This is an "about me" page in order to avoid procedural headaches and time-wasters who try to screw up with eBay's rules because they don't have anything better to do. That said, I participate in eBay transactions as a buyer (99%), trying to find items that IknowIneed.
I usually message the selller(s) with a lot of questions in my first contact because I travel a lot and I have to know what shipping options are available and/or because most often the shipping calculators return false/ridiculous quotes.
Occasionally (1%), I might put something for sale because I don't need it anymore and/or it has somehow became incompatible with my workflow or (ever changing) computer set-ups. When I list something for sale:
It will come with honest, crystal-clear description and photos of the actual item (never stock/false photos),
I will do my best to find a shipping solution that suits the buyer best. I will never charge any shipping & handling fees. Buyer will only pay for actual shipping (and optional insurance) costs.
I welcome questions/discussions from potential buyers. I will only put for sale items I own (and these are quite specialized), so most people looking for them will probably know all about them. On the off chance that an interested eBay member likes to bid but has no sound understanding what he/she is bidding on, contacting me prior to bidding (and doing his/her own research) is essential. "Sorry for any inconvenience" is not my style. If you do not understand what you are bidding on or if you cannot afford it, do not bid.
I am:
a filmmaker on a hectic schedule: I won't waste your time, don't waste mine.
a nice guy who uses eBay occasionally to buy things he needs (see above ^).
an eBayer with 100% positive feedback who intends to keep it so.
someone who appreciates responsive and descriptive sellers.
someone who does not like monosyllabic sellers.
a no nonsense buyer
I am not:
a professional seller/trader on eBay: you won't find huge numbers of trading activity/feedback.
someone who spends his time trying to screw around with eBay's rules (see above ^).
Exceptional people, exemplary eBay sellers that I've had the pleasure to do business with:
