I had people pulling my personal info now and then on eBay. I'd
WELCOME sellers OR buyers to do so to get 1.) the address correct, and
2.) know who they're dealing with. What's the big deal? I think
there's a preconscious tendency for eBay sellers, mostly, who are
borderline slicks and who try to bend the rules to their advantage
from time to time, to be a little paranoid about their "personal
info"...and for good reason. They don't want to get caught or suffer
retribution, like a certain fraudster now haunting his NG is currently
suffering.

And what is wrong for bidding on an auction that doesn't accept paypal? <snip>

NOTHING. I preferred cutting PayPutz out of the action entirely. All
it does is feed laziness in buyers AND sellers and provides more
profit to sleazeBay.

Rita, stop believing your own rhetoric and bull***, causte not
everything in this world revolves around paypal. I like the service,
but its not the greatest thing since sliced bread either. <snip>

It has its ups and downs, is notorious for shoddy customer service, is
a phishing magnet and is costly. Send 'em a personal check or
MO...DONE!

If the item is hte only thing that is available on ebay at the time he
bid for the right price, why should a "no paypal" accepted or offered
auction stop him from bidding on it. <snip>

Due to laziness of buyers, sometimes your best deal just may be the
"no PayPal" auction. I've saved hundreds just by doing that, and then
picking up a MO when I go to the credit union for free.

And how is *YOU* acting like a child and screwing with this seller part of
the deal? You instigated this mess and threaten the dumb *** with a
neg. I would have cheerfully taken the neg. <snip>

She's also suffering from "eBay selleritis."

The seller is making the whole expereicen a negative one, Rita, or are
you failing to see that:? Yes, you are. The seller reacted in the worst
way, since he should not have been surprised if the person WINNING one
of his auctions (or has won) requested his information. I like to pay
asap, and if I dotn get the information Ineed quickly, then I request
for that information from the place that the person registered it
with, Ebay.

But what if he didn't hear fro the seller for a full three days? seven
days/ Why should Dhakala be inconvenienced and WAIT when he could have
that info with a click of a button and 30 seconds later? Again, the
SELLER overreated, since he agreed to Ebay's Terms that his registered
information can be gotten by other members who win his auctions. <snip>

Case closed. Loser: Rita.
