Yes, but even using this 'not quite right' procedure he has currently dropped below 98%  - 96.4% to be exact.
So he'll lose the Powerseller status any day now.

It would be difficult to determine if he intentionally screws over certain people. However, there is something that I could do:

Determine just how satisfied those satisfied customers truly are. If someone posts positive feedback a week after the auction has ended, it is safe to assume that the item arrived in a timely manner. However, if feedback was posted 4+ weeks later, then the person may have left feedback simply because they do not leave negative/neutral feedback as a rule. I'll start collecting some info on this aspect and report back. Another thing I may do that would be even more long term would be to note all of his auctions and then track each and every one to see how they come out (not everyone leaves feedback...and maybe I should even email those that do not to see what their experience truly was).

Wanna make a guess what he'll sell this for:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 85934&rd=1

It's not that it sold for such a low price and I didn't bid on it (even though I had it on my watch list), its the guy who won it.  Especially by sniping.  The GE tried to snipe me out of a SW Fez I (blue cover) a week ago but I sniped him right back.  

BTW, my guess is $1000

Arrrrghhhh!

Nothing wrong with sniping.  It usually keeps the prices down if you put your bid in at the last second.

Anyhow you should have bid, you could have paid $120 on that lot and still made money parting it out, especially on the second set of books.

Nothing wrong with Sniping.  My apologies as I'm guilty of doing it also.  I guess I was just looking for another reason to gripe about this guy.

HAHAH maybe if you do a little kissie kissie with the winning bidder maybe he'll sell them to you at a highly rare sought after mint  price. :)

A Newbay with zero feedback....or, a shill.  One or the other certainly.

Who wants to ante up modules and bet that he doesn't pay?

I was after the same items.  But pitched my snipe too low.  Still would have won if not for the GE.

Another one that got away. :roll:

Come on, now, who would create a fake eBay persona just for the purpose of buying, and not paying for, extremely overpriced items from a seller who took 2 months to ship an item to him/her that was supposed to be shipped Priority and was shipped Media Mail without delivery confirmation, which was also paid for? No one would go to that trouble.

Unless he's bipolar.  From his posts here and his actions on eBay it wouldn't surprise me.

Compliment or criticism? I can't tell. If only the voices would quiet down a bit.............
