I think that Ebay can be a good place for buyer and seller to connect
if you take a few precautions. For instance as a buyer I avoid sellers with less than 99% positive feedback and look for buyers with an established record. As a seller I give more leeway in negative feedbacks before turning a buyer down. I won't ship before payment has cleared. JuLiE Dxer wrote in message . ..

I'd rather help out a local ham/swl before spinning the roulette wheel. |

It makes sense to read the negative feedbacks a person gets - sometimes it's obvious the person who left it is a crackpot. Sometimes it's less obvious, but the person leaving the neg has a bad reputation. "I paid yesterday, where's my stuff?" "Bum left me a Neg because I didn't pay" Obviously negs related to fraud or deception are cause for concern. |

Yes, up to a point. If a seller has accumulated several negatives in
the past 60 days, I'm more concerned that enough people have had a bad experience than I am with the particulars. Besides there is one certainty on Ebay...there will always be another of that same item. "Mark S. Holden" wrote in message ...
