One time I paid for my item, then the item came in the mail. I was happy with the item, then the seller and I exchanged feedbacks. It was a good time.

I had purchased a lot of 100 Modano hockey cards, and the seller was taking a super long time sending them. I understand it may take a bit longer since they were coming from Canada, but still it was a super long time. The funny thing was that he had already left me possitive feedback, so I know he got he money. So after about a month the cards arrive, and I leave Possitive feedback. Then about a week later another lot of 100 differnt Modano cards arrive, no explination no nothing.

The seller either forgot that he had already sent the cards, or figured something had happened to the first lot, so he resent. Either way I got 200 Modano cards with about 140 of them being differnt cards. Of that 140 I only didn't already have about 50 but it still was a great eBay experience!

One time I won this auction cheap and the guy threw in a few extra copies of super mario all stars and super metroid for the heck of it, and some other games too. It wound up being worth double what it would have been without the extra games.

One of the first auctions that I won off if ebay was for the purchase of a intellivision 1 with a handful of games. The seller stated that he did not have the connector (TV/Game Switch) to test the system but was told by the owners that the item indeed did work the last time they had used it. I won the auction relatively cheap considering the few games that came with it were Uncommon.

The seller, "Topanco" had great communication and left feedback as soon as I paid him and we arranged for me to contact him once I got the system. The shipping was extremely fast for coming across the border from the US to Canada, however the system did not work once I hooked it up. In fact the system had two small brown dried leaves inside that fell out. (At this point I am immediately PO'd. I contact the seller calmly stating the inadequacy of the system. The seller responded so fast and bent over backwards so far I'm sure he needed a backhoe to remove his head from is butt. What he did was refund the full purchase price, including shipping, and I got to keep the whole mess. Working games and all. He apologized profusely, and refused to have me ship back anything at my own or his cost. (I was really starting to feel bad that this guy was giving me this stuff at a loss.)

Needless to say I recommend this seller in all aspects to anybody, and I left glowing feedback.(The system was actually packaged well too, I just think the leaves added insult to injury of a non-working system that had probably spent a long time in a garage)

I have never dealt with somebody all of the way through a transaction and subsequent problem so well. Even away from ebay. This seller rocks. TRULY CARES that the transaction goes well for both sides.

BTW: his current seller rating is 981 with a 99.7%. 3 negatives since March of 2000.

Here's my story I buy 6 genesis contollers from Bob on ebay. Good transaction, good communication and I mention that I will be getting a new NES soon and I need six NEW controllers for that also. He emails me pictures of all the different NEW NES controllers he has including out of the box and front and back of the boxes. Two months later I email him and ask about the controllers and he gives me a very fair price and I tell him I will send his money. Two days later a box arrives and the controllers are in it. I check my email and he says he didn't want me to have to wait to enjoy my new stuff. He sent the controllers BEFORE payment arrived because he wanted me to get started enjoying my new NES. WoW that's a nice and trusting guy. I was SHOCKED!
