>From the point of view of someone who has delt with many people on eBay and
has sold quite a number of items on eBay I've found that a fairly large
number of the people that troll eBay for computer equipment are idiots. They
don't read the auction's notes fully, they are surprised when they get a
handling charge, or some other charge even though it's listed right on the
auction, they ask redundant questions that can usually be answered by
reading the ad fully. I can imagine the frustration that the person that
deals with eBay questions and answers goes through on a daily basis for that
company. I would hate to be in his/her position.
A large number of the complaints I've noticed are people that ordered just
before, or right after Christmas and expected they're orders to be shipped
instantly, which is a very naive thing to think. I would also say in
supersellers defense that the large majority of they're orders were
positive, and most of the negative ones filed negative feedback too quickly.
I personally like his snotty responses to people that are obviously not in
they're right mind when they post negative feedback. I would never do this,
but I frequently would like to.

Okfine, bad situation. However the follow up to the negative feedback
was
deplorable. Most of those who posted neutral and negative had a
legitimate
gripe. His snotty replies are un-called for. He should have bit the
bullet
and either told the truth, relied to the concerns of his customers in a
timely fashion or just taken the feedback like a man.

There are a lot of bad sellers on ebay. Most of them are just
incompetent, not necessarily rip-offs. I had one ship my hard
earned tape drive to someone 1,000 miles away. At least they
gave me a refund - after three months! And don't get me started
on UPS!
