    I found this on seller central. It's in response to a seller saying that their buyer is claiming INR.



    And this post seems to assume that the buyer is a "scammer".

    Actually that is my impression of the community boards as well, every buyer is a scammer . I don't actually share Crowqueens optimism about the advice on the community boards at all, there are some real shockers on there.

    I would however use the community boards, using a posting ID, if I had a really specific question to ask.

    There are some very sensible posters as well, and all INR threads that I scanned on there today had correct advice that sellers need to fulfill their responsibilities. Later on in the thread I took that quote from someone called that advice 'disgusting' or something similar.

    Shouldn't be selling on ebay then, should you? ;)
    Exclamation and question marks - ONE exclamation mark or question mark is sufficient to exclaim or ask about something. More than one just makes you look/sound like a prat.

    Yep, she's dinged my stars. 3* for item as described and 3* for P & P charges.

    How can she mark me down on item as described when she didn't get them ?

    Ebay customer services here I come (again)

    If it's the poster who is an admirer of a particular singer who died in the spring ;), her advice is not representative of the general thrust of posting over there. It's got a bit better since earlier on in the summer, but the number of sellers who haunt the buyers' board just to tease people with a problem (e.g. "OP is on my BBL" "mine too") is a bit worrying - the lack of active moderation of some of these people means if I had a buying problem I'd probably come here than post there.

    @CM - I agree with you in a way, but I doubt eBay CS would be interested, as they are not lows, and not on a positive feedback.
