What they say
Smooth Transaction

I was blackmailed into leaving positive feedback before I got my refund.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What they say
Super Ebayer, Fast Payment and Smooth Transaction -- hope to do business with again

Sucker!!

What they say
Unreasonable seller -- my mother died and you leave me a neg!!

What it means

What they say
Seller accepted return and refunded money.

What it means
I read the picture wrong, the coin was an overgraded POS, and I am one of the 5% that called the seller on this and returned the coin. The other 95% do not know any better and are getting screwed.

Here is the great conundrum of ebay. 80-90% of all sellers in the coin market charge too much and in many cases way too much. Your local dealers fall into the 90% category as do "most" large retailers (sorry guys). But on ebay 99% is an average +FB rating.
Even the crooks usually have a rating of 96-98%.

Now why in the real world do sellers only give really fair value about 10% of the time but on ebay the number jumps to 99%. Amazing.

After 7 or 8 emails you finally got around to making that credit card paypal payment - I hope it doesn't get charged back

What they say:
Coin arrived.

What it means:
As the buyer I resent being asked to leave feedback first but I need to up my feedback score.

received this morning from buyer of 6/21: $167 BIN

I'm looking at my finances and realized that I don't have cash for the money order. So...two choices:

1. If you can wait 7 days, I can send the money when I get paid.

2. If not, I apologize for the inconvenience but I have no cash and the post office takes no credit cards.

Let me know what works best for you.

Is the "I cant afford this but I am goingto waste your time as well as mine by sending this retarded email and ending an auction you would have gotten paid for" machine broken as well?

What about the ATM machine and take out a cash advance? Do you not take credit cards on paypal?

I can take a credit card over the phone but this guy chose to take the auction with the el cheapo price with the money order payment and then wanted to do paypal.

He could have taken the higher priced auction with paypal payment but .....
