If interested I can forward the email address and some pictures, reply off list. -Barry From [email protected] Thu Jan 18 19:11:13 2007 From: [email protected] (Steven Medved) Date: Thu Jan 18 19:11:21 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] Protected Bidding on ebay!

Only a complete idiot would assume that their actions were now "hidden" by the Bidder X label. Rich I refer to the cheats, there are many idiots on eBay. The last time I bid on an Alva one such idiot wrote me and said he had many Alvas for sale. I believe eBay is going to this system to get rid of this problem, I think it would be equally effective if they used a cut off of 200 positive feedbacks as most of the cheats are new to eBay and are quickly removed. I agree, eBay is here to stay and at least they are making an attempt to cut down on the cheaters. The cheaters must be costing them money as that is the only way they act, when they benefit.

I consider you one of these experts and I appreciate them all.

In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> It may be sad commentary on the state of commerce, but I have found that almost all companies only act when it is negatively impacting the bottom line. This is why eBay is also hot on the excessive shipping cost issue. For those that care, there is a link on every active auction down at the very bottom in the "What else can you do?" section and the 4th item over from the left is "Report this item". It is only a couple of mouse clicks to report excessive shipping charges and no explanation is required.
