Lunar dust viagra fail - And eBay would allow the idiotic negative
feedback to stay.

During my last eBay run, I sold a meteorite on to some nutjob who
tried to scam me. They filed a PP dispute on the very same day the
package was delivered. They tried to claim it never arrived. I had
documentation on my side, including the ship/delivery confirmation. I
also had several horrible messages they had sent me via the eBay
messaging system - these messages made the person look like a raving
lunatic. I forwarded everything to eBay and won the dispute case.
However, the clown left me a negative feedback and I got tired of
jumping through hoops to have it removed - it stayed and is still
there. The only negative I had received in almost 15 years on eBay
and thousands of transactions without issues.

I find that eBay is filled with nutjobs like that. The very last time
I sold anything on eBay, a buyer claimed he didn't realize how small a
micromount was. Well, the item was accurately described and clearly
shown in a good photo. There was also a scale cube for size
comparison and I explained the size of the scale cube. Ignorant buyer
who was too lazy to do some homework before buying - although
displeased, at least they didn't leave a negative feedback.

A couple of weeks ago, I briefly bandied around the idea of listing
some Chelyabinsk micros on eBay and actually put up a listing.
Moments later, I thought better of it and pulled it down.

That was the last straw. I haven't sold anything on eBay since and
never will again. I'd set a specimen on fire before offering it on
eBay. Until eBay changes their buyer-centric rules and reduces their
fees (which will never happen), I will never sell anything there. On
the other hand, I still buy stuff from eBay sellers - mostly because
those particular sellers have no presence outside of eBay and I have
no choice.

Best regards,

MikeG
