I wonder how many of the 45 people on your list were blocked after they left you neutral feedback because the stuff you sent them reeked of smoke?  :?

What is really shameful is that you would even sell something like that without disclosing it in the auction description.  :evil:

I wasnt going to mention it, but well, since I'm on your list and you decided to post it.  :thumbdown:

Well, maybe this is why I shouldn't post the list.   :cry:

However, you made the list not because you left a negative but because you didn't give me the chance to make it right... I would have happily refunded you.... anyway maybe its good to clear the air... I am a human and I do make mistakes.  Obviously the item slipped by.  I would offer and expect the benefit of the doubt.  Fair?

It's not often I leave someone a neutral or even a neg.  But smoke smell is probably the biggest thing that irritates me.  IIRC the buy wasnt anything major, its not like I bought something for $1000 or anything like that otherwise I would have contacted you and requested a refund.  It was probably a shit day all-around otherwise I probably would have mentioned it to you as a friendly "heads up" and skipped giving you the neutral since that is what I normally do.

I thought about bringing it up when you joined the forum but figured I would just let sleeping dogs lie.  And then today you posted your block list.  That coupled with me being on the "cranky" side of things this morning....I just felt a bit slighted.  I appreciate the PM and will be more than happy to give you the benefit of the doubt.  Thanks for your honesty and no harm done....were good.  :)

KING,  actually I am happy I posted it because we were able to clear the air (pun intended).  I actually remember clearly the "incident" and now personally give the sniff test to each item I sell... So, thanks for being cool.... look forward to reading your posts on the forum, and remain open to dealing with you in the future.

Thanks

If you value your ebay feedback at all, please block ctim1418.  I sent him a book that stated in the title that it was damaged and the item description clearly stated that it had very loose binding.  He tried to extort me for a $10 refund and still keep the book.

I got a negative.  If you look at his feedbacks given, he's left 9 neutrals or negatives out of 13 total feedbacks left.

Here is the link to his feedbacks left:

The strangest experience I had was a several years ago for a couple of Dragon Magazines. I won them and paid within minutes of the auction close. In my payment notes I made a comment along the lines of "I'll leave feedback for you as soon as I receive the shipment."

The seller then sent me a reply that under no circumstances was he going to leave feedback for me until I had left it for him due to his having been burned by others. I replied that I didn't quite understand what the problem was and that I had lived up to my side of the equation, prompt and complete payment, and that I was sure everything would be fine. The seller replied with a more aggressive reply and made it clear any feedback I might hope to receive depended on what I left for him. We had a couple more email exchanges but in the end he was needlessly obtuse and obnoxious. The whole experience was bizarre and unseemly.

In the end I left him positive feedback but on the star ranked communication, considering the threatening language he used, I gave him one star. This led to him sending a raging email about his now having a 99.99% rating for communication instead of 100%, that he was not leaving any feedback, him telling me that he was now blocking me and that he would inform the collector community of how atrocious a buyer I was.

Up until recently I left feedback upon receipt of product if I was a buyer, and upon payment as a seller. Due to eBay's idiotic feedback rules, where a seller cannot leave negative feedback, I now wait until the entire transaction has been fully completed. The lack of ability to leave a negative feedback or anything negative AT ALL for a buyer is unbelievable.
They really fucked the duck with the whole feedback system. I'm looking into Amazon and other places to sell off my collection; I can't understand how another auction site has not risen up to challenge eBay. They are without question a monopoly since they force people to pay via Paypal, which they own, and to date the U.S. government has not gone after them for it. Aside from Lilith Fair festivals, I can't think of anything I despise more than eBay.

Actually, Paypal was spun off into a separate company last year. Doesn't change much, but I like getting the facts right.

I know it was (late 2014 IIRC), but in reality the two are extremely closely linked. You can be sure the respective CEO's go to each other's houses for Christmas.

Hey, this is me (ctimmins).  But that isn't my eBay account.  Which several of ya'll know because I've bought lots of stuff from people here using my actual eBay account which doesn't have my name in it.

But thanks for thinking of me  :oops:
