Good call. I buy and sell all the time on eBay and truely believe that feedback has an effect on bidding and the final bid price. I will only bid what the item is worth to me and only bid on items from sellers with good feedback, hense, my first question of this thread. I appreciate everyone sharing their experiences and I wish that they were not so one sided. Ebay has treated me right to this point. dylan ----- Original Message ----- Wrom: VZCMHVIBGDADRZFSQHYUCDDJBLVLMHA To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 2:43 PM Subject: Re: recycled german parts / eBay
