I first heard about this source from here at acaeum and am in no way related to that seller. Hopefully everything will turn out well. Just wondering if anybody has some suggestions for other honest creditable online places to browse other then ebay. There was an hour special on ebay tonight on Cbs Tv, did anyone see it, they were fairly critical of ebay .
Great, the last time a TV show ran one of their dumb arse "specials" about the "Dangers of EBAY!!!" I had like all my
newbie buyers afterwards say they wouldn't bid on my items unless I used a holding service to "make sure they got what they paid for", like my 99.9 percent positive feedback and overwhelmingly nice comments meant nothing. I later found out that week's "special report" had something along the lines that you should NEVER buy ANYTHING on Ebay unless there is a holding company that will hold the buyer's money until the buyer gets the item and makes sure it's what he wants, THEN the seller gets paid, because all Sellers are out there just trying to rip off the Buyers. I was actually very polite and let all of the questioners know that I didn't do business that way and the usual procedure was for them to send me payment, I would send the item, and if they had a problem they could use one of many methods to seek recourse through Ebay or paypal, but if they checked out my many years of positive transactions I'm sure they shouldn't be worried. I actually had a few reply to the effect of "Aha!!! The Special Report WARNED me about Sellers like you!!!! When you won't accept a holding company you are trying to RIP ME OFF!!!! I would NEVER buy anything from such a dishonest Seller!!!" I kid you not, that actually happened. God, I hate when the baboon ass shithead media types get it in their pea sized brains to run those "special reports" about something they know nothing about...
However, if the show was about how Ebay is ripping off their buyers and sellers with higher fees, well, hell yeh I'm behind that 100%.
