-- please flame and blather away and dig your rhetorical hole as deep as you wish.
TO THAT ,I SAY AMEN!!!!!!.
i just received a neutral from one of my bidders who said i have not provided enough information on the item i am selling,and by that she means the item she bidded on ,not the terms i impose.

No kidding. I think we're supposed to be impressed with just how intelligent she is. Yes, let's see how many 'big words' we can use in one post.
Wow! I'm impressed!!
Whatever.
I don't have a problem with terms of sale, and I, too, get very frustrated when people don't follow instructions and/or don't pay.
However, there's no reason to be rude.
It's OK, I'm sure she does a great deal of business and the few people that are offended just won't do business with her again and she has plenty more where that came from.
But, you reap what you sow in life, and it's really not for me to judge, I suppose.
I'm sorry I posted this now. . .I shouldn't have stooped to that level. I just saw it on one of the Yahoo! clubs and it made me laugh, so I thought that I'd share it.

Gee, you'd think bidders would take purchasing something as critical as a Polly Pocket more seriously, wouldn't you?
At least the Soup Nazi on made good soup.
Well, it's good to see this Powerselling Polly Pocket Purveyor didn't let it bother her. She only wrote 11 paragraphs to show how little she was concerned.

Donna -
The number of hits on that auction do not mean squat, since the views were generated due to morbid curiosity and not due to any real sales inquiry.
And as for information exchange, to be the reason for your verbose diatribe and litany TOS, I believe it's the contempt not the content, that the public finds so 'amusing'
It's the public, darling, that looks for the equal application of the Golden Rule!

I would have no problem buying from this guy. Everything he states in the TOS is just commonsense and reliable bidders have nothing to worry about.

i think this is a she,not a he.
there is nothing wrong with her terms ,it is just kind of wordy for a fleamarket environment and too ???
folks come to frolick and wallow in antiques and collectibles-crazed,chipped,rusty and old and find it entertaining,not to read every dealer's terms.
her terms are no different than most dealers' terms,in fact most of the bidders know all about how to behave on ebay,many of them are true veterans,nite after nite,year after year of bidding.
just imagine in a real life open air fleamarket where a few hundred sellers set up their tables-what would be displayed prominently-the dealer terms or the items ?
what will the buyers be interested in browsing-the terms or the items??
5-6 years ago before all these logos -powersellers,links,mc.visa etc ,it was like the wild wild west,you describe the items the best you can and let the bidding begin,now it is like a christian science reading room or a course in business graphic.

oh,if reading terms is IN,how about reading the ME PAGE.
an estate jeweler with a user name of countess,has a whole story of why she uses the name countess,-
here it goes,dont go away and dont fall asleep:
when she was a little girl,she loves all that glitter and glamour of jewels and her parents find her so precious that they call her the little countess,-------------------
later of course little countess grows up and marry a count and together they live happily everafter selling estate jewelry on ebay

The auctions with less than 2 lines of item description and many paragraphs of terms and condition blather seem to be much too common.
What a horrible trend.
Regardless of whether "Everything he states in the TOS is just commonsense and reliable bidders have nothing to worry about." - one of the first lines asked me not to bid if I didn't care to read all that dreck, that's an irresistable invitation.

Well, I have to say that looks like a 5 to me. Everyone can interpret that number differently. Just goes to show that I refuse to ship an item without the shipping address being EMAILED directly to me. I don't play mind reader games.

What I wanna know is how the heck
Did she managed to be a power seller
With Tos and "lovely personality"
Like that, I wouldnt buy from some one like
That even if they would pay me to.
And the page "hall of fame"
What is that?
That was a definite 3 on that envelope
And I could see that from a scan ...
