<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 241933, member: 6370&quot;]I honestly could care less about what the ebay user agreement is, they allow crooked sellers and buyers to essentially run rampant even when 10 people are throwing up red flags...people selling copper ancient coins as gold being allowed to do so shows this. There is no real protection for buyer OR seller so its between the buyer and the seller always to work things out save for the most extreme cases of theft....and I do mean extreme because if selling copper as gold isnt extreme, I dont know what is. All you really have is the trust you are placing on a buyer or the seller.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>common decency dictates that the seller OR buyer who screws up deserves a chance to make it right before negatives are given...neither wants a negative mark...the seller will wait until all is complete in case the buyer is a flake and gives a negative for no reason which happens without doubt. I understand completely and obviously the great ebay gods do not force them to give feedback at all, let alone positive or negative ones right after the money changes hands so I guess they must think its just fine.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have never sold a thing on ebay...I have only bought and most people I buy from do not rate me until all is complete...I have had several problems with dealers who, when I pointed out the problem, made it right so there was no need to give a bad mark...of course there are those who think all should be perfect all the time, nobody makes mistakes, the goods should be there the next day and will go directly to negative if all is not perfect...I understand why they do it and I think characterizing a seller for doing it as somehow being less than honorable is a mistake....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But I also see that this is an issue with you...I understand because I also have issues with things that happen on ebay by both sellers, buyers, and ebay itself...I think buyers using a third party to snipe isnt right, I think sellers who are held to no standards isnt right, and I think that ebay not allowing me to warn other buyers they are about to buy copper as gold isnt right when they wont do anything about it themselves...but I know that its buyer and seller beware at all times and one must rely on the honesty of whom you deal with and take steps to protect yourself, that all you have there...nuff said.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
