I've done over 600 e*bay transactions and had three or four bad ones and all
of those were for small amounts of money. I probably couldn't do any better
than that here in town. I did get involved in a fraud situation that could
have cost me $2000 but the red flag went up before I sent any money. Along
with some vigilance, clear and congenial communication is important. Happy
trading and have a good new year. /jmac

Subject: [OM] Re: Am I out of line? (Ebay politics)
I am a little surprised that some of you have had such bad experiences
buying stuff on our favorite auction site. I've done close to 100 deals,
all as a buyer, and I have been only mildly disappointed two or three times,
never enough to renege on the deal, ask for a refund and threaten the
dreaded negative feedback. Either I am (a) very lucky; (b) incredibly
perceptive and able to discern a seller's credibility, or (c) too damn dumb
to know when I've been screwed.
Then again, I don't think I've ever been screwed without at least having a
flashback or two and remembering a little bit about it the next morning. Of
course, I may have sent flowers a time or two to a lady who didn't really
deserve them. But what the hell: that's the old-fashioned way a gentleman
leaves positive feedback. :-)
