Too true.

But "you're" also building reputations as rule breakers to honest people. And that really does send a message you may now want sent. There must be many people who read this that never post.

I guess once everyone is a rule breaker, this won't be a problem, but whole new ones will probably pop up.

@MR_SigS Ok please volunteer to monitor every single eBay posting on this forum and make sure that they are only completed on eBay. If not, notify eBay. That way we can cull all these immoral sellers. Deal?

Oh, don't worry, there are already people here who are doing just that.

I'll leave it up to them to decide if they want to admit to it.

I'd be happier if people could be honest on their own.


Choice #1: Other people are cheating. I will too.

Choice #2: Other people are being honest. I will too.

It really is THAT simple :shrug:
But it's just a dream. Money is all that matters to too many.

If I see this scenario, I have no problem reporting it (admittedly for all the good it does lol ).

If people truly see this as being worse than braking your WORD, have at it

That's part what makes this a character study as well.

I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life. kaptainmyke private msg quote post Address this user
Now one thing I have to add that I forgot is this: If I am going to change my Buy it Now listing to a 7 day auction, then I remove the stationary listing at my website and treat it as sold already and roll the dice to see how the auction goes. I've lost money, and honored it. You have to!

No one ever said that, as much as you wish to make it so. Or do you still hope I get scammed on every sale or purchase I make going forward on eBay?

It's easy to rant and rave elsewhere about perceived injustices. It's less cowardly to face up to people and say " you're doing wrong and I'm going to report you for it".

I'm surprised people still try to sell funny books on Ebay. With the listing fee, the final selling fee , the paypal fees plus the leg work of listing items them packaging securely and shipping them out. I'm not saying people should take matters into their own hands and try to cheat the Ebay system I'm just surprise people still go this route to sale books.

If eBay had their way, they would be the only online auction site and they keep 87% of the selling price and we get the 13%.

I just want to point out something that I saw mis-stated. eBay did not create PayPal. PayPal was created by people completely unassociated with ebay. People who saw a need for an easy way to do online monetary transactions accross the internet. After many years of PayPal being the number one method of payment used on eBay, eBay decided to purchase PayPal so they would make even more money off their auction sales.

I never said anyone here did. I don't think I did, anyway. Sorry, if so. Any "you's" I posted were generally spoken. I'm talking about the practice illustrated in the above scenario.
I haven't got around to resolving my log in issues at CGC, so I couldn't post there anyway (assuming that's what you mean). Besides, everyone knows how that would end. Especially you, I strongly suspect.

Probably. Might be best to not use them.

I agree, it takes up space, but if it helps keep things in context, avoiding another opportunities for drama, then I'll stick with it. It should be better to scroll down than to cause a misunderstanding

So to summarize this thread...

-Don't shill bid on eBay.
-Don't trust auction ending prices from heritage or eBay as the actual selling value of the comic because it was probably inflated by shilling.
-Pay eBay and any other sites all of the fees they are owed or go to hell in the afterlife.
-People on this forum will rat you out to eBay.

Did I get it all? I think we are done here.

Always true, ANYwhere.

Perhaps. Research can't hurt.
-Pay eBay and any other sites all of the fees they are owed or go to hell in the afterlife.
Perhaps. Those are "your" dice to roll if "you" like.
-People on this forum will rat you out to eBay.
If they want. Logically the informant has more right to do so than the liar has to break his agreement, right? In a scenario as I described?

Did I get it all?
Unless it's undesirable to do so, could you answer this? I'll reword it:
If a person doesn't like eBay's t&c, and intends to break them, why would that person agree to them?

I think we are done here.

Captain SigS,

Better investigate and report that. Serious immoral stuff going on.

What an odd sentence to follow the first one. How are they related?
And, as you know, I said that because even though you agree the act is wrong and cheats eBay of their rightful fees , you defended the people who admitted doing it and the ones congratulating them. So yeah, I think at the very least you deserve it.
