  • "If you actually use ebid and are better informed, then you are more likely to draw on your own experience with ebid and see that rather than having an ignore the customer and deciding on the bias of buyer or seller, as ebay do, ebid have a human looking into it, and they will try to consider what is best for both parties without trying to destroy either unless it has been a blatant scammer then they will just shut them down completely".

    yup i agree Martin they looked into it personaly in effect both parties were given a clean sheet as they were both new members, your right about blatant scammers they are shut down and deleted

    And I care because..... And therein lies the difference because you cannot admit you were wrong, whether you care is something between you and your conscience.

    The point was that you and your friends are not doing this site any favors, as people are not just deciding on ebay or ebid in this post, which I still think is a pointless argument, as they really have no choice, as ebay no longer want them. No, you are very much mistaken. This site is about saving people money. By countering the "ebid forever" posts with a dispassionate analysis of what's happened and what the ebid defenders claims, those who have yet to make up their mind can do so easily. It is just this kind of help that has made this site so wonderful and powerful. If you stick around you can see how Tesco handle similar mis-price problems, or reduce your fuel bills, all based on other consumers advice.

    They are also looking to see if they should dare to post on this site.
    What happens if you and your friends do not like the subject that they wish to post, or the comment they wish to add to a topic.If you are that sensitive I suggest you do not enter the Moneysavers Inn or Discussion time. And if you don't like people disagreeing with you then you've chosen the wrong hobby.

    look at something objectively if you can, and see how this is going to look to some poor soul that is wondering if they should post on this site. This has been just as bad as posting on the ebay boards.And people who want help will always be welcome, there are a complete spectrum of views across the boards. What isn't helpful is people incapable of accepting that their view is the only view that counts and can't read or count, but even then people will help them if they are polite, have a look at the debt free wannabe board.

    All I know is that looking back over thread and the way you acted, and if I had the option to go back to when i posted my first post, I know fine well there is no way in hell I would have clicked that button. Who needs that much abuse, when there are other places without the problem regulars that you can discuss things without all the agenda.To be frank, I've seen very few MSE "regulars" on this board, some people have over 50,000 posts, this subject is obviously not interesting to them

    One of those from ebid actually deleted their post, and has probably deleted their membership for all I know, I think that was probably after one of your fine upstanding members started threatening to attack ebid sellers accounts.
    You might be right, or you might be wrong, you are entitled to your opinion, and we are free to delete posts but they remain visible to the abuse team

    You look at the way you all acted on this thread and ask yourself, if you were new to this site, would you risk it, or use another site?If I was new to the site I would look at the arguments put forward, the evidence to support the respective sides and make my own decision. I do know that people who ask for help get it, those that ask for an opinion get it, and those that ask for trouble invariably get it too

    Genuinely, though, stay around, look around the rest of the site, not just this sub-forum or thread and see how you can save yourself money too. What's the one thing you think you spend too much money on?

    dont think its got anything to do with me having privilaged information

    if two parties use a arbiter then the arbiter gathers all the information from both parties the arbiter uses this information plus in this case any AAL entrys to make there judgement just like any appeal system on any auction site.


    If you don't have any information why do you keep posting your opinion as fact??

    Conspiracies...agendas!! Do you believe in leprechauns and UFO's?!

    OK, its time I came clean - you've rumbled me!!

    The truth is, me and my ebay chums have been hiding out for decades since assassinating JFK and kidnapping Elvis. We got tired of laying low so a year ago appeared to scotchbidder in his sleep and tried to take over control of ebid and its mystical powers. Well he saw right through us so ever since we have been attempting to topple the magical kingdom through the evil power of Forum.

    There it is, you made me say it, I hope you're happy - now pass me the confession to sign.

    If it hadn't been for those pesky meddling kids...!


    you were rumbled by yourself

    by your own addmission you dont use ebid, last night you said its unlikely you ever will, yet you draw comparasions based on heresay certainly not of your own experiance, so your posts witch are biased and unfounded have no logical reasoning your only posting as has been stated for a hidden agenda or your just killing time to wind people up at the very least your abusing this sites forum with hersay,misinformation. most of the posters on this thread dont even have a ebid account as was proved last night as few if any could acsess the information on ebid i said was there, so again from non users with no experience only heresay to base unfounded attacks,

    but you havent been joking have you until two posts ago you were still pursuing your agenda when proved you have no experience with ebid again by your own addmission you now turn to indenedo and insults Martin is correct in saying that your all using ebay forum tactics you do not have the ability to reason in any debate by resoting to insults you prove my point
