Paypal loophole which allows people to scam you

What the hell happened to the OP!?

For what it is worth, I actually agree with razorbladekisses, as I have experienced this as I'm sure many others have too. It's not about thanks really, just manners. I know it's not worth worrying about, but still there it is.

Thanks Moglex!!!! If we PM soolin (soolin for PM lol) or whoever is ebay board guide do you think she'll make it a sticky? She might have missed it before.

It shouldn't be about flames, BB, and I'm rather sorry that RBK is getting such a rough ride over this as she spends a lot of time helping others, but it's a matter of tradition and practicality.

Traditionally it is certainly not the case that every response to an OP gets thanked or acknowledged, so I don't think anyone can fathom why RBK has suddenly decided to highlight this one instance amongst many, many, thousands on this forum alone. I don't see how she can claim to have been specifically 'blanked' when what she experienced is actually the most common response to posts.

As to practicality, a lot of threads get many responses to the OP and I can't see it would work if each one were to be acknowledged.

Having said that, I know that it can be a little bit of a damper if you spend 20 mins carefully researching and typing in a reply only to have it apparantly ignored - particularly when it directly answers the posted question, but that is the way things are, I fear.

Worth a try.

Even if it doesn't warrant a sticky of its own, it might be an idea to have a thread with various "Follow this procedure" posts on it.

Ok, I PM'd her with the original link. Hope I did it justice and didn't just join a list of 1,000,000 people who already PM'd her lol
