Just a thought ,there has been quite a few of our members that have fallen foul of some crook sellers of late,their names are duly noted with what happened ,but two or three weeks down the track the seller and what he or she did is forgotten by all and sundry except the victim
I propose an ebay list of sellers to avoid ,so members may check the list before doing business:hmmm:
I would like to know what other members think .
Kind regards Peter
Good idea. When I go to bid on anything through eBay I always to a quick search on the forums just to see if anyone else has had dealing with them, and how they went.
Great Idea, no body likes to deal with a dick, lifes hard enough without these crooks getting our money and under our skin
Yeah, thats a great idea, lets have a "Merchant Bankers" Sticky, all at hand (no pun intended) & easy to find.

Actually a very good idea. I have been to other sites that have a whole section for feedback. Mostly used for transactions between members, but could also be used for ebay.
I think we should keep our list external. So far we've been behaving around each other like gentlemen. Even if there was some dissatisfaction with the deal, the seller would always take proper steps to make it right. As far as I'm concerned, we don't need any policing.
I wasn`t referring to members as from what I`ve seen ,as you say we all act properly with the best intentionsQuote:

I wasn't suggesting "policing". It just gives people a chance to give feedback for individual sales and actual vendors. Newer members have no idea who is legit and it gives one place to search for info before you buy. Rather than leaving feedback scattered all over. It could be used for something as simple as when others give a public thanks for lessons and other stuff. I am sure you are right its not "needed", but might help some?
This is why I think we should have a list of ebay sellers to avoid .
I got my second red mark on ebay today the seller strung me along for 3 months with excuses miss placed it can you track it down etc had my doe of course , as soon as it was past the point I could complain to ebay he didn`t reply to any of my emails about a non delivered item so I left negative feedback and guess what I got the same and of course his reason was bullshit:cen
So I have complained to ebay and as usual they cant help.
I guess I`m too trusting ,I just expect to be treated the same as I treat others just some honesty and consideration dosn`t go astray in my book,just a bit old fashioned I suppose
I have enough razors now I have a couple I have bid on and waiting on some in the post and that is it for me with fleaboy
If anyone would like to look at my feed back my ebay name is bg42panda
Its unfortunate that a few bad apples bugger it and quite frankly ebay dosn`t give a toss so long that it gets its doe.
This :cen ebay name is OVERLANDING ,I can`t stop you but I wouldn`t touch this sod with a ten foot barge pole. I`m about $30 AU down which I can ill afford but it wouldn`t matter if it was 2 cents getting ripped off is getting ripped off and it leaves a very sour taste etc
Any way have a good day all
Kind regards Peter
Peter, I'm sorry to hear that. If you decide to go back to e-bay, if the item doesn't get shipped out within a month, then it's time to cancel the whole thing and request your money back.
I've been pushing for a good/bad/ugly forum for quite a while.
I agree. We should note the bums somewhere.
Since I am making a vendor directory format what would be a constantly updated PDF file which would be hosted on SRP and linked through the forums, it would be very easy for me to simply create another PDF for this application. The reason I suggest this format is:
- PDF is a format easily read worldwide
- PDF has a very small file size
- Secure with conditional access, which eliminates personal attacks and controls data integrity
- It would be easy to keep everything in alphabetical order and well organized
- The link could be stored on a web browser so access would be easy while browsing ebay
A regular sticky post would work as well, but it does remove several benefits listed above. However probably could be done using a licked sticky thread and suggestions could be pmed to any admin or moderator. I hate to control things from the general masses, but I would be a little worried that anyone browsing the internet could add anyone to the post and it might be several days before this is noticed, and harder to figure out.
Anyway, as always I'll agree with whatever the majority decides.
Not knowing anything about what you just said ,I would suggest to the group which ever is easiest for you
Kind regards Peter
PS I hope the arm is coming along
