Al,
If you are shipping something of value, wouldn't it be wise to get a
signature request and insure the item? If that were done and the scenario you
stated, buyer claiming they never received the item, you would have proof they
did with a signature request and if they claim the tube was empty, you can
file an insurance claim to recoup your funds. I have been receiving shipments
and sending shipments for over 30 years, thousands of them, and
only on one occasion did a package arrive with nothing in it and that was the
Joe Hernandez theft of my posters. These are the methods of seller
protection I use, they are minimal costs and they are usually paid for by
the buyer. If you are running a business then you have to protect
yourself, and the aforementioned methods are ways to do it, but more importantly
you have to protect your client's interest also. That is part of the sale and
once you have someone's money, it is incumbent on you to get them their purchase
as soon as possible.
Hey this isn't rocket science, you pack the product, insure it and
get a signature request, and ship it in a timely manner. If a problem occurs
with the shipment, you deal with and rectify it immediately. In all
honesty, don't you think that's fair. I ship over 25 boxes a day
and there are just the two of us packing them up and entering them on the
shipping manifest. Our orders, and we have to build the frames first, go out of
here within 1-4 days. Shipping a poster is a breeze compared to that!
So, I don't understand the problem. I'm an not trying to be antagonistic,
of course mistakes can happen. I just don't understand why, as you claim,
they happen so frequently with your transactions, that they are
always someone else's fault, and they wind up, usually out of buyer
frustration, coming to the attention of the group here. It's not like this
is the first time this has come up.....and please, if your answer is just going
to be a screamfest or ranting, instead of a genuine explanation, then
spare me the reply.

Wow thats says a lot. If this was the case I would never have to say a
thing because TRUE professional sellers and experienced collectors would
never post a lot of the nonsense that is posted here. Look I dont care if you
like me or not. But I have just as much right to respond to accusations as any
one else here. If you have a problem with that then YOU are the one with the
problem not me. If you cant see DAVEs true intentions then you are BLIND.What
purpose was there in him GLOATING that I was GONE FROM ebay like he was
some master killer or something. It sure as hell was not to protect anyone.
Did he not think I would not see it????He had NOTHINg to do with my TEMP
suspension from EBAy. And yes I have some negs. And guess what some (6) have
been removed in the last 2 days. And thats not the point.He comes on here and
makes this a public affair AFTER I tell him to back off on his threats because
Im suppose to tell the post office what to do to his standards.. He got
mad and THEN made this PUBLIC.NOT me he did. If he was so concerned about it
he would have done it from the START. But he showed his true colors and if you
cant see them then I cant help you. I could come on here and cry about all the
people that bid on my items and dont pay me.I could cry about how I send items
out that were paid by paypal and then they claim they never received them and
PAYPAL just takes the money and I CAN DO NOTHING. How if anyone pays with a
credit card through PAYPAL they can just file a claim with the
credit card company and PAYPAL takes the money and you can not DO A DAMN
THING ABOUT IT. How people claim that they never receive items when they were
sent with tracking and you can not PRIOVE itbecausejustbecauseyouhave tracking
means NOTHING. That SELLER PROTECTION is a joke.THat things happen and
YOU DONT know what the facts are but you base things on hear say. I could come
on here and say so and so did this to me. I dont .I Have asked SCOTT to
PLEASE stop these kinds of posts and he lets them go. So why not let mine
go??? I did not start this.Am I suppose to just sit back and say nothing???I
did not bring this up.There are people on here who ARE on my side.They say
nothing because they see what I go through here and do not want to deal with
it. I dont want to deal with it either but I am not going to just let it
fly which is what I have been told I should do. So Im sorry if I
offend some of you.I dont want to. I did not start this.And I do wish it would
STOP.Until it does I will have my say.This was between me and Dave. And thats
how it should be. He wanted to make it into this. So blame him for this.
Al

Subject: [MOPO] Kicking Someone off
MOPO ?
Dr. V,
Of course Scott is the only one who can "kick off"
someone off the MOPO list... and I personally hate it when we get
to the point where the idea comes up in public, although on very rare
occasions it has been necessary. As a group we've always fostered
a very open atmosphere. There are groups and forums out there where people
are kicked off all the time for one infraction or another... sometimes it is
deserved, sometimes it's sheer caprice. MOPO isn't like that. I think the
idea of an open discussion group is a good one, even if sometimes the
results are a bit messy and unpleasant -- but it allows everyone to present
their side if a dispute does come up.
Now, in this most recent case we have an
situation where one seller is clearly out of touch with the reality of
communicating to a group of professional sellers and experienced
collectors. He seems to think if he yells loud enough, is insulting
enough, and claims that since we haven't held the items in our hands
personally that we don't have a right to form an opinion that this list
will ignore the very real problems surrounding his operations. This is
sad and unfortunate attitude on his part, but at least we can see where he's
at and make our own decisions as to whether to do business with him. I
prefer this situation to not having him on the list at all, where I might
never have found out about the complaints some people have with him or heard
from him directly his own peculiar rationales regarding those complaints.
Membership in MOPO has never been a guarantee
that it is safe to do business with someone just because they belong to
the list. People need to remember that. There's no way Scott or anyone else
can vouch for all 400-plus members. And Scott is wisely very reluctant
to take action against a MOPO member. It took quite a while to get
the notorious Joe DePrenda kicked off of MOPO, but it did finally happen.
Now, let's be fair -- Al Shevy is not exactly Joe
Deprenda. His 2-year eBay feedback record isn't the best on the block,
but while there have been 16 individuals who have left negative or neutral
feedback on him, many of them fairly recently, there have also 165
individuals who have left positive feedback on him:
On the other hand, Al's attitude in responding to
public complaints on this list has been combative, insulting and,
worse, haven't made much sense a lot of the time. So it may
be time for Scott to take a look at the kind of posts Al has
offered on this list over the past couple of months, and take the
matter under advisement. But that's up to Scott.

MoPo....???
Because maybe your friend is the one who is a bunch of
bullshit.Maybe you dont know the facts and you just spout off with
nonsense like your buddy.Im not the one who keeps harping on this crap.
I have said NOTHING and yet your buddy Dave just wants to keep it up.
Like I have said before and I will say it again I WILL NOT SIT SILENT
when this goes on.Maybe the deceptive ones are the ones who make the
complaints.Dave has an agenda. Im not saying that Dave has no right
to be mad. I understand it. I would be mad too if I was jerked around by
the post office. He got mad because he HARRASSED me about something I
WAS TRYING to help him with and I told him to back off.And so this is
what he did and is doing under the guise of helping others to
avoide me when in essence he is mad because I told him to back off with
his crap. I am the first to admit I am a ASSHOLE.I dont take crap. I am
slow and I hide nothing.I did not make this a public thing.HE DID. Dont
want to hear about it then tell your buddy TO SHUT THE HELL UP.

Here's a question for the MOPO forum. Why does MoPo
let deceptive members fly under our flag? Why does it let
members remain in good standing who blatantly rip off another
group member? While it remains an open forum and most of the members
are dear friends of mine, I find it, at other times repulsive, cruel
and a bunch of Bullshit!! It's almost time to say adieu to the
MoPo, before I start saying things that might make me end up
sounding like an ASSHOLE!!! Cordially drV

Al Shevy, aka "coolstuff159" is no longer a registered eBay member.
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=coolstuff159
His negative feedbacks got up to 13, double the number when I first alerted
MOPO to this seller last month.
Slow shipping (measured in months), non-delivery, gross misrepresentation of
items, empty packages--a great way to build your business. I know, it's not
his fault and everyone is out to get him.
