Re: ebay

i havent, and TBH,,,id avoid ordering livestock on eBay, many a scam artist live there. use a reputable supplier that you can contact and has set prices on stuff.

some eBayer's run bogus sales,,,others have other screennames or friends that bid on the item to run up the bid price.

He actually had 10 negs from within the last 12 months, then in the last month, got another 17, and now has private feedback comments.

Re: ebay

Bullet...
File a complaint. It just might help.
When I use eBay, if the person even has 1 negative comment... I'm very hesitant about them.
Try to get in touch with the person that filed the negative and see what happened.There were a few times that the peron who left the negative comment got a little to hot under the collar waiting for an item and posted too soon.
Sometimes, things get worked out between the buyer and the seller, sometimes not.

Good Luck with it...

Re: ebay

Witfull- I sell on eBay all the time and don't usually have people running up the price of my auctions. Just thought you might want to know that.

Steve
on eBay as coraldynamics-dot-com
otherwise reputable seller

Re: ebay

I seriously hope you weren't offended by wit's comment...

He only referred to SOME eBayer's, not all.
