Cougarrind has gone from a Titanium Power Seller to a Silver Power Seller.

That's a lot of gold! I wonder if someone from eBay has had a word with him?

He sure sells a lot of stuff though, hundreds of items every month. Hard to keep a scorcard on that kind of volume!!

say what you want about the guy, but i wish i had the stuff he's got

he's always been really cool with me - biz is biz in the end aint it?

Are we nearly there yet?

Well. . . it's not that hard. The power seller ranks are

Bronze $1000
Silver    $3000
Gold $10,000
Platinum $25,000
Titanium $150,000


Even if he sells 1,000 items a month they would have to average $10.00 each to be a gold! They would have to average $150 each to reach Titanium!!!!

It's easy to check how many are sold. . . just do a complete items for the last 30 days. . . .

The sales are averaged out over the last three months so if you sell $10,000 in one month you are a silver spower seller for 3 months. Unlikely he was ever a titanium power weller though!

well i gotta say from my own stance, i've always found cougar to be a top bloke when i have dealt with him. i dont really agree with ppl who sell and leave feedback AFTER others. thats not good form imo, but well each to their own - i just think its wrong.

i think there should be a clearer guideline in relation to the feedback thing.

after all - i am still waiting for a feedback off ralf *snigger* but at the end of the day, its no biggie really....you cant force ppl to do it.

i think if you dont leave feedback for someone who has left it for you, after a certain time, ie. a week or something, your feedback point thats been given should be deducted. i think that would solve the problem one way or the other without any moaning from anyone.

for instance, i had a guy there a few months ago who won 6 items from me. he left 1 feedback and deleted the other 5 and said he couldnt be bothered leaving the other 5. so what do you do? i left 6, he left 1.

sure i could be like cougar does, but all it will do is stop someone coming back to bid again imo....cos nobody really likes any form of harrassment.

well thats my pennies worth anyway

I do that, why bother with multiple feedback for the same seller/buyer? Only the first one is counted anyway. Either you have to sit there and think up six unique comments or post the same comment six times which looks kinda stupid IMO.

Of course I make an exception if the service is truly outstanding or poor and I cannot fit all of my thoughts in one comment.

i'm just an obsessive compulsive so i just like it all sorted

but in the end its no real biggie - i will deal with the guy again no doubt, so as long as i know how they do feedback then thats cool with me!
