Idiots on e-bay

It sounds like them bidding on these items has upset you! I wonder why? It's certainly not your problem, is it? You never know the situation these people are in when bidding, and whether or not they're new. A lot of people don't know how the rating system works until they start getting the hang of eBay a little more (admit it - it CAN get to be confusing!) and some people like to think about the best in people rather than the opposite.

I definitely would check ratings if I was bidding; it is the sensible thing to do. If someone doesn't do that, though, I wouldn't call them an idiot, I just wouldn't say that's a very smart thing to do.

I like many people these days am finding money a little harder to come by...and a little easier to dispense with, so am extremely cautious! Negative feedback, no matter how earnestly I wished the product would certainly deter me! I guess what surprises me, is the e-bay, with that many demerits, still allows this person on their website! I think that if I stumbled across this person, I might ask e-bay a few questions! Guess you have "blown a hole" in my beliefs, as I was under the impression that e-bay had higher standards with their sellers! Thanks for the "heads up" dear friend...I will look at e=bay in a less jaded manner. Cheers!

i am a regular ebayer and i always check the reputation of the seller before i buy, but i did make the silly mistake of buying an item from one user without checking, i never received the item, it cost me £10 and it took forever to get my money back, i had written to this guy over and over again for a refund but he chose to ignore me, it took me 6 weeks to finally get my money back and that was only because i reported it to ebay and paypal and told them who this person was and what i ordered and how long ago it was, i also left negative feedback on his page letting others know that he was a unreliable source, he did have his account deleted and i also got emaild from other users telling me that they too had been ripped off by this person, he was making a fortune out of us and not coming across with the goods....how do these people sleep at night....some poeple just don't learn do they, it's at their own risk if they want to bid on an item without chacking first, if they get ripped off then they only have themselves to blame.

I guess they're just too anxious to get a good deal to look closely. Sometimes the gatta have it now mentality gets a lot of people in trouble.

Wow...and I'm already thinking hard about bidding if the person has 4 or 6 negatives. Sometimes it may not even be other people it may be the sellers friends or himself creating different accounts and bidding on the sellers own items to lure the real bidders into bidding and getting stuck with a crappy item. There are some people who don't do their homework before bidding like checking how long the seller has been a member and all the feedback: Negative, Neutral and Positive. You also have to make sure if those positives are suspiciously the same buyer(s) and then check to see how long they are members themselves.

Reading the description carefully is very important. Some sellers will sell something like lets say a fishbowl and they wont put the size or the material it's made out of. Some people expect it to be made out of glass and a decent size, but when you get the actual item it's made of plastic and its small not even for a fish to live there. It's why you have to ask questions before bidding or buying an item. Also a lot of new ebay buyers fall victim to shady merchants because they are barely getting to know how ebay works. Also for the guy to have over 40 pages of negatives...shame on ebay for allowing such a seller to continue ripping off buyers. The idiots I must say the buyers for not doing their homework and taking a risk and complaining later.

hello, dear friends, i learned that u r a seller on e-bay. that is great!
now i am also wanting to sell something on the internet, i mean, some delicious
chinese snack.
but to apply for a shop on e-bay is very complicated thing for me.
and i also have trouble transporting my goods. because they are foods.
i heard that those international express corporations will not accept them.
is that true?
i do want to sell some delicious chinese snack, perhaps you can give some advice to me or we can work together to make it?
by the way, please allow me to add you as a friend.

no chance on the face of the earth that i would every even think about bidding on an item that is from a seller like that. not to offense anyone but whoever bid on his items has to watch out a little more closely on his feedback and rating.

You have to be real careful of who you buy from on ebay, I always their feedback first. I've bought some items that took forever to get to me, and I don't know why on some items the shipping is higher than the price of the item. I don't think they should be able to charge whatever they want for shipping, then take forever to get to you or it doesn't work or has parts missing.

It does sound silly that people bid on items placed by such a person. This just shows that people are careless. They are also careless with their own money. It would be their own fault if they get any problem with their product.
