    Not sure who got hurt the worse here. My personal thoughts are both will need bigger trucks.

    What is the deal with this guy?

    Maybe he just wants people's names and addresses to come rob you because you have coins....I know that is really a bad thought, but that is what came to my suspicious mind....

    So if the bookmark sells for $0.01 and the buyer pays with paypal, how much does paypal get?

    I can't figure out what is worse, the guy selling a paper clip or the guy buying a paper clip. It would be funnier if he listed these with a BIN of $0.01 or BEST OFFER.

    imagine, 15 cents for all of those paperclips he listed.

    That is about as nutty as paying 49 bucks for a current year dime...

    Up here in Maine, we call this type of business plan the "Levinsky Method" after a 3-generation failed haberdashery family business.

    Grandpa & Dad built it up, but junior killed it off by selling for less than cost. His theory seemed to be "but we'll make it up on volume!" NOT!! :eek:

    I think the seller is trying to get 10 detailed seller ratings.
    He needs that for the rating to start showing on ebay.

    The guy has 1500+ feedback.

    I'm thinking a practical joke by someone who can access his account or just someone who's P.O'ed at him. An angry friend, wife, ex-wife, etc.

    It's not costly, but what a pain in the ### to have to honor all this silly auctions to avoid the neg. feedback

    Folks used to do this type of thing to build positive feedback.
    I think this guy wants the "5 Star" detailed seller rating.
    He needs 10 ratings for it to start showing.
    If I understand this correctly it would lower his Ebay fees.
