Dean, Hello, I have heard of you many times and you have a great reputation so obviously it is not about you. I think it is likely issues with your links as well. I assume you are a power seller. We power sellers can call and if you call back you may get somebody smarter to speak with. The number that I use is a toll free 866-519-3229. and I am always able to get answers ( but may take more than one call) . It also may be a pearl seller competitor messing with you. As you know eBay these days is basically a glorified yard sale. Most dealers make much more from their own web sites. Good luck to you. Carl -- Carl or Debbie Esparza IMCA 5829 Meteoritemax
