Thanks Engtaz, I feel much better now.

You know I didnt mean to insult anyone here or ebay or anywhere, I just wanted to voice my feelings and make a small point. I think all of us feel the same way.

I'm going to say something that might upset some people....but oh well.

It pisses me off the way alot of sellers and buyers act. They take these transactions way too lightly. Putting stuff up for sale, when they know darn well they are too busy to complete the transaction in a timely manner. Or send a pm or email to a seller wanting a product, when they know they wont be around in a timely manner to pay for it.

When I put something up for sale, I stick around to complete it. I would never put something up for sale, in the middle of surgery or moving or fighting with the wife or sickness OR VACATION!!!. I do this, because I want my name to stay good. I want people to say "hey I bought from that guy and he is quick and easy, he responds to all my emails and is there for me to get in touch with". because I know how it feels to buy or win something you love or need. Maybe its just me, but I dont take selling products (of any price) with the attitude "ah well, I'll get around to it when I can". Thats pretty **** for the person on the other end.

Now I know things happen, the wrath of God can be pretty **** sometimes, but I find alot of sellers and buyers, know before hand that they are busy, but still dont care. They will have a break for 5 minutes, catch a wild hair, and throw something up for sale, knowing they wont be able to finish the sale, again, In A Timely Manner.

I have been , many times, on the other end of a deal, where the seller didnt return any emails for weeks, then I finally get an email and it states that the seller went on vacation or some crap like that. I mean , really, you put something up for sale then go on vacation????

What I'm saying is, lets , as buyers and sellers, take these transactions alittle more serious. Lets not take the buyer or seller for granted. I just hate getting my hopes up when I win a product or ebay or here, then have to wait weeks to hear from the seller and then it gets shipped (hopefully). It doesnt have to be that way if buyers and sellers, clear some sort of scheduel to watch over the transaction. Or dont put the darn thing up for sale if its going to take weeks (sometimes months) before getting with the buyer, to give him/her some information about whats going on.


Thanks for letting me rant.

And sorry for the highjack\\\

Now back to buying...

i feel your pain. i just want to know when he is going to ship it so i can have my neighbor watch for it. the UPS guy leaves stuff on my front porch in open view and in direct sunlight(it is 100 here this week). if i knew a tracking #, i could plan for it.
On the other hand, I am not 100% sure I was'nt ripped off $350. The guy mysteriously has no more auctions and does not respond to anything. I have to wait 10 days to file a complaint with Ebay.

Which is exactly why feedback systems like Heatware were created. I was very surprised when I first trading looking at the FM here and realized that were was no formal feedback system in place. I realize that this is more of a friendly community with informal feedback in place, but it's not exactly easy to keep track of who has traded with who and whether each of the transactions was a smooth one.
