I am too mad at eBay right now.......

ScoutDawg · June 17, 2003 1:56PM

i went in as usual to check the items im watching only to find out that all of them had been erased from the my ebay page
i am too pissed right now, ebay needs to straighten out their glitch or something

Taylor28jag · June 17, 2003 1:58PM

I just got home from work and wanted to check the status of my auctions and ran into the same thing - I found them but it took me a few minutes - they must be having a problem - but it sucks

Taylor28jag · June 17, 2003 2:09PM

it works again

BECKETTSUCKS · June 17, 2003 2:47PM

That's why if my auctions don't reach a certain amount I am cancelling them.

PistolPete · June 17, 2003 2:51PM

<< <i>That's why if my auctions don't reach a certain amount I am cancelling them. >>

They should have a separate ebay area for buyers and sellers like you. Let everyone just screw each other back and forth. Buyers bidding and not intending to pay, no problem, the seller won't sell the card he has up or he doesn't even own it.

BECKETTSUCKS · June 17, 2003 2:55PM

Go talk to eBay.

Has this happened before when I wasn't watching?

How many people said ah screw it and didn't see my auctions tonight because of this?

Will this happen again before they end?

dirtmonkey · June 18, 2003 12:30AM

Ummm, put a reserve on it then and you wont have to worry about it.

BECKETTSUCKS · June 18, 2003 12:36AM

Um if I am paying to list this crap it shouldn't happen.

Say what you will, I don't care.

If those auctions do not hit what I want they are getting cancelled.

Blame me if you want but you should be asking ebay what's up.

dirtmonkey · June 18, 2003 12:55AM

Your call. Like I shive a git. Just saying, do that too many times and get reported and you will get booted.

PistolPete · June 18, 2003 2:54AM

If he's not willing to do the right thing with the price, imagine what he tries to do in other areas as well. Sounds like one of those sellers who tries to profit off of shipping or charges fees to accept paypal.

It would be a good idea to post your ebay id here so people who don't want to deal with nonsense like that can block themselves from bidding on your auctions.

ROCKDJRW · June 18, 2003 3:28AM

BECKETTSUCKS what is your Ebay ID so I can put a note not to bid on your auctions. I like many people use a snipe site. Im sure you have canceled an auction early only to loose many bids coming in during the last minute.

BECKETTSUCKS · June 18, 2003 3:33AM

This is an ebay issue. You don't know me, you've never dealt with me so keep the comments to yourself about me.

I am not posting my ebay names anywhere for anyone period!

Why?

Well let's see. I have had my last username wrecked by people from the AOL chatroom. They bid on like 17 auctions and left negative feedbacks which I had to fight with ebay to remove.

So again don't tell me, I know the ups and downs and ins and outs of ebay and for the most part they suck!

chak · June 18, 2003 3:48AM

If you don't like them, don't use them. It would save a lot of time on your part. Nobody's telling you that you have to use eBay. I don't like Netscape's browers so I don't use them. I've been using eBay for quite some time and I think it's a good place. Things will change a little bit with the lawsuit over the "Buy It Now!" feature, though.

PistolPete · June 18, 2003 3:48AM

It's be a good idea not to let people bid on your auctons if they ask you nicely to allow them to block you as a seller. Its better to do it now, then after you find out somebody who doesn't want to do business with you has placed a bid. If you want, I can pm you my ebay user id, that way you can block me from ever placing a bid on your auctions while keeping your privacy.

You might want to ask yourself why people would want to ruin your auctions. Might might hve something to do with your selling practices. If you think ebay sucks so much why use it? So you hate ebay, pot auctions only to cancel them if you don't like what your getting, sounds interesting. Is it possible that you just post items in an attempt to see what others would pay for them?

If you don't want to give us your ebay name thats fine, but you just told everybody where to go to find people that know it.

BECKETTSUCKS · June 18, 2003 3:56AM

This is the second time I have listed anything in about 6 months and this crap happens. Maybe it's ok with you guys that you pay ebay the fees and this happens but to me it is unacceptable.

If I pay for a service I expect just that. Good service.

Oh and go ask the AOL chatroom. They have no clue what my seller ID is. Also it was kids who ruined the auctions for fun.

When will you guys learn I don't care what most of you think? For the most part I am out anyway.

What Beckett does borderlines on illegal.

What some of the card companies do is illegal.

Then you have to deal with all the friendly people who collect on all the message boards.

What a great hobby.

dherm360 · June 18, 2003 3:56AM

One thing I agree with is I rarely bid until the last 5 minutes. By ending auctions early You will never really know what the auction would end up at.

