Questions & Comments
Yes they should protect their users but can they , I mean maybe these people just open other accounts The best way may be when their under suspicion and posting 20 gold rings or many multiples of items just coming out new in stores should be enough to be suspicious Maybe they could not transfer anything until they bidder has stated they received it and as for shipping maybe they could find a way around that too Shame people just do anything to make money without a conscience , I was just looking at a 18 kt gold ring with real ruby (I think real) from A Hong Kong seller Shaking my head They put in their description " you must leave your address on The items comment page " We all know when Auction closes so does the comment page In other words the winner wouldn't follow their rules so maybe that's how they'll get away ? im confused Can people use their own rules as reason to not follow thru This one makes no sense thou its Free Shipping so how can the gain ? So confused right now , Ill be back Watching :)
Thank You All , --I Will Always treat You good and now I will stay --I Was just going to use up my points and leave but thanks to you all I have changed my mind -- Waynecotraveler so sorry that happened I Wish I could get their names but we can't do that here sadly I did notice someones posting new items that were only just coming out in stores online 10 of the same item ,one of every color charging 7 $shipping they are saying it will be 6 to 8 weeks to delivery and I thought "I wonder if their scamming just for the shipping fees They have pages n pages of stuff I Was hoping Listia had a way of protecting us till we said it arrived but your proof it happens So sorry it did, Watch out everyone it was a Hong Kong Address but it could be anyone get what they can then close their accounts That's a Federal offense here Up to 14 years jail for Fraud Nice to MEET YOU ALL , Glad to meet good people , The story above is only one of 4 and I haven't been here long lol. Keeping track of whos who might help , I Hope
There are still some good people in this world, glad to see you are 2 of them.I have run up against some pretty rotten ones since I joined Listia but I still keep hoping that most of them will get a wake -up call and do right. THIS is to all the people who have kept my ( AND OTHERS ) shipping money, even if they had to give the points back. waynecotraveler
P.S. Especially since the item was a "downloadable mini book" shipping wasn't a big question stopping them MY Family taught us if your paid for something you do not turn around and keep the item you were already paid for Sorry to be a bother but liked your comments so felt i wanted to reply Sorry again , i don't want to be a bother Time can be very valuable i understand
Well its very kind of you because as I learned the hard way unforeseen things can comes up I am usually watching and available when the Auction ends and send the shipping info right away but its not a perfect world so no one can guarantee they will always be home watching , I Am very surprised Listia went along with giving the seller my points and allowing them to choose NOT to send me the item As Well as the seller taking advantage of that "loophole" , Again I Like your style "TREAT THOSE AS YOU WISH TO BE TREATED" is an old time saying but it's meaning never grows old :)
Thank You I Agree , I didn't really want the refund but since they got the credits 808 there is no reason they couldn't fgo thru with sending it after all they got paid AND KEPT THE ITEM :(( Your right now I know how they operate There is a name for people like that that i won't use here starts with a th and ends in an f but opportunist is a kinder one even thou they mean the same thing in this situation , i was so discouraged i was going to close my account Sad since i haven't yet got myself set up even but with much to offer once i do Meeting you has given me a better outlook and that person doing me what i feel is VERY WRONG doesn't mean others will OR Your one of a kind Yes i am VERY Happy to have met you :)) Checking in i see there is still time to get my credits back on many Auctions ending soon and to make more credits in the mean time See you again soon :)
Well in that case WELCOME - bettylynnmcgowan , The name soopoorcansurvive wasn't chosen specifically meaning I am poor but as a show of what the sites possibly alterior motives or just coincidently helped A barter system but only in the "trade of goods way " not full blown bartering that involves trading goods n services without the use of cash changing hands plus an happy accident when typing it gave it the name it turned out to be that in my opinion fits (except for the poor part, thou it works to help poor it is great fun and trade offs for all income levels :) P.S. bettylynnmcgowan I too have troubles viewing my emails forgive me but did you click the link taking you to the page of interest //where you can read your messages ? Even there there is one message I have never been able to find to read GOOD LUCK -- I Hope it turns out better than mine I Never was able to find out a successful way to reach Listia that doesn't mean you won't thou I am a newbie so I may have overlooked someway I Hope that's all happened anyway That means ill learn So that's 3 of us here now all newbies or do I have that mixed up with ' 3 of us here are great members :) COOL !! Welcome from me also , I hope we all meet up again
within a fortnight ? WHY ? That's not what the rules for winners is I know I lost 808 credits by not giving my address quick enough A family member died and I missed it /too distracted They reminded me by telling me I lost my 808 and wasn't getting the item because I missed the 7 DAY DEADLINE !!! JUST SAYING Rules are rules , I even got a "negative feedback rating " imagine loosing 808 credits and getting nothing and STILL GOT A NEGATIVE RATING :( IF IT WERRE ME IDA MAILED IT OUT ANYWAY ESPECIALLY SINCE GETTING PAID FOR IT Gee My Daughters still crying and it was weeks Month now maybe Plus shes mad and sad and mad little girls r no fun breaks my heart IT Was a kids book but her favorite SO CAREFULL ABOUT BREAKING RULES Just saying , apparently its business , Don't worry about me ,not expecting anyone else will die however if a fortnight means one night your expecting a lot anything can happen it is " LIFE" after all crap happens
im new and just kind of watching, but I have put in a few bids. I guess I need to read all the rules. I have tons of stuff I could get rid of. im gonna get this figured out soon hopefully...
I Am still learning a lot of lessons and rules ,lol Mistakenly now I tied up my credits in Auctions that aren't ending soon Still they will finish before yours so ill be back as im sure I won't win all those I bid on , I Keep my word,never argue so you'll have no problems with me , Looking forward to more of your Auctions , I Prefer dealing with good people won't be long till I figure out whos who NICE TO MEET YOU !!! :)
Well your a better person than I lost my 808 credits too She got the credits AND Got to keep the " downloadable book " , I Don't understand why anyone would do that just because of a 7 day rule but the world is made up of many Sadly I came up against an opportunist who doesn't play nice ,
P.S. are these the same beads that are sold in the mesh type bags at the Wal mart & D olla ram a "broke up so wouldn't tag store names ( approx. 40 , about a cup full )and come in different colors ? Great for fish tanks Can cover the entire floor or scatter just a few around a treasure chest Look Fantastic
