Hello Stan and list, The IMCA consists of a pretty good group of people and
the IMCA's intentions are great! A lot of problems on ebay would be solved
if all of the honest sellers would just join the group! If just about every
seller was a member and stated the IMCA's intentions on there auctions,
buyers could soon see, that the IMCA members are the ones to buy from and
would stay clear of the others. Great sellers like Mike Farmer not being a
member (or at least not mentioning on his auctions) make things tough on
those new buyers, well he's a great seller (from feedback) and he is not a
member so I guess this seller glassface1 must be ok to! Mike, please join!
: ) and all you other non members. If you do not like the IMCA, then maybe
it is time to start a second group?
Thanks, Tom
