Just a quick heads up for sellers. You may want to consider blocking the following buyer - ligerman01 . The book I shipped him was definitely in near mint when I shipped it. He is coming back and stating that this arrived in fair condition at best. Hmmmm. This was just one of those books I looked at before I shipped, you know, thumbed through it just to see what was in it. I know it was in near mint. He left neg feedback and then stated that he would be happy to work this out. Feels a tad bit like extortion.

Also, he is feedback is 0, but is percentage rating is 66.7 with one mutally withdrawn feedback. Appears that he had a run in with the seller, Intelligator. Might be someone from the Cougar school of buying.

Just a fair warning.

Let's git to killin'!!

This douche has left 4 feedbacks in last 8 days 3 of which have been negs.

I am so glad that Ebay has decided to go ahead and prevent sellers from leaving negative feedback for buyers. :roll:

Blocked. Nasty email sent through eBay system.

So, for those who have posted here saying they have no problem with these new eBay rules ... please tell me again why it's such a good thing for eBay to openly sanction this sort of extortion.

I'll be waiting ...

I just mailed out to this guy a new and un-used near perfect copy of the Silver Anniversary Holmes rulebook. Packaged securely. I'll let you know if I get any grief from the guy. :roll:

Blocked the idiot. It's going to be pretty funny now the next time he picks a ebay reseller...or the next few times...and keeps getting messages he can't bid. LOL

BTW Al put up some real goodies yesterday on the rpgmarketplace.com site if anyone wants to check....

Update -

Buyer came back to me today and asked why I had blocked him from bidding on my items. He inferred that I had somehow blocked him from bidding on other auctions. He was pretty cheesed off.

In my response I indicated that neg feedback is not a weapon and should not be used indiscriminantly. I also asked why after a negative buying experience he would buy from me again.

His response was a (imo) slimy, ass kissing. No answer to why he would buy from me a second time.

This was a good lesson that even if eBay is going to change policy, we, as a community, can sort of keep a lid on the difficult buyers.

He's a dumbass who can't wrap his hand around the fact that eBay sellers, like any other large group of like-minded people, have grapevines where they chat and compare notes and that sort of thing.

In addition to being a moron, his confusion probably lies in the email I sent him, where I said that I was blocking him, others were blocking him, and provided a link to this thread. He probably thinks one of us (Guido or me) has some sort of magical power to add him to other people's block lists or something like that. We're not dealing with a future brain surgeon here.

My worst buyer was an Italian bidder named bagatto0001. He asked me BEFORE one of my auctions what the price to ship to Italy would be. I told him $10 plus $4 per additional book (this was before flat rate envelopes could be sent to Italy). At the end of the auction, he won 3 books and then negged me for because he thought my shipping was too high! What a jackass.

Fortunately, most of my Italian buyers have been wonderful, patient, and a joy to deal with.
