G. Make sure that no more than 50% of the total feedback that you leave  is positive.  A minimum of 50% feedback must be negative and contain both lies and rude comments.  If at any point that the negative to positive feedback ratio is in danger of going beyond 50% positive either leave a neg anyway regardless of the transaction or just leave nothing at all.

H.  Ridicule and leave negative feedback for all of your buyers who get upset at the fact that you consistantly don't mail your auction items out for 3+ weeks after the auction ends.  Also, claim that anyone that leaves negative feedback for items that are eventually received no matter how long it takes or what condition that they arrive in should be kicked off of Ebay.

i.e eBay Feedback Profile for creep1962

Now you can have:

I. All of the above.  

So what's ETC/TGE trading as? Lets all go take a looksee.  
I'm sure he still lurks about these parts.  

Your opinion on a transaction:

Won an auction, paid promptly through paypal, waited three weeks and item never shows up. Email seller about the shipping statis of item and get the reply: Item was shipped shortly after I paid, I should have recieved it by now... The online usps site only shows some sort of electronic intent to ship, no confirmation of acceptance to the post office or able to track. The seller says that it will only show when delivered which it does not show as being delivered. Seller said if I wanted tracking I should have paid for it and basically they are not responsible for lost items ( although it does show that they purchased insurance).

So I open a paypal claim and seller issues a full refund within 24 hours, then they send me a reminder to pay?

In my experience, the USPS tracker system sometimes reads "notified to be ready to receive" (or something like that) until the day the item is delivered.  I have had it say that for as long as three weeks before an item actually appeared.

I always figure the wait time is part of the game.

Chaosium lost my order....acknowledged that I had, indeed, paid a month or so before....re-sent my order....asked me three weeks later if I had received it yet...no, I hadn't...and sent a third order.

They also tossed in a couple of T-shirts to say "sorry."   

All in good fun.

I'm sure there are those of you who could say the same for Tanga's Wop Shop and Tight Ass Games who seem to be real bandits. Maybe its an international thing. The Kings really try to f*ck over the Brits. Over here (in the UK) Cougie provides a first class service. I've traded hundreds of pounds with him.

Ian, I have no doubt that you dealt many times with him and every transaction went over without a hitch, Alan too.   That said though, I mean you have to admit his feedback tells pretty much a different story for a lot of people.  Right now he is sitting at 99.3% which isn't too bad, however when you take into consideration that he has another 50 mutual feedback withdrawls, it starts to paint a much different and darker picture.  If it wasn't for the mutual feedback withdrawls, his feeback percentage would be roughly 98.6%.  He has also been caught here on at least a couple of occasions of going to feedback boosters on Ebay(you know the ones where you "buy" a picture or "screen saver" for a penny and then both you and the seller exchange feedback over the transaction without even paying for it).

That in conjunction with the fact that its extremely apparent that he is a feedback bully(perhaps even Ebay worst), threatening people to get positive feedback where he doesn't deserve it(or leave no feedback at all where a negative is deserved for fear of retaliation), the fact that he is extremely deceptive in his auction listings (including never listing any real details of an items condition, never listing any type of shipping costs, and frequently even trying decieve people into thinking an item is something that it is really not), all those missing M-bags in the past(which have now miraculously decided to stop happening after people here started picking up on it. I wonder why that is, did the postal service all of a sudden get like a whole lot better or something?), and it is also well noted from several people that he sells illegal photocopies privately through email. Looking at all that, it starts to paint a much darker picture.  

I mean looking at it from a neutral perspective, one has to really admit that something is very, very wrong there.  TBH, the Coug has never screwed me personally, ever.  That being said though, simply taking a neutral look at the whole situation and his practices, it starts to become very obvious that he is not someone that I would suggest anyone deal with. I say that becuase if you do deal with him there is a solid possibility that if you do, you are going to get screwed in some way.  I would also like to point out that Coug has also screwed over several UK buyers & sellers(just look at his feedback) including at least one member here, David.  This thing with the Coug isn't about where he lives. Its about what he does and how often he does it.  I am not saying that he is as bad as jonb, and I am not even telling you not to deal with him, thats your choice, perhaps he won't screw you over.  I really hope that he doesn't.  That however doesn't change the fact that he has shafted many, many others and as long as uniformed people continue to buy from him, itis going to continue to happen.

I can speak from experience, if a seller has seller manager pro and they refund an item it will immediatly send an auto-generated request for payment.  It's kind of a dumb bug and has caused some confusion the the past for me.   I wouldn't hold that part of the transaction against the seller.

** expired/removed eBay auction **


  Anyone ever heard of or dealt with this guy?

  The auction says $2.50 "shipping and handling."

  The invoice has $1 extra attached for "materials."

  It's only a buck, but I would not have bid if the item had been $1 more.  

  If it's "pay a buck or get a neg" I'll pay a buck to avoid the negative.  Still, the petty extortion irks me.  I guess I'm a petty fellow.

Oh wait, he didn't.  Nice feedback too.  I really like his auction descriptions:
