Problem auction with one of our own. Thoughts?

[Rob2600]

I've explained it a million times already. The number of auctions in which I use a stock photo, are extremely limited. Probably one out of 20.

I understand, but guess what? That means you're leaving yourself open to problems one out of 20 times. Don't do it! Instead of listing the item on eBay, wait a day or two until you have access to the item. That way, you'll avoid receiving negative feedback 100% of the time instead of just 99% of the time. Believe me, I know how it is to be on a roll, but taking some extra time to make sure all of your auctions are perfect is worth it in the long run.

I'm just trying to help.

Look, it's all gravy man. I'm done with DP. It was fun while it lasted, but it's time to move on. Everybody take it easy.

Make sure you say hi to Queen of the Felines and every other DP member who left in a huff thinking their presence would be missed. If you're going to let one person ruin DP for you, that's a problem. There are plenty of people here who've defended your position on this.

I just finished reading through this entire thread, and wow....

Anthony, your ebay selling techniques are bad at best. Your shipping policy is the most retarded thing I have ever heard and has no merit because the Post Office will come pick things up from your house for FREE, you can use thier FREE boxes/envelopes/stickers that the will DELIVER TO YOU FREE, and if you are an average person (being generous here) you get things in the mail often enough to recycle packing material. So your "driving, waiting, time, blah blah, im a tool, blah blah" speech is uncalled for and frankly enough for me to say "F-That!" when looking at your auctions.

Good ebay rules:
1. If you don't have the item in your hand, don't sell it.
2. If you can't explain everything about the item, don't sell it.
3. If you don't want to take the time to take pictures or properly explain your auctions on ebay forcing people to have to beg you for information then don't sell it.
4. If you are "that guy" that tries to scam people (your turbo-tap incident, the judge judy lady selling pictures of cell phones, etc.) then you shouldn't sell on ebay.

In general, you need to file a hurt feelings report, because you are crying like a little girl that didn't get elected prom queen.

Why would someone bid on an auction where there is no photo and no description, and not ask for a photo or a description, and then complain about the condition of a game? This whole thing reeks of a set-up or just plain pettyness.

[Sniderman]

Wow. This thread reeks of douchebaggery.

1. The seller.
2. The buyer.
3. 30% of those posting to this thread.

That's exactly what I got after reading through this mess. Really I just feel embarassed for all parties involved, including everyone who jumped on the dogpile. How shameful. It's disgusting that DP members would treat one another this way. I guess "community" means different things to different people.

It has been well documented that Anthony1 uses stock photos in his eBay auctions. All things considered (bidding on an auction with a stock photo, not asking about condition, and then negging a fellow DP forum member without allowing the seller to rectify the situation) shows me that the real intent here was to ruin someone's perfect feedback and to "teach him a lesson."

Well, congratulations. It's so wonderful to see a bunch of forum members acting like complete dickheads to one other days before Christmas. Seasons greetings!

Queen of Felines left? I kinda liked her.

Anyway, I side with Anthony on this one. Not that he's always the best advocate for himself, but there is nothing in that auction that makes me think mint condition. In fact, my assumption would have been that it wasn't. Stock photos are fine in my book. If condition is a priority, act on your own behalf and confirm it. Why assume Anthony had you in mind when he created his auction? Ebay is not retail, and to expect a seller to profile his market like a professional is pretty unrealistic. It's just a big yardsale. If you want guarantees off the bat, shop at an actual business. Otherwise be prepared to deal with people who may have different values and perspectives than yours.

Anyone getting mad over a $7.95 game needs to get a life.

Anyone getting mad enough to fight someone over a negative feedback needs to get a life.

There are a lot more important things in life to worry about.

This thread makes me wonder if there really is any hope for the human race.

Pathetic.

I just have two remarks:

1. When was the last time the op posted in this thread?

2. This entire thread is nothing but redundancy redundancy redundancy.

GET OVER IT. bad deals happen oh well it isn't the end of the world. put your big girl panties on and roll wth the punches. i guess that was three remarks but oh well.

[Oobgarm]

An argument between two people should be left that way, you guys only made it worse.

If that's the case, then this should have been locked up straight away and the two parties involved told to handle their dispute via PMs. It's obvious what the intention of the thread was to begin with.

Just sayin'.

[Richter Belmount]

Did it ever occur to you to...... Ask for a refund? if your dissatisfied?

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

As one of the parties involved in the dispute has left the building, I'm not sure there's a point in leaving this open for discussion.
