That would be me.
You needn't fear mentioning me by name. Just because we disagree in a way that not only defies reconciliation but even a basic comprehension of the other's mindset, I'd not retaliate for being called 'self-aggrandizing' or for having my honest questions and observations dismissed as 'rhetorical'. If we disagree, I'll tell you where specifically, without resorting to meaningless name-calling. When it becomes apparent that we have both stated our arguments and neither is having any effect on the other's opinions, then the debate is over. The readers may then decide with which argument they most closely agree. ...Or they may find themselves at a 90-degree angle to both our opinions.
In any case, you are entitled to your opinions, beliefs and feelings on the whole gamut of topics, including your distaste for me. I would not have it otherwise.
Have a good one.
Respectfully,
zoid

this is ziggy direct...I'm sorry but i've been at this ebay thing before it was even called ebay and have 17 ebay accounts myself (ski house, work, office accounts, neighbors, etc.), and i do not think you even realize how these things can be accomplished with you not ever knowing... first of all some sellers set up 50-100 accounts (unless you sell, ebay never fact checks any info) and give themselves feedback between themselves and change the names so many times you would not ever notice...I once found a seller who's 11 ebay feedback deals were all items totaling a penny...they involved emailing a code so minimum costs are involved and trust me, if a seller pays ebay on time, it's almost impossible to get ebay to kick them out, that's the bottom dollar of it right there...here's another example, i found a guy selling computer memory from a buffalo motel but sold as being from 9 countries...ebay USA did nothing...i finally got ebay Australia to knock the guy off (when i get stiffed by a seller, i'm tenacious). Secondly these sellers sometimes use a legit personal ebay id to get bidders and contacts which they email outside of ebay... take boston this week alone, i found 9 auctions that were cancelled within 10 hours of opening...you would never know this since if a seller changes the auction title before cancelling the auction it does not show up on any search you could preform unless you knew the auction number. some sellers allow ebay to pull the auction once they get some email contacts so the public would not ever get access to that info (so the guy loses use of one little account, all his auctions are immediately not viewable by anyone else, etc.) There's other ways to do this on ebay that do not raise any flags to the inexperienced eye that i would not go into becuz they're super devious...i'm retired and spend a lot of time on ebay when ski season is over and I see things that it takes hours of emailing to even get eBay to understand sometimes. One scalper can sell up to 20 tix off of one cancelled ebay auction that you might never have even found in your research...sorry but it's the truth...zigman NYC
