It sounds like those who know him might want to drop him a line and point out the issue with using the eBay communication system in this way. As a seller, I can understand the concern raised. Trying to be a good merchant, you work very hard to prioritize such questions (often writing rules to catch specific eBay verbiage in titles and sending them to special mailboxes for immediate followup) in order to respond to them as soon as possible (especially so if the auction is close to ending). If the question is just a general comment or suggestion, it's keeping the seller from answering potentially important questions from potential buyers. If he should desire to send general commentary to the seller, there is a link on the "Seller Info Page" that can be used, and it uses a different title that can be excluded from message filters/rules.

Better to ask questions before hand IMO. Apparently you did not READ what I typed. Clearly my problem is not with REAL QUESTIONS. Tell me how this is a "question" "You keep coming up with Great Commodore items! You must be getting rid of your Commodore collection? Thanks for offering these high-end items!!! - 94bravo" again, I do not need SPAM in my ebay inbox. I do not care if this guy is the second coming, spamming me through ebay is unacceptable!

First, let me say Thank You to all who have supported me in this tirade. It's appreciated. As for this person's posting about a reasonable eBay procedure to determine a Seller's connection to their auction, I advise all my contacts that: (1) If they are interested in an eBay auction, send an email to the Seller and see their response. (Email Blocks will never receive a response, e.g., AOL settings) (2) If their response never directly answers your question, decide whether or not you want to risk a bid. (3) If you see an item on eBay that you already have and are not necessarily interested in bidding on, don't hesitate to send an email to the Seller to either Compliment them on their auction or to include addition Wording that may help their auction - it's Usually received as a welcomed input by the Seller. Most of us adhere to the concept that eBay is a Community and helping each other is what it's all about; don't you think so? So, I think the original poster's misguided blog could have been better spent by including more information in their Auction Descriptions so that a potential Bidder would not have to have asked a technical question about the item in the first place. Also, it seems that some don't know how to take a Compliment? eBay's 94Bravo... --- frmsrcurl: http://compgroups.net/comp.sys.cbm/94bravo-on-ebay |
