Do one of two things,
Use the package in which you mail me my card to include pamphlets, letters, leaflets, or anything of the like to peddle your religious views.
Use the feedback space intended for leaving my feedback to express your religious views.
I have absolutely nothing against any religion, or anyones beliefs. What I do have a big time problem with is the absolutely improper bahavior of a vast many religious folks who feel that they can push their views on someone else whenever and however they please.
Both instances I described are 100% wrong, inconsiderate and downright disrespectful. This week alone I had each of the two described happened to me. Both sellers are now on my dont ever buy from list. I am very tempted to use the feedback column to express my displeasure in a not so nice manner, and the next one that sends me their unwanted solicitations along with my cards will be receiving a 20lb box full of the most NON religious, distasteful stuff I can possibly find in return.

<< <i>While I would never do it, it would not stop me from buying from someone. A good deal is a good deal!!!! I would just throw out any papers you don't want. As far as leaving feedback, I see people adverstise their business, which I frankly have more of an issue with. That being said, it is their perogative to write what they want. They just better leave a positive feedback. >>
I dont agree with people advertising their business whatsoever, but at least it has something to do with the transaction I was involved in them with.
As for it being someone perogative to write what they want, I wholeheartedly disagree with you on that. It is not someones right to use the space intended to leave feedback for a sportcards purchase to spew their religious views.

Well said BunchOBull
<< <i>As far as sending you religuos pamphlets in your purchase who cares? ! >>
I care.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with sportcards or anything else I am purchasing and has no business being snuck into my package. They deserve to have their pamphlets used as toilet paper and mailed back to them.
And as far as feedback, dont leave me any. Hell, leave me a negative. Id rather have a negative than someone pi$$ing his or her religion my direction without me asking for it.
The sad part is the one who left the feedback has 3 neutrals and 7 negatives this month already. He should spend his time praying for a reason for anyone to continue to buy from him.

Mailing of unsolicited bible thumping stuff is completely improper. Bri might be a devil worshipper or a Wicca.
Would it be ok for him to send his payment along with various pamphlets from either of those?
<< <i>I completely agree that it is totally inappropriate and a total waste of time on the behalf of those who spam your eBay purchases and feedback with religious information. I've never had that happen. At the same time, retaliating against these people only further ingrains their ideologies into their consciences. If these people "spread peace" and are met with opposition, then, in their minds, there is still a need in the world for "soldiers" such as themselves. I'm a Christian, I'm not ashamed to say it, I'm not scared of retaliation for having said belief, but, for me, "spreading the word" is a lifestyle, not a soapbox. I guess my only questions would be, if someone tells you they are going to pray for you, do you feel as if they're forcing their own religious beliefs upon you? Would you rather them not pray for you? Because the people who send this spam feel as if they're doing you the same kind of service as those who are simply "praying" for you. >>
In most cases for someone to say they are praying for you, you and them are in a position far different than an ebay sportscard purchase. if I came on here and said I had a family member who was ill and you said you will pray for me, great. To compare a situation such as that to sending unsolicited material along with my cards is off base and going down the apples/oranges road.
It is exactly your comment about people who send this spam feeling as if they are doing the same by sending you unsolited material that is the root of the problem. They are so warped they cant see the difference between one thing and the other, or between right or wrong, appropriate or inappropriate. They are the same ones who are gung ho anti abortion yet will stand outside a clinic and call for the death of the workers inside.
I do not wish to turn this into a religious or ethical debate. If someone is too blind to see how the two things I mentioned are inappropriate than nothing I or anyone will say here is going to change their minds.

<< <i>yes they do but it costs you nothing...the fees come from eBay to them if you buy through the link. For the work and job they do filtering and alerting you of your want list they should be able to make a buck. >>
Do you even realize that you responded in the wrong thread ? TWICE ? LOL

nah, he spammed the other thread with a little different reply about OC's.
Frankly, I can search ebay myself. Unless there's more to it, I fail to see what's so great.
im sure there is NO adverstising whatsoever lol.
anyhoo, i have twice had folks send religious crap through the mail. it goes into the trash and those folks dont get feedback. Dont peddle your beliefs on me, keep it to yourself.
Like it or not they are well within their rights to write religious words in their feedback. If they weren't, EBAY would remove it. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean they don't have a right to do it. On the flip side, you have every right to block them, which you did.
People do a lot of things that we find offensive. However, with all the awful things that are happening in the world, sending someone religious information should rank pretty low on the list. I would rather get a piece of mail that I can discard instead of all of the annoying telemarketing calls I receive. Oh well, to each their own.
Religion is private. I believe something that I feel like I can share if I feel that person wants to hear. But only if they want to hear. I would never force it on someone. Sorry dude.
<< <i>I feel like you're awfully ANGRY about this and that's probably not healthy for you. Why not let it roll off your back? >>
perhaps we should all say a prayer for him tonite?
I agree, this behavior is absolutely unacceptable, and these people wonder why there's such a backlash against their preachings?
The types of retaliation mentioned here is pretty much the equivalent of spitting on a guy for holding the door open for you when you've got your arms full of stuff.
<< <i>freedom *from* religion should also be enforced. >>
No one's "civil rights" have been violated. The Government played no part in the insertion of these religious documents. There's nothing to enforce here.

He might have replied to the wrong thread. But if you are slamming him, make sure you don't solicit the board for free price checks through his paid subscription website. His website provides valuable up to date information.

Slamming? Laughable.
care to point out 1 occasion where I've asked for a price check?
There is a specific forum here to spam one's ware's and to do so in someone's thread shows a lack of respect for the OP.
Can I get on the bandwagon for the 20 pounds of totally inappropiate material ?????????????? I'll take some !!!
