So at least I know buyer protection works, which is good. But still a waste of time & energy.
PM-Knight wrote in Shady Dealers:I just contacted a seller on eBay that changed one of his auction listings (see below) to allow International Bidders. I let him know about "Cougie", who is now blocked, but he asked about others. I told him about the Shady Dealers thread, but there is no list associated with it. Maybe we could put together a list that would be included with the first post that is just a "Beware of" list to the best of our combined knowledge as of (insert date here).** eBay auction listing blocked.

gyg wrote in Shady Dealers:I don't think this is a bad idea but have some reservations.It would be very damaging to be on such a list without the possibility of 'appeal' within the forum conversation. I realise that this means that names slip down the list and off the front page but maybe it is just up to us all to make our own decisions and appraise each warning as it comes up.I would point out that this works in all directions. We know obvious examples of shady dealers but what do we do with sellers who you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole if they weren't an acaeum user. If you saw a guy who had at leasthe a couple of closed ebay accounts, a 'delayed' kickstarter and issues with deliveries and promises what would you do?As I say, make your own informed decisions and live with the consequences.
