Some how I don't like your tune.

Like I really care.



This is not the first time I've seen Japanese and foreign buyers paying
way over what they usually go for and blowing away other buyers.

And the problem with that is? Other than it means you don't get the item.


And when it happens to you, I hope you feel the same way.

I have been outbid a number of times, I figure out what the max I will
pay for an item and that's it, if I get outbid, well that's life and
that's how an auction works. I deal with it an move on, not whine and
cry about how it is somehow unfair.



People from overseas seem to be always willing to buy at very high prices
since most Ebayers won't ship out of the country. So, I always stay away
from worldwide auctions unless it's a little item like Brenda Ann
mentioned. Plus these foreign bidders money is worth more then our US
dollar so they can pay more too.

That's life, deal with it. So what you really want is for no foreing
bidders to bid against you so you can have your item. Auctions don't work
that way in case you haven't noticed.



Yes it does work that way with MOST sellers that won't ship overseas no
matter what. So auctions do work that way in case YOU haven't noticed.

But you want a seller to ban overseas bidders on any item you want just
so you have a better chance at it.



So now you want sellers who have an item you want to disallow any overseas
buyers so you can maybe win the auction.


That's right. It cuts down on the number of bidders so if someone states
they won't address all those other foreign bidders and and say so in the
auction, they should stick to it. There are terms that people should stick
to in life. It shows who and what they are in this world. Sorry if you don't
see that.

In other words, you want it fair only for you. Again, it is the seller's
auction, they can do what they damn well please and they don't have to
consult you. Deal with it.

Again, you don't seem

to understand how an auction works. eBay is world wide and no seller is
obligated to disallow certain bidders just for your benefit. You really
need to get a clue. Maybe the Jap buyer had it shipped to a friend in the
U.S. who then shipped it to him.


This is true. I have no idea if that happened. I think it would have been
nice if the seller told me that since I was a bidder and helped bid her item
up high.

Again, the seller can do whatever

they wish about shipping and they don't have to take your feelings into
consideration at all.


Then on top of that, when I asked the seller about her auction and the
Japanese winner, she thanked me for "alerting" her to this and would get
back to me. I even offered her the winning bidders price so she would not
have lost anything. Not a cent. But she never got back to me with any
sort of explanation.

And she didn't owe you any explaination.


No one has to do anything Cmd. For some reason I like to deal with humans,
not robots.

If you had been dealing with a robot, then the no shipping out of the US
would have stuck, you are dealing with humans that can and have the
right to change their mind and make their own decisions, all without
your consent by the way.
