Here's a response I got from a fella named Jim: <quote> i) Level a complaint to eBay directly and send one to their suggestion box, as others have.
ii) Your questions cannot be edited by the seller so I go with something like "If it's alright, I'd prefer my questions not be posted. Thanks." Make sure its the very first sentence. It's awkward, but I've had pretty good luck with it. <end quote> Very good ideas IMHO. Jim hasn't posted to the list yet, can't blame him the way some of us COF's growl sometimes. Everybody altogether now: HEY JIM, it's OK we don't REALLY bite! (Probably would but it's just a mailing list!) ;-) Don > -----Original Message----- > From: Don Sanderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2004 7:44 AM > To: PDML > Subject: eBays new "Questions from other buyers" thingy. > > > So, a guy has a "Takumar" lens for sale on eekBay. > I ask him whether it's Auto, Super or SMC. > He responds SMC, great. > But now ALL the buyers can see this on the auction page. > The price'll go way up. > Don doesn't get his super, devious, informed, clever, good deal. > Poor, poor me. :-( > Has anyone discovered a "super, devious, informed, clever" way > around this? > I'm not sure I like the idea of an informed person raising the > price for sellers just by asking the right questions. > > Perhaps instead, I should have asked for a better pic of the > front of the lens?
