Could someone out there please give me a hand understanding this thing? 
Since you folks don't seem to like ebay, maybe someone could write off-list 
to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks.

I am watching a Drake AC-4 being sold by Radio Mart (whom you have mentioned 
before).  After his name, I see the number
5909

then it says
Feedback score is 5,000 to 9,999)
This would indicate to me that his rating is very low in that range.  But 
then it says
Member is a PowerSeller
Feedback:
97.6% Positive

'tseems to me that in a range (rough) of 5000 to 1, 6000 would be about 
20%.  but if they say 97%, ???

I'm looking for an AC-4, so I would bid on this thing; but reading stuff 
here on the list makes me want to shy away a bit.

Can somebody suggest what I should think?

Thanks a whole lot.

Re: [drakelist] UPay or ebay help

2007-11-20 Thread Boyd Van Horn
Howard, If you will click on his user name and then click all feedback you will 
notice he has a total sales of 10287 with 149 negative. He is known to display 
some different pictures than the real thing. I have purchased an AC-4 from him 
and it was ok. As long as the transformer is OK, you will probably want to 
upgrade it anyway. That other AC-4 at buy it now for $160.00 is too high in my 
judgement. Hope this helps. Boyd W0BUW

Howard,

I think that you will find that where a buyer makes multiple purchases 
from the same seller, only one feedback from that buyer gets counted in 
the total feedback score.  So a buyer may have had 8000 sales from 
customers who gave positive feedback, but if some customers made 
multiple purchases so that there were only 5000 individual customers 
then, assuming no negative or neutral feedback, the maximum score would 
be 5000.

Hi Kevin and Howard,

Yes, you're right Kevin, about the multiple purchases from the same buyer and 
its effect on Ebay feedback.

Howard, I think you'll find that most folks on this list (like in any 
population) enjoy Ebay, although like any form of sales, it has its plusses and 
minuses!

Howard, you should plan on rebuilding the AC4 with the kit available from 
the Heathkit shop, at a minimum.  A better bet would be to look at the 
various ham only websites for one.  Also, maybe someone on here has a spare 
to part with.  One last place, on Tuesday PM? (I forget the time and freq, 
since I'm not in the shack) there is a boatanchor net where hams offer items 
for sale.  I'm sure one of the other guys has the time and freq. handy.

[drakelist] GE HAM NEWS AND RCA HAM TIPS

Gary H. Harmon, Jr [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang

1.  I have a complete set of GE HAM NEWS with a few extra issues.  I also
have a complete index of all the issues.  If you are also collecting them
and need a filler let me know.  The list is located at
http://k5jwk.com/GE_HAM_NEWS.com.
 
2.  My collection of RCA HAM TIPS is missing a lot of issues that I would
like to fill.  My goal is to have a complete printed set.  My initial
research indicates 1937 may have been the first year based on my having Vol
2, No 5 dated 1938.  Also, based on a comment I read from a Google page,
1972 may have been the last year.  I'd like to verify both dates.  If you
have any issues you do not want I'd like to get them.  I can offer cash,
trade or graciously accept freebies with full post credit.  If you have some
you want to keep but have a list with Vol, No, date, and lead article, I'd
like to get your list to update my master list. I also have a few extra
issues that are available.  If you need a filler let me know.  The list is
located at http://k5jwk.com/RCA_HAM_TIPS.xls.
 
Thanks in advance.

The key to understanding eBay feedback and how that may impact you is
to zero in on the negative feedback messages, which you can easily
track down by choosing 200 views per page and reading the red items.
 If you read the negatives on his seller, some things just jump out at
you.  He overstates condition. This creates most of the disputes.  He
has poor confliction resolutions skills, which exacerbates the
situation.  He invariably retaliates agains the buyer via his
badmouthing and giving them negative feedback in returnl.  I want
nothing to do with a seller like that.
