He is now suing a buyer for leaving negative feedback

 

He also extols buy the coin and not the holder and then goes on to say that NAC holders offer better value than the other well known plastics

Think I'd steer clear. I've never really had a problem with sellers on ebay, but not aiming towrads someone that looks to be a problem.

[pendragon1998]

No. Sounds nuts.

[TheMightyDuke]

I'd buy something from Shop at Home before I bought from this guy. Takes big ones, or total lack of brains, to even MENTION litigation in the description of an ebay auction. I dont care how expensive or inexpensive the item, this guy just sounds like he is, um, how did pendragon put it? Oh yeah, this guy sound nuts!

I think the phrase "NO WAY IN HELL" about sums up about how I'd feel about buying from a seller like this.

 

Here's my question: How do you know he is suing a buyer for leaving negative feedback?

 

I mean, if he can't follow his OWN rules (which DO allow for negative feedback), then he shouldn't be a seller. Now, if it was feedback extortion of some kind, that's another story, but eBay SUPPOSEDLY has a way to deal with that, or so they say, especially for their NEW AND IMPROVED feedback policy that is coming soon. In my best Chris Matthews voice -- HA!

 

Also, does this guy sound like a lawyer, or what? No offense to lawyers, I worked for them for a number of years, and worked with them in another capacity for even longer than that, and they were darn good to have around, but sometimes, you can get someone (if in fact this guy is a lawyer) who gives them a BAD NAME! But seriously, who else but a lawyer would have these terms and conditions in every eBay auction? Unless the value of items is like, I don't know, for a CAR? Spare me otherwise. For some graded coin worth $10 - $100? I think not.

[Revenant]

Personally, if I read the item description and terms and something just doesn't feel right then I won't bid, even if the price seems good. That said, anytime I see terms that come even close to feeling this hostile I look somewhere else for what I want.

I suspect -- just by the way that this was written -- he is not a lawyer.

 

If he is a lawyer, he's not a very good one, as I believe terms (2) and (5) are mutually exclusive.

 

I also suspect term (1) may be against eBay policy, depending on how it is invoked...Mike

 

p.s. I agree, I wouldn't touch this seller's auctions with a 10 foot pole, and I believe I know exactly which seller this is from.

[michael]

oh my yes i would only deal with him exclusively after reading all this

 

also he sounds quite legit and sane to me
