clearly, $150 is far past that line.

Auto-reject is easy to set up for a few items...not so easy for hundreds or thousands of items. It can add up to many, many hours of time.

(Un)Fortunately having that big of an inventory is a "problem" I will never have to deal with.

:cool:

 

But I think you can set it at the same time you're setting the price right? Assuming the price for each item you sell is different? It probably takes at most between 10 and 15 extra seconds (and yes I get that it adds up if you've got thousands of listings)?

 

I fully admit I'm not sure how the 'superstores' load up their postings, maybe there's a super efficient way of doing it that makes the 'auto-reject' add a lot more time to set up. BTW it would be nice if there was a tool where you could select all postings and set auto reject for all offers lower than xx% of prices on a bulk group of postings.

Yes i have a lot of my items with the auto reject function but serious buyers can think i am a difficult seller if they see my listings with a lot of offers that´s why the low ball offer buyers (non serious buyers) are bad for business and should be blocked
