I told a frequent email friend that my nerves must have switched hands, because when I type my name as my usual sign-off, Keith, over 80% of the time now I'll type it Kieth... I did that because I wanted to assure him that it was ME sending the note, not some pretender to the throne... I must

The solution is simply implemented, but eBay would have to WANT to do it. Feedback should be blind until both buyer's and seller's have lodged it. When both feedbacks are in they should be locked in and only then revealed. It wouldn't stop sociopaths from posting unwarranted bad feedbad, but it

That's not exactly true. I sold a lens or some such to a fellow in Oz, and he didn't leave feedback until well after to 90 day period. He didn't tell me how he did it, but it's there. Maybe he had to go through some eBay hoops, maybe he had to set the Kozmik Klok back a month or so, but the

There you go, Cotty. Start an online auction service of your own. Private sellers only. A high level of integrity. Then you only have to figure out how to attract the buyer's who only know about Ebay. There are several online auction sites, most of them seem pretty pathetic. And Ebay, the guys

Feedback doesn't always mean very much. More than one of the sellers I've delt with as much as told me that their feedback would automaticaly match mine. (If I gave them good feed back that's what I'd get in return and the converse would be true, generated automaticaly). Luckly I didn't have