PistolPete · June 18, 2003 4:02AM

So its ebay's fault that you don't get what you want for your auctions? Are you sure your old enough to be using ebay with that logic? Ebay is a hosting service for auctions, its not like they are going to force people to bid or shill bid for you. Learn about reserves, or just post stuff you know people may want to spend more money on. If you don't like ebay's fees, go to card shows and see what you can get there, I doubt you'll get that much unless you have something special.

What does Beckett do that is boarderline illegal? Same with that card companies? That can be a pretty slanderous statement without facts you know.

dherm360 · June 18, 2003 4:19AM

your not part of the solution either

DAVID12869

not only does he cancel auctions at the last minute that don't reach the high price he wants...he also lets cards end and to make up the money he lost on the card he charges up to $40.00 for shipping one card!!! yes it's true...I'll post a link in a minute

well he's naru now...ripping with a new name these days!

BECKETTSUCKS · June 18, 2003 4:47AM

Uh maybe you missed where I said I no longer use that name and had it cancelled.

Maybe you also missed the over 1000 positive feedbacks and also failed to mention not 1 neg was for selling.

Again that's what I love about this hobby. You guys never dealt with me, don't even know me, yet I am a shill bidding dishonest thief who has crap cards on ebay. Did I miss anything there?

Morons.

If I truly cared enough to take the time and tell you what the card companies and Beckett do I would.

But unfortunatley, I don't anymore.

Haven't searched or bought a card in quite awhile now and again for the most part I am out.

HOFsigs · June 18, 2003 4:49AM

you are out of cards yet you are the resident card expert and upstanding ebay role model...go figure

BECKETTSUCKS · June 18, 2003 4:59AM

You seem to know an awful lot about me for some reason yet I have never seen your username before.

HOFsigs · June 18, 2003 5:03AM

check beckett boards einstein

BECKETTSUCKS · June 18, 2003 5:11AM

Ah the Beckett boards.

Well do I really need to say much about that place? Those Beckett boards are in a state of disrepair right now. That place is the joke of the sports card community.

The Beckett message boards has just topped over 10,000 users and could be the most safest and best place to Buy/Sell/Trade online.

Instead they let a few of the regulars roam free and harass anyone they want without fear of repercussion.

But don't take my word on that at all. Go look at all the posts from yesterday where people have said they were leaving.

No other username here HOFsigs?

HOFsigs · June 18, 2003 5:13AM

beckett boards are a joke I don't go there we both agree it's full of rippers

dherm360 · June 18, 2003 10:12AM

I am DAVID12869 so please post here the negative posts that you speak of.

dherm360 · June 18, 2003 12:48PM

It was on the Beckett Board--you and some guy named Raymond obviously do not get along.
True or not you read things and you become cautious of that person

autobilia · June 18, 2003 12:53PM

Hahahahaha... yeah Raymond followed him around.

BECKETTSUCKS · June 18, 2003 1:11PM

Oh the Beckett message boards again.

Yes that person Raymond does not seem to like me, and truthfully that's fine, can't get along with everyone.

He was making post after post about me over there but seems to have settled down for the most part.

schr1st · June 22, 2003 1:18AM

Just making sure this gem can't be deleted/edited.

<< <i>That's why if my auctions don't reach a certain amount I am cancelling them. >>

Raymond · June 22, 2003 1:55AM

Hello David. Nice to see you are making new friends. Glad you aren't poluting the Beckett message boards with this garbage, but I'm sure you won't give us peace and quiet for long...

David, if you are going to post about me, I will respond.

You refuse to sell cards after auctions have ended on e-bay because you would "lose money". You then offer to sell, with $35 S+H for 8 cards, finally drop the S+H to $15 and you want people to thing you are an honest dealer? You routinely post inflamatory posts on Beckett's, complain about the moderation, routinely report anything you consider offensive to the mods and expect to be loved???? Just to clarify, if you can have the username "BeckettSucks" and that is protected as free speech, then I can have the username "I believe that David12869 is dishonest" also protected by free speech. But you routinely cry to the mods and bash them at the same time.

Yes, I've backed off from bashing you on Beckett's but only because I am wasting my breath. But when you were making a total idiot out of yourself on Beckett's the other day (started by reporting a very funny Matsui RC to the mods), I indulged in only one reply. In case you missed it, I'll cut and paste it for you:

"Wow! A whole bunch of David posts without me! I have to say, things haven't changed much and I am tired of this fight, and I made a promise not to fight it anymore. But I will indulge in one last rant:

David. You are wrong.

