A record of historic bad sellers who met justice when the era of feedback intimidation ended, 20 May 2008.
frogswamp was a self-proclaimed ebay employee who was running either a drop ship or an order&forward operation, selling movies and music. Either way, inventory control was lax, and frogswamp was chronically non-performing.

bargainland was your basic crud seller. Not an out and out crook, but a seller who sold stuff carelessly and would not fix things when it went wrong. Basically believed that a low price should cover the chance that the stuff wouldn't work at all. Classically advised in the listing that buyers who expected good service should buy from a seller with higher prices. bargainland left voluntarily once ebay put in DSRs, which he knew was going to doom him.
Here's a summary of the final six months:
TRUNCATED: Time limit
5395 Negative
6768 Neutral
164 Withdrawn (0 removed by eBay)
12327 Total

cellz4less was selling returned cell phones. He was careless in inventory control, and obviously didn't test anything. Just shipped it out and picked up the pieces. Lots were broken. A massive abuser of mutual withdrawal, he would return neg for neg, and then do withdrawal.
1 year summary:
TRUNCATED: Time limit
308 Negative
349 Neutral
1655 Withdrawn (1 removed by eBay)

ReplyDeleteWhere is the record of historic good sellers who met demise when the era of feedback intimidation was passed to just buyers buyers, 20 May 2008?
The intimidation never ended and, sorry, but yours is one very narrow minded, one sided, half truthed view.
