I would be stupid to send a product across the world to someone I don't know and leave positive feedback on faith alone that I wasn't going to be screwed.If you have faith in the honest and integrity of the buyer, that's a different matter. I'll leave feedback first on trust and with the experience that the buyer is honest and descent.But if I don't know the buyer, I'm not going to assume that they are honest and descent and put my reputation and money behind that. The majority of people on eBay are illiterate and ignorant assholes. I try to filter them out by only stocking items that only appeal to those people who have the interest and intelligence to collect FRPs and broaden their horisons beyont the obvious, but they still get through.Until eBay introduces a basic IQ test and introduces a policy of not supporting eBay fraud, I will withhold feedback and restrict bidding to 'confirmed ' PayPal addresses, as they are my only defence all the online scum.I admit that buyers who are honest and trustworthy, and very descent people, sometimes feel like they are entitles to have feedback first, but they are not the ones trying to do business on eBay, and they don't have thousands of dollars tied up in an online business. If they resent the fact that they feel like they have to earn someone's trust, then that's an ego problem. Trust has to be earned in all walks of life. You are not entitled to it.Anyone who complains about the inequity of this is only demonstrating their ignorance of how loaded eBay and PayPal are towards the anonymous buyer. And that level of ignorance is not a good sign.

That would be WAY out of order. And to be honest, if someone gets pissed off over the order in which feedback is left, that is really quite sad.

That February we had one hell of a blizzard followed by an ice storm the next day that caused our entire town to lose power due to trees branches collapsing under the weight of the ice and falling on the power lines. They cancelled school and pretty much everything else for three days straight.Since we couldnt watch tv, listen to radio, or play video games and it was too damn cold (-30 wind chill) to do anything outside for any lengthy period of time, my best friend and I trudged through the ice and snow two miles to another friend's house (who happened to be our DM) with a small backpack loaded down with rulebooks and snacks. The three of us plus his older brother spent the next couple of days playing through the G series. We ate lots of popcorn (gas oven), drank gallons of hot chocolate, and listened to music on our dm's battery powered cassette player. We listened to stuff like Queen, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, AC\DC and a lot of others. When the sun started to set, we lit up several candles to play by which made it that much better.Now that I think about it...the conditions weren't that bad at all.

I guess it's pretty easy to criticize when you've never paid a penny in eBay and PayPal fees and you've never had to deal with any of the headaches that eBay sellers often endure.Buy, hey — to steal a line from BC — maybe it's just me. What the hell do I know?
