Many people don't even have a credit card! I don't think that makes
them anything less than responsible.

It really is your business as to what you sell your items for. Obviously, most people are going to buy from whoever has the cheapest prices

I agree with that completely.



Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on where you're looking in from, I happen to be one of those people. LOL. I would knowingly choose to buy from someone with a higher price tag if for no other reason than for better peace of mind. I do understand, however, that nothing is ever guaranteed. This is especially the case with lower priced or smaller merchandise. I'm not going to compare car purchases with this as that involves a much larger sum for me. :p Even for daily grocery items, I opt to purchase from those "trendy" markets when I know I can very well shop for the exact same item from a larger box store supermarket, however, I like walking through cleaner and less crowded places better. :p I know I may very well be paying, say, a dollar more per pound for something I could have gotten elsewhere for less. :) And I understand daily groceries can add up. This also does not mean I won't patronize places like Costco when I need items in bulk.

With online purchases, I would not buy from "money orders only" sellers, but that's just me and I don't think any seller is any less reliable because of that. However, threads like these do help me to decide whether or not I will ever consider buying from a particular seller. It's not the posts made by onlookers that sway me, but what I take out of the posts as facts in my eyes that help me form my own opinion which I would keep to myself as it only pertains to myself and my own decisions when I'm ready to purchase something. :)

I am very much thankful for the good and the bad experiences shared by buyers. I do not believe that a single review thread is wasted no matter which side it's coming from.

If you sell on ebay receiving funds from paypal has changed. The funds are held until the buyer leaves feedback or 21 days without a dispute. ....

Well ...why did u not just say all that in the begining
i did not think there was malice intent in the situation.
The way it looked was u had no intent to refund the buyer.
but due to circumstances out of anyones control, there were delays.
Just say that and it is over...same with those critical of the pricing
that was a clear out and then prices will resume at the normal price.
that way situations are clear and there are no more comments to be made on the matters....:thumbup:

I hope not because I have made a lot of purchases on ebay. I sold some things there, but there are other places to sell that don't cost the seller as much.
