Are the suits at eBay REALLY that stupid to keep letting money slip
through their fingers by allowing sellers to charge sky high shipping
fees that eBay gets nada on?

Dave

If you took time to read the ad it the seller corrected the
typo to $5.00

Since many of his other items show $5.00 shipping, I'd be inclined to think
it was a typo *BUT* I'd damn well check before I bid

5 million new listings per day, 9,300 eBay employees. Do the math.

I read the description and looked at the plane. I didn't get involved
in reading or viewing anything on the page below the image of the plane.

They have COMPUTERS and the listings are part of a database. You make
it sound like their employees would have to MANUALLY sift through
millions of listings. That's ridiculous!

Dave

David,

Your continued bluster after being told that it was a typo is pointless.

That's exactly right, because the seller didn't actually change the listing of the
shipping aspect, he merely states "shipping is $5" in reply to emailers.

That means still, that the *BUYER* is still obligated to the contract of what
the page says, and the seller can enforce it. I have been lied to twice by sellers
on the bay, but those situations were different.

ROFL! You read almost nothing but found it worth posting here about!

You don't live in the Bay Area, do you?

Boycott Google for their support of communist censorship and repression!

IN FACT, ANY seller is allowed to change shipping cost if they wish,
so this seller has LIED already!

You are easily amused.

You are also rude.

But that comes as no surprise to anyone who's read your other similarly
toned posts to others on a wide range of subjects.

Dave

Actually, Dave's right on. You're not helping the s/n-ratio here.

Actually, in case you weren't aware, is, indeed,
BAD.

I don't agree. Headers show different ISP, different OS, different browser.
Text shows different writing style. Why do you think it's the same guy?

Now this is the most extreme hyperbole... how would be enforce it? By
refusing to sell it to you. That's how. Give you bad feedback if he's
the mean-hearted type.

I suppose it's just coincidence that david at invalid showed up right
after BAD finally disappeared after a round of nymshifting and
generally ****ting all over the wreck, and that david at invalid just
happens to have had an identical experience with delta and powermatic
bandsaws as BAD and can't pass up an opportunity to tell it, and that
they both live in santa rosa, or wherever it is, and that david at
invalid has a similar short memory and tendency to slip off into
personal attacks....

really, the similarities are too obvious to miss. I think BAD got back
on his meds and got a new computer. david at invalid is a tolerably
good netizen- certainly light years ahead of BAD. I'm willing to take
david at invalid on his own merits, help him with whatever technical
issues I might be able to help him with, appreciate what help he can
give others and so on. and when BAD starts bubbling to the surface I
think it is totally appropriate to warm up the 'ol klown hammuh.

What the page says is that shipping is $5.00. The seller would not
have a hope in hell of 'enforcing' a $500 shipping charge when he
clearly states the corrected shipping charge on the page.

I suppose it's just coincidence that david at invalid showed up right
after BAD finally disappeared after a round of nymshifting and

showed up, as near as I can tell, on or about Sept. 20,
2004. The last post I could find by BAD was in June of the same year. So...
"after," yes, but "right after," no.

and that david at invalid just
happens to have had an identical experience with delta and powermatic
bandsaws as BAD and can't pass up an opportunity to tell it, and that

San Jose. But it's a big place, and I'm sure it has a lot of guys named Dave.

I hadn't noticed david at invalid engaging in personal attacks.

Main reason I think it's not the same guy is that david at invalid has not
jumped into this thread to tell me how stupid I am. :-)
