If you look at what he's paying for auction items versus what he's making on the resale - for example:He bought this copy of H2 Mines of Bloodstone on 5/28... ** expired/removed eBay auction **And he just SOLD a copy of H2 Mines of Bloodstone on 5/21... ** expired/removed eBay auction **So my question is - why restock an item you sell for pennies on the dollar? I sold a copy of H2 when I was new to eBay - with ZERO feedback - and it ended for $21 or some such and change. Is this, by chance, people starting to wonder about his ethics online? I know May is a bad month for retail sales - for online merchants AND brick-and-mortar stores - but a module like this ending for $8 from a "titanium power seller" with "tons of repeat customers" seems like writing on the wall.Just curious, and I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts...

if people did lie to you about me you should report them to ebay for auction interferance. yes of course I will report you as you are a non selling sellr, and deserve to be NRU. my USA address is friend who forwards parcels for me, I think he verified/ confirmed, but its not linked to my pay pal account. dont you ask yourself if i am as bad as these idiots say how i have sold more D&D items on ebay than ANY other seller? i have more repeat customers than any other seller, how do you think I managed that if i as as bad as these liars say? 1- I buy alot of stuff form USA, see my FB see my FB from sellers, most are in USA and get A+ service via M bags I have had well over 4,000 M bags delivered thus far? only a couple have never been sent as far as I know? Most Americans are ok to allow a Brit to bid if they ask, its just more work, but more / higher bids? makes sense to most? and theres always my USA addreess if all else fails? he send / forwads me about 40 M bags a month 2- I like M bags, they used to cost $1 per lb, now only $2 per lb, still half the cost of most other services, who want s to pay more for S&H then they need to? I offred you to pay the differance betwen the cheaper M bags and your expensive serivece? I have given you several options in fact, including offering to pay your full stated amount, THEN you threw it back in my face, NICE? 3- yes its seems people can easily read 65 MUTUALLY withdrawn feedback but have much more trouble reading 36,000 +FB's with 7400 ebayers? 99.3%. I seem to attract many idiot bidders and sellers, I know that very people who "warned" you against me have multiple ID's and use them to influence my FB, they are just jealous and try many differant things to effect my business. Only very few weak minded people ever take notice of them, once the relevant scorrs are compared its obvious whos the comen. I assume they have offered yto buy the parcels for you, on another unrealsted ID no dount already? 4- so I let this auction drop you say? you say you ont want to join the liars? but by listening to them and refusing to sell the item I won you already have? how can you say otherwsie? basically theres not much more I can do, ebay will remove you for non selling if you dont sell, the liars have already managed to get several people NRU, of cours they will deny it, what do they care how many people they effect as long as they efect me? I ma not happy i bid, won fair & square, then these poison mongers get to you, well done. I even offered to pay your full prices, I was jsut asking, check the emails if you like? USUALLY theres nothing worng with talking, I see it was a waste of tiem with you? so lets see how you would feel , lets say in a few years down the line? you give up your job to do ebay full time, )(I took volentary redundancy and put the money into my D&D bussiness) slowely grow the business, and get the attention of a few people each with mutiple ID's who, set up web sites, and disrupt as much of your sales and purchases as they can find/ get away with. effecting your profits, FB and business. with nothing you can do to convince some others who are easily led/ effected that you are the honest trader and they are liars? why else would they bother you? why would they go to the lenghs to protect you a perfect stranger? unless to get at me? they could simply NOT trade with me? but no they want to effect my business a business I have worked many years at. still the frustration over, I leave it to you to think on how you'd feel, and hope that you are never in the position i am in. I can fight them, and have stopped several of their ID's, (they wont admit it as they are like old woman always boasting about everyuthing but NOTHING is actrually true, I would not mind if I had ever had any trades actually with them any of them, but they dont have a shred of evideance everything is third hand hearsay, that they habe grown, most of it is laughable, honestly if I had done HaLF of what they cliam I would no longer be allowe on ebay think on that? I offer you one last time, I'll pay pal with your rates, direct to my confirmed address no risk to you, as you wanted it, to prove I am the honest one and the rogues cheats and liars are jsut that? your choice? i have spent along time on this and should not have had to? the very least you should do is forward the emails to me & ebay for auction interferance IF you are not siding with them, AND LET EBAY DECIDE WHO IS AT FAULT? they will only lsoe one ID each, but that better than nothing? you seem to be siding with them? think about it, be fair and even if you dont sell to me, at least report them? i havedone nithing wrong, they alreadsy have you have the proof? --dave
Mr. Whitfield - This email apparently was sent to you from my "Drafts" folder on Yahoo! email - it was actually a letter I had prepared to send, but since we did not contact each other any further, I never sent it. Something apparently happened with my ENTIRE "Drafts" folder....as all of them were mailed out yesterday (even one to my ex-girlfriend!) without my knowledge. I have contacted Yahoo! to find out what happened - if it was a system glitch, or something else. I had thought we put this to bed weeks ago, and I am sorry my email issue opened an old wound for you. But as I said before, I have no intention of selling to you - as I said in the auction NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS. My only question - which you have dodged since this issue came up weeks and weeks ago - is why you seem "oblivious" to the fact that when people say NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS, you BID ANYWAY! You have done this to more people than just me - I actually have on occasion watched what you bid on, and you seem to plainly ignore people's auction descriptions as far as international bidding! I even sent you an email TELLING YOU not to bid on the item....what part of "no!" do you not understand??? Do you perhaps think you are "bigger" than eBays rules? As far as how much you sell, I am surprised you continue to do so - I have noticed that on many of your items, specifically a few auctions for H2 - The Mines of Bloodstone - you are taking phenomenal losses on what you sell for versus what you pay for each item. If I were losing money like you, I would have stopped selling online a long time ago. But perhaps I guess enough $1 or $2 sales still amounts to several thousand a month. They seem to work for you, much like the PDF auctions you win to boost your feedback and keep your powerseller status intact. Any chimpanzee can see through that tactic, and I feel sorry for the eBayers who are not saavy enough to look. As far as asking me one last time, the lot has been returned to my stock and will be re-sold individually. I will stick to my guns on this one, as I did....I will repeat several times...stipulate NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS. As a powerseller who "sells more on eBay than anyone else," surely you can understand the concept of "Hey, Mr. Whitfield...read my auction. Don't get pissy with me because I AM NOT SHIPPING OVERSEAS." End of story. And since this US guy you know isn't registered to your "cougarrinard" user ID, there's still a chance of a chargeback. My final question to you is this - are you planning on leaving me negative feedback, despite the fact that you ignored my email AND auction terms stating that I would not accept an overseas bidder? If so, please be aware that your feedback will be met with a negative in-kind, letting everyone know how you "Ignore Auction Terms and bid on USA only auctions". I would have left that one already, but I wanted to let this go, and certainly was not looking forward to letting you type "BLOCK WIPE" on my feedback page, as you have done to dozens of others. I am also certain that you take negatives very heavily and have a penchant for retaliatory feedback. I'd like to let this one rest...but if you want to add me to your crusade against a select few on eBay, I need to protect myself and my reputation, as I have done nothing wrong, other than stick TO MY ORIGINAL AUCTION TERMS!!!! Again, I am sorry my Yahoo! kicked out an old email to you - for that I apologize. But let this go. You've already reported me to eBay, so let's not exchange negatives over something DAVID WHITFIELD did wrong. I'm letting you off the hook on this transaction without reporting you for ignoring my auction terms - let's just go our seperate ways. Respectfully, MatteBay ID: centerstagehobbies
