Personally, I have no issues with Ian dealing with our shipping pools this side. We've also arranged private deals as a result and I have no concerns in this at all. And tbh, I very much doubt I'd have issues with anyone on this site that visits regularly and have bought from the UK, US and Canada as a result.

I would not trust the Cougar as far as I could kick his nether regions, (or buy anything from him all the time I draw breath), but it would seem that a few other members here in the UK have had no issues with him.

I would not consider Ian and Cougar in the same class and whilst I totally respect Ian and Brian, I think their moral views are more of a contrast and causing discussion/friction than the actual event now.

The Coug has also started a third seller account now, still selling the same old, but at different P&P rates in an attempt to draw more people in. Even his new ID takes the piss! But having checked, briefly, the ebay rules, it seems that they aren't bothered with multiple account holders.



BTW, with Spring/Summer approaching, can anyone suggest a dealer in shades...

Ditto.

I've had fine trades/reshipment deals with Ian in the past and we're in process of another right now.  I have no doubt it will go fine as well.

puter, there's a thread a way down, Cougarrinard and his other account names. Best advice, steer well clear from buying from or selling to!

So,  I won this item (with thanks to a heads-up in Interesting Items)




** expired/removed eBay auction **




I just received the refund since the item is 'missing'.



I guess I'm out of luck (easy come, easy go) but I'm very curious if T&T has had underpriced BINs go 'missing' before?

I'm wondering how easily a person can "block?" a seller's listings from showing up on an eBay search. Is it a simple adjustment and can anyone tell me how to do it?
(It would save me a lot of time ploughing through listings belonging to a seller I'm not interested in dealing with.)

Not wih an underpriced BIN, but I did win a copy of Dungeon #1 a while back for about $4. It was refunded because they discovered it had been 'damaged'.
They seem to have a bad reputation with a lot of complaints and horror stories on the boards. Stay well away from them.

probably my own stupid fault for not asking the question, but as per the 'Is this mold' thread, this book arrived today and its somewhat stained in places.

Just trying to attach pics to the the post here and waiting to hear back from the seller. Not sure if they are truly 'Shady' but looking now, the auction picture is taken to prevent seeing the damage...  

That does look like some possible moisture wrinkling at the bottom of the book. Does it smell? And what do the stains look like?

And also how does it taste?

Ok, that's a nasty joke, but seriously, that looks pretty bad. I'm no mold expert, but I don't think it's mold, though. I wouldn't keep it, just out of principle. No way that is "Good used condition". Unless the seller thought it tasted good and he was using it for roast beef dip or something.

It's been a while since I've returned anything (thankfully) so I'm not sure what the Paypal's/Ebay's protocol is. I'd just make sure to have some sort of tracking at minimum for it.