You think that a transaction that occured 6 months ago should not be judge as it is not important in revealing your character. You are wrong.

You think that you can justify charging $35 for shipping 8 cards. You are wrong.

You think that dropping the fee to $15 justifies your actions, when actual shipping is $6. You are wrong.

You think that since the buyer has moved on that you were morally correct. You are wrong.

You think that you can back out of a contractual obligation because it doesn't suit you. You are wrong.

You think that your freedom of speech is absolute but that ours must end where it inconviences you. You are wrong.

You think that crying to the moderators when you actively tried to destroy this board and when you degrade them every chance you get, and that they will bow to your every whim. You are wrong.

You think that we will change our signatures. You are wrong.

You think you are above us. You are wrong.

You think you are honest. You are wrong.

You think you are intelligent. You are wrong.

You think you are right. You are wrong.

This thread was started to report on what statements were made by a former boardmember on his site. I feel he has the right to post it. We also have the right to react to it. You have the amazing insight that he has every right to post that junk, but starting this tread was inflamatory. You are so wrong.... "

dherm360 · June 22, 2003 1:58AM

Nice Rant Raymond, Welcome to the board. I Have heard alot about you!

Raymond · June 22, 2003 2:02AM

Thank you. I actually rarely get into these flame wars and usually stick to hobby related stuff. Mostly collecting auto cards of current players and HOFers. Recently got a beautiful framed UDA certified Ted Williams autographed litho.

I must say that the David wars did wonders for my post count at Becketts......

JErik20 · June 22, 2003 2:32AM

This quote by beckettsucks says all anyone needs to know about the intelligence-level we're dealing with here:

"With the buyer knowing that I would lose money on the deal wouldn't that be the same as them ripping me off? "

You'd think with E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E telling BECKETTSUCKS that he is WRONG, that maybe he'd sit back and realize that he is wrong and change his stance. But no, not this idiot. 25 people telling him he's wrong, and not one single person agreeing with him, and he still thinks he's right and that we're all idiots..... the blind idiocy of some people amazes me

Erik

BECKETTSUCKS · June 22, 2003 2:40AM

Well perhaps if you would have read ALL 6 pages before posting this crap JErik20 you would have read that I did change my mind and decided to sell to everyone. Please note though I did not change my mind becasue of the idiots like you, I changed my mind because of a few names that posted that I respected.

But no you would rather run off at the mouth and not bother with the facts.

It is ironic that I don't post anything on ebay for about 6 months and then when I do there is problems with the searches and looking up cards.

Raymond · June 22, 2003 3:02AM

Ummm, I read all 6 pages. Many times. You refused to sell because you would "lose money". Then you charged over $35 for S+H on 8 cards. Then you dropped it (unwillingly) to $15. You said you needed to charge that to cover your expenses. Let do math:

8 penny sleeves: $0.08
8 toploaders: $0.80
Priority mail: $3.50 (free box)
Delivery conf: $0.55
Insurance ($100, the total sale price of the cards in question was under $100): $2.20

Total: About $7. So where do you get the other $28 bucks (or even the other $8)???? And you still think you are right!!!!!

But this was his reply recently on Beckett's to the whole situation.....

"Well I think you are posting to cause trouble but I will gve you my advice and act like an adult.

You can first email the winning bidder and explain to them that you will be losing money by selling this card so cheap. I am wiling to bet that they will understand and the matter will be dropped right there.

Please also note that before commenting on the shipping charges that he had his choice with $35 being the high end (of course you would know this if you weren't causing trouble and would have read ALL 6 pages).

Please also note that he sent me a physically threatening email and also emailed the other winning bidders (but again if you would have read ALL the pages you would have known this).

Please also note that I offered to send for $15 and that would have included Priority Mail with full insurance (but again if you would have read ALL the pages you would have known this).

Finally please also note that this was over 6 months ago and like adults Allen and I agreed to let it end. We don't continue to harass each other like this on CU (again would have known if you read ALL 6 pages)."

E-mail the winner and explain that you would LOSE MONEY?????

Have you ever seen this line at the bottom of every completed auction:
"*Note: Both buyer and seller are required to abide by payment terms listed. These terms can only be changed if both parties agree. "

It is a legally binding contract.

David, you think you are right. But you are wrong.

Jmnesq · June 22, 2003 3:40AM

David 12869. Ah yes, we meet again. So you're not in the hobby, you hate Beckett, yet you spend most of your free time on Beckett or on this message board. I don't quite understand why.

Could you fill us in as to why you're trying to make things safe for us, but you don't even collect cards anymore?

I am too mad at eBay right now.......
