[QUOTE="clembo, post: 360135, member: 8033"]Hey Steve, Rim pretty much nailed it as others did too. I'll admit I've done my share of ebay bashing but if it educates one newbie on CT then one person on CT has learned something. Several of us have run infoautions on ebay. I know the ones I've run have received very good repsonses from both the CT and ebay community for telling it like it is. As for changing ebay we may not be able to accomplish that but we sure can make them think. When they get a flood of complaints about a bogus auction they tend to disappear rather quickly. Would that happen if not for a bunch of folks from CT reporting en masse? I have done the same thing on Overstock. Infoauctions that is. You know, I took a lot of beginning collectors that are senior citizens under me wing so to speak. Saved these people a lot of money (some had been burned on SEVERAL occasions). Many will email about an auction before bidding. Know what? That makes me feel good. I'd sure hate to see my 75 year old mother getting ripped off on a daily basis. Can it get annoying? Sure, I see your point. Just remember most of us are at least TRYING to educate. clembo[/QUOTE]
