I [don't] hate E-Bay (was Cromemco 68000 on ebay)

I haven't been able to find a seller that accepts money orders for probably 1-2 years! there's the odd one, but it's incredibly difficult to find. I wouldn't use paypal if my life depended on it (ok, maybe then), after all www.paypalsucks.com I've been burned on ebay many times, negative feedback does absolutely squat. even a seller getting convicted of wire-fraud, all ebay did was remove the negative feedback. oooh, that helps... not. most things on fleabay are over priced, and not just a little bit. so i find alternative sources, whenever possible. many many of us dont have credit cards, so it makes life difficult. and please don't talk to me about how "Easy" it is to get one. no thanks. I've been with ebay since almost the day it started, I avoid it like the plague, unless there's a special item I need. positive feedback and ratings don't help much. you just gotta hope it works out. I've also found most sellers have lousy communications. did you get the money order? any problems? did you ship it yet? whats the tracking #? most of these never get answered. the best communications I got was a seller that emailed me 2 weeks after I got the item asking if I received it. duhh, moron, if you had seen my emails you'd know. hello... get a clue in the end I can't bid on more than 99% of the items I want, because they're all "paypal ONLY" which majorly sucks. dion't have paypal, not gonna get it. ever. (well maybe if ebay didnt OWN paypal). and theres always the endless problems with "fakes", yeah, it's what you said it was, but it's not really that item, its a poorly disguised fake. oh, but it is what it says it was, so ebay complaints are useless. the #1 issue, "paypal only", #2 issue - items are rediculously overpriced, #3 lack of communications, #4 - lack of sellers with a clue btw read paypalsucks for some real horror stories. PS - dont ever bid before about 30 seconds of the auction end, you're just driving up the price unncessarily _________________________________________________________________ Reunite with the people closest to you, chat face to face with Messenger. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9650736
