anyone dealt with irish11965 on ebay

[DanP]

Hearing this stuff makes me sick...

Is there any way we have one spot on N54 with a list of all of the ID's of these idiots so we can go to one place and find them?

I would assume we would all want to restrict them from bidding on our items on ebay.

I guess I'd have to talk to Leon.

In addition to listing the id, we would need to include an explanation. We can then all vote for the idiot of the month.

Guys, I proposed something similar to this last fall, and after feedback from a lot of forum members, it was pretty much decided it wouldn't work. You can read about the discussion here if you like:

Dave, I'm very sorry this happened to you. While the majority of people on Ebay are top notch, there are some real bad people there, too, and when you encounter one of them, as a seller, you essentially have no rights. Ebay is going to almost always side with the buyer, even when they are clearly in the wrong. Ebay has been horribly mismanaged. I could see them going the way of Blockbuster before too long. They've become too big for their britches, and too greedy. They're not long for this world.

Has anyone asked Leon about it?

Not directly, though Leon posted his thoughts about the idea within the thread.

I think the members of Net 54, collectively, are about as intelligent and well-educated as you will find on any forum on the Net (Mensa.com, or whatever their site is, not included ). More than half of the people that voted were against the idea, and ultimately, I came to agree with the arguments that were made against the idea. Ultimately, when buying something, be it a new car, a home, or a $500 Nap Lajoie card, it's up to the consumer to educate themselves about who they will be doing business with. Any member of Ebay will have a public record on their transactional history. Unfortunately, when it comes to buyers, the feedback score is useless: you need to delve a little more deeply. But the information is there. If there's a really problematic buyer or seller, that person's actions are going to be brought to light here. It doesn't matter if they're ripping others off on Ebay, or some other site. This site does a pretty good job of policing. And it only takes a few seconds to search our site, or Google, with the person's member ID, to see if anything pops up.

When all is said and done, I think the possible negatives outweighed the positives. In theory, the idea was a good one, and it was certainly postulated with the best interest of Net 54 and her members at heart. But it would cause a lot of extra work for the mods. It could cause some misunderstandings, and possible legal ramifications.

With a $75 billion market cap somehow I think not.

I, disappointingly, have to agree.
