(For example, If I see a feedback below 99.5% I would probably try and see ther reason why, and sometimes there are good reasons)(And I was really pissed when my feedback dropped to 99.9. In hindsight it was just one of those things that was out of my hands, but it really did niggle me for a long time, do much so I nearly jacked in buying/selling completely). But having realised that my feedback is never going to go back up to 100, and is unlikely to drop much below 99.9 I don't sweat it any more.

I've visited the site quite a few times in the past but never looked at the forums until yesterday when the first thread I spotted had a familiar name in the title - yes, your friend and mine Mr Whitfield.About 4 years ago I used to buy and sell a fair amount of D&D stuff on ebay. A friend of mine had dealt with Cougar, even visited his house but eventually got burned and warned me off him. Naturally I ignored him as I couldn't resist a few 99p bargains. Now nothing really terrible happened to me but I still got fed up with him. His postage was obscene and several items didn't come complete with maps as I'd expected. Now to be fair, I'm pretty sure he refunded me for those items - maybe being someone not that far away from him, he was afraid of repraisals, I don't know but still, I learned my lesson. My friend and I used to joke about this guy quite a bit so I remembered his name.Anyway, about a month ago I started the collection up again and then this week ended up watching an item that cougar was selling. I started recalling what a terrible seller he was...and then just a day or so later came across this thread. At first I thought it was an amazing coincidence then I read all 75 pages of this hilarious thread and realise that no, it won't be long before anyone who likes D&D and uses ebay will know of this tool.So hello! And I must say I am tempted to use my decent feedback and 100%+ score to inflict some blows on this idiot.

At that time I had a job that allowed me free reign to travel through the UK with my company picking up the bill, so the next time I won some items I arranged to pick them up from his house. This wasn't the address that he seems to be at currently, though it was still in Portsmouth. It was a typical "two-up two-down" (for our non UK cousins this is a very small and pokey style of house built for labourers in the 19th Century - two rooms upstairs, two rooms downstairs). The entire front room was floor to ceiliing D&D stuff, there is no way that anyone could have used it as any kind of living space.
