How many people here have both a buying & selling id on ebay?

42 posts in this topic

I buy and sell, and just recently added a buying only ID for the sole purpose of leaving honest feedback on the extremely poorly graded comics I receive. It is probably silly but I do prize my 100% positive feedback, so I want to keep my seller ID spotless. On the other hand, I am just SO SICK of buying books that are poorly graded and/or with glaring defects such as coupons cut or detached centerfolds or water damage that was never mentioned. Most of the time these books come from sellers with spotless feedback and I suspect it is mostly because other dissatisfied buyers were not honest for fear of receiving retaliatory negative feedback. But no more...from now on I'm calling them out and don't care about retaliatory negs since I have a buying-only ID.

I'm not going to neg everybody who I buy a book from that may be a half-grade or grade overgraded...I'm going after the insufficiently_thoughtful_persons who "didn't notice" the two-inch spine split or detached centerfold or ripped out page. Who knows...maybe if everybody left truly honest feedback the "eBay grading system" might actually shift closer to the Overstreet grading system...so I'm going to do my part now without fear of reprisals...
