THE TEMPORARY REASON FOR MY FEEDBACK BEING PRIVATE April 21 2008

I recently entered into a purchase with a German seller who advertised (with photographs) a genuine WW1 pilot badge. I paid in cash as requested, PayPal not being accepted by him or her ( 'preussenelektra' being his or her name) but I was shipped a very poor quality common reproduction item, which was certainly not the item listed. I requested a refund only to be abused. I went through the dispute process with Ebay, who seem unable to get my money back or the real badge for me and at Ebay's suggestion I left negative feedback for the vendor. Since doing this, the vendor has also left negative feedback and a follow up to negative feedback using language I would rather was not visible to the eyes of decent people. I have in excess of 500 very positive feedbacks from buyers and sellers quite a few of which are repeat purchases. I have a total of TWO negatives, oner from this current lunatic and one from a very old transaction where an individual bid and never paid, but left negative feedback. I am working with Ebay on having this taint removed from my feedback and with the German police to deal with the fraud perpetrated by preussenelektra. preussenelektra shows a photo of a male in their profile, but all correspondance is singed 'Inge Waschkowski', a female name. They reside at

Ohlendorfweg 4

3151 Wunstdorf (near Hanover)

Germany

I leave it to the Ebay community whether or not they wish to judge ME or this vendor for my private feedback at this time. Thank you


ON PAYMENT

Despite the fact that Ebay no longer allows sellers to SOLICIT cash payment, I will accept US$ cash at your own risk, or from non-Canadian buyers, INTERNATIONAL money orders (US buyers, this means the PINK ones, not the domestic green ones), or from Canadian buyers a US$ money order, or anyone can pay using their major credit card through Paypal. HOWEVER, ANYONE USING PAYPAL MUST ADD 5% ON TOP of the winning auction cost and mail costs. This is to cover the fees PayPal assesses sellers to accept Paypal. If you cannot accept this, either do not bid, or be prepared to use International US$ money orders or your own cash (cash at your own risk). I DO NOT accept personal checks. Personal checks take far too long to clear and are far too complex to track. Thank you for your understanding. >

My Rules of Trade

So you know..........

A QUICK WORD ON WARRANTIES AND RETURNS vs TRUST

Most of the materials I sell are to support my wings collecting habit. Sometimes I sell spare wings I have, sometimes I sell them for others. I always do my very best to describe what I see in front of me and I do not knowingly ever sell fakes, unless I state that its a fake or questionable. When I am selling odds and ends to raise funds for my collecting habit, I will never sell anything that is not working when it leaves me, unless I am stating that it is unknown or not working. That is my promise as a reputable seller.

That said, I generally do not offer any warranty or returns on odds and ends or on wings. I am not a commercial operation. If I am selling something for someone else who wants to offer a warranty, I will state that. However, a warranty has a lifetime. My trading repuation is my warranty on the items which I sell for myself. I recently had someone ask me for a refund on something sold for a third party, two full years after the transaction. (Yes, REALLY!). That is the reason for adding this note. Obviously some people are not reasonable. I had always assumed that this individual (with whom I made several transactions)was an intelligent and sane person, but maybe I was wrong?

I LOVE fair traders and I have had a LOT. I EXPECT feedback. I expect to GIVE it and I expect to GET it, so if that helps you nervous nelly's who hang onto your buyer's feedback, great!

We all love to know both buyer and seller are happy at the end of the day. We all love to GET proper, fair feedback. We all like to be treated fairly. I will ALWAYS discuss things if I ever do get an unhappy buyer, (within REASONABLE time limits)so long as they respond to emails. LOOK at my feedback!!

I have in the past made an effort to give FEEDBACK when I received payment, BUT I have found that many Ebayers simply never give return feedback once they have received theirs.

So..........

I will ALWAYS give GREAT FEEDBACK to my fair traders, but honestly I cannot see why I should boost your points and credit if you cannot remember to reciprocate.

Its great to be part of something where people look out for others responsibly! So those of you who ARE responsible buyers will not mind if I give my glowing feedbacks AFTER I receive it, when you have received your item, fairly traded as always??

If anyone doesn't understand why I am taking this position for a while, please email me about it. I am happy to explain or discuss it.

We all depend on fairness in this medium, but even those of us who go a very long way to be fair get fed up, if mistreated. Think about it, before we all get too lazy to give anyone any more feedback except negative grouchy stuff.

THANKS galore to all my happy customers who have responded so positively to caring treatment! You are great! Happy Ebaying!

Who I am
I am a family man, an Architect/Contractor and Engineer, a Rotarian and business owner. I collect military pilot and observer wings and my activity on Ebay either concerns that or supports that.
