Anyone notice what happens when you ask an ebay seller a question?

Check this auction which is being discussed on the Regisrty forum:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3923327674

Any questions and responses are posted underneath the item description.

Who wants to ask gottotoningcoins a question now?

flaminio

Oh. My. God.

I love this, and I hate this all at once. Whichever, it will sure be interesting...

It doesn't automatically happen. If it did, there'd be some VERY interesting material in an auction where I recently had some correspondence with a seller.

The questions and answers are only posted if the seller opts to do so!!! I had a question on an auction last week and opted not to do so....Ken

What flaminio just said.

I can't help but wonder if it will crash and burn, though, after people start using it to scream at each other. Remember the bad old days with "feedback bombing", when anybody could leave anybody feedback for no reason at all, with no tie-in to a transaction? Two guys would start insulting each other on the chatboard, and the next thing you knew, the negs were flyin'!

I foresee a similar thing happening here.

Edit: oh. The seller has an option to display the messages or not. That's good. Only fair.

That's a riot!

haha, this is funny. But another "funny" thing is that the counter on the page reads 2, and there 3 questions and people from this board going to it.

Must be lagged....
