Card selling scenerio- Big lie or not

Unless I know the "Storyteller" personally, stories have no impact on my buying or selling decisions.

I also find it interesting that someone 'has' to sell something because they need to buy medication or pay whatever emergency, yet the asking price is more than recent market price. Then its listed for months and months. I guess the medication or emergency isnt too urgent...

I agree and I think we see less of the "GLWS" going forward. Anyone quoting prices in other members BST threads will be dealt with quickly and swiftly. It is the sellers choice to leave pricing or not and other members shouldn't circumvent/deny that choice by quoting a price.

I'm Glad there is a decision, and not sure why it was ever up for debate.

The best "story" I got on Ebay back years ago turned out to be true.

Sold a few cards to the same guy for a couple dollars each. (Yeah, long enough ago that was a thing, covered fees by having a bit added on the shipping. )
A week goes by, no contact, nothing.
Send a gentle reminder to pay. People forget stuff, only about a 20$ sale total.
Get an email.......This is X girlfriend. He joined Ebay last week, on Friday, got drunk Friday night and bid on a LOT of stuff. And won most of it, he actually makes less in a couple months than he won and is freaking out a bit. Please have patience, we're going to try to get everything paid, but it'll take a while.
Oh, that's odd...So I check his items bid on list....

Well over 2000 items bid on almost all under $5. The total he owed was probably over $5000
So I told them to just pay whenever they could, figuring I'd never see anything.
Got a check about 2 weeks later

I may have been his only positive feedback.
