Re: [MOPO] was i duped on ebay??? the paper-backed insert arrived folded

[JR]

Michael,   Your feedback should just state the facts:   "Seller did not indicate this paper-backed poster was folded AFTER backing."   (use the caps for AFTER so he can't claim in his feedback "my description said the poster was folded").   And maybe you should make it a "neutral" feedback rather than negative since it is still a good poster and you got a good price.   If you use anger, and words like "liar" in your feedback people will ignore your feedback as ravings. If you go too far, eBay will remove the feedback for abusive language.   Remember, he will leave feedback of his own for you. Even if you leave a neutral, he might still leave you a negative. Perhaps you and he should agree on the feedback before you leave yours?     --JR   "...I used to wish that my computer were as easy to use as my phone.     Now my wish has come true...

I have blocked you from bidding on my auctions in the future."   so, if i wanted to return it, it would cost me about 12.00 out-of-pocket because of sellers deceit.   frankly, i believe the price i paid was fair.  probably even great.  (i purchased the same style one sheet from the heritage auction about six months ago for about 550.00).  but, the fact that i got a good deal, doesn't changed the fact that seller lied.  my actual bid was hundreds of dollars more; then, i wouldve been really upset.  i never intended to return the poster, but i sought dialogue.  all MOPOers should announce deceptions.  ..............now is ebay feedback time.  (he already left me good feedback...............)  (i received the poster 8 days after i paid).    he never once showed any concern for my disappointment.  lied, lied, lied.  he is a dealer.  he lied, lied, lied.    bad feedback should be reserved to announce fraud, non-payers, and deliberate or deceitful conduct.   seller knew before i bid, that i am a collector, familiar with posters, made the heritage auction purchase, and that my other ebay account has a 300 feedback score.  and he still was deceitful.    so, fellow collectors, and dealers............... what should my feedback say?  wait and see!   Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
