good points. the biggest problem to which sellers are abused is that buyers blame the seller for a damages EVEN THOUGH THE SELLER HAS DISCLOSED A DEFECT IN CLEAR WORDS & CLEAR PICTURES.? Full disclose means the seller is honorable.?? Yet, buyers get angry anway.

They buy something from the other side of the world, it's shipped same day as order and is in postal system for 10-14 days.... so they tick SLOW SHIPPING.... ? Their hotmail address is overflowed, so they don't hear from you, or their AOL filters are set to KILL EVERYTING EXCEPT AOL and they don't hear from you.... and so they tick POOR COMMUNICATION. ? They didn't read the description clearly or realise they were looking in posters and not DVDs, and get a poster and not the DVD they wanted, they tick ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED... ? The list is endless. ? Meanwhile sellers?have no way of warning anyone that the person who spent up several hundred bucks and didn't pay, is to be avoided at all costs.... and yes, you get your fees back, but not the initial listing fee. You get THAT back if the thing sells again.... ? In the words of the great French philosopher, Monsieur W'Hat'isnem,? "Il est fucked." ?
