Today I was doing some reminiscing about ebay and I wondered what ever happened to this seller Real Crazy Mo.

The seller was selling all kinds of returned goods with no guarentee of the item working. He gave the buyer excellent notice that the item might not work. My thought were why not test to see if it did anyway.

here is a sample
samsung dvd player for sale return item. please read in big letters.
Then it would state item might not work you buy at your own risk. people would buy item for 10.00 or low and pay alot to ship and then bitch like hell when I arrived broken.

TO Me this guy was selling hot ticket broken items even flies wouldn't want.

The thing that stood out to me was he had tons of negative feedback but was never suspended. I couldn't believe he was still in business. Now I know why.

Ebay was in bed with the monster.
It is funny I can't find any feedback history for the seller Real Crazy Mo .
It really goes to show how desperate people are for deals.
I always am a conspiracy buff. I think that they figured give 2 out of five people working stuff you will make a mint selling broken items.
It is funny they took the money filed bankrupcy and ran.
The whole ebay integration I would have never new.

In the article it states that
eBay participated in ReturnBuy's $15 million second-round funding

Unless I am reading it wrong Ebay had invested in real crazy mo co.

So no matter how many negative feedbacks he received they would never suspend the account.

The funny thing was it was like a poor mans lottery. I know whoever won the item was praying it would work on arrival. Unless they bought it for parts of course. They was selling everything digital, cameras scanners, etc

Ok, I understand now. Its something simular on a online auction over here too. There is a big seller (probly the biggest) who gets negative removed all the time. Its been discussed over here and the online auction says they remove negatives given based on expenicve shipping (shipping costs are stated in the auctions so I do agree that the seller doesnt deserve a negative for this when its stated) or if the buyer say its ok to remove the negative.
If its true or false I dont know, but they have gotten alot of negatives removed atleast.
