    Why is it so hard for people to figure out how to right click on an address and copy it.....

    Me thinks the good Captn is going to take a very dim view of this seller. That is a big no-no.

    It is a serious violation, and it is good that Support is now wise to it. This feller may regret his choice.

    Just out of curiosity, other than banning, are there other measures that could be taken against the guy?

    Sometimes they just don't know you can't do this. They may have seen it done before and they think it is fine. I think a "warning" will be fine if this hasn't happened before with this seller. There is no need in BANISHING everyone that breaks the rules....but if it becomes a habit....then BYE!!!

    uh, yes.

    he entered into a contract when he listed it.

    From his response he doesn't know or understand the rules. I do think commission paid on the amount he sold it for is reasonable.

    ,,,,kinda leaves the bidder(s) with a bad taste in their mouth, Kasey. Plus, the auction side doesn't need even a 'smidgen' of this kind of reputation,,,,



    I don't have a vote on the rules here, but it looks like a big sin to me. Especially the smartass comment at the end.

    What about the top bidder?
    A newbie... who got the short end of the stick.

    Kinda sucks for a first time experience.

    The smartass comment at the end will end up hanging the seller, IMO. He admitted that it was the winning bid.

    Would it be ok to run his bid up to like 4000 dollars so he feels like he missed out on thatt much money plus he is responsible for that much in fees.

    You know, just to teach him a lesson[}:)]

    vigilante bidders will get terminated faster than sellers that don't complete transactions...

    Just saying.

    Clearly, CaptFun and I were posting at the same time.
    I'm unsure of what a 'vigilante' bidder is.

    But shootuadeal is gonna run me past what I'm willing to pay to fuss with the seller.

    Good luck!

    Let me be perfectly clear. If you bid on an item with no intention of paying just to mess with the seller, your account will be terminated, no ifs ands or buts. The seller will get the opportunity to explain his actions tomorrow and will be charged the final value fee on the item and collect a negative feedback.

    If we just terminate the listing, then he gets no negative reinforcement and will just keep doing the same bad behaviour over and over.

    I don't own a shop, and if I list something for sale on GB, I sell it.

    Here is my question? Plenty of these sales are gun shops, and they say in the listing that the gun is for sale in their shop, and can be sold at anytime. Is this make it OK? Just wondering?
