Thank you - I will. I just cannot understand - why would you sell a bag & not send it? Does she think she will get away with it? Very very weird. Definately neg feedback.

Opinions wanted. I guess this is as good a place as any to post this. I was looking at this listing for CL shoes on Ebay for a friend. She doesn't want used shoes. The photos in the listing almost seem to look a bit worn. I simply asked the seller for more pictures and explained why I was asking. Here's my message to her:
Her response back to me caught me a bit off guard. Maybe I'm not reading my message to her in the same way she is but I don't find anything in my question accusing her of lying. Am I nuts or is she just a nasty seller?? I'm tempted to respond but maybe it's better if I let it go. What do you think??
(also I was unsure of authorization on the shoes so I had posted in that thread and am still waiting on response so I hope for this seller's sake that they are not fake)
She sounds defiant already. I would not buy from her. If she had nothing to hide, she would simply send more pictures. I have done that before.
I find it interesting how some people react. I'm really not sure what it is about some folks on eBay, but they seem to think their word is good enough...Which, I'm sure if I knew them personally, it might make a difference and it might very well be good enough...but in this day and age of fakes, people who don't care of they rip others off, and a general disregard for property, it just doesn't fly, and especially not for prices that some of these people ask.
This is the note I got back from a seller today about a Louis Vuitton purse. Needless to say, the pics she posted are a.) super blurry, b.) not taken of the right components of the purse to verify fake/real (or anywhere near the right components), and c.) not enabled with a zoom function on her listing.
"Hi, These are the best photos I can get the bag is in exceptional condition and the interior is almost spotless. I could barely open the bag enough to see the serial number so there is no way to take a photo of the number. The bag is easily worth $200.00 and who ever wins the bag will not be disappointed. The only flaw is the on spot on the strap which can be seen in the photos.You can call if you would like to know more at XXX-XXX-XXXX Thanks, ___"
*sigh.

And I found it. She has a "charity" listing that doesn't follow ebay guidelines.
For a charity listing without GivingWorks, these are the guidelines (which she doesn't follow):
Charity listings without eBay Giving Works
Allowed
You can list items for charity without eBay Giving Works if:

I would say she super over-reacted and based on that response, the stubborn side of me would look for something to report her for.

Charity listings without eBay Giving Works

You can list items for charity without eBay Giving Works if:
- You're soliciting on behalf of recognized, tax-deductible charitable organizations (for example, 501(c)(3) or equivalent status with the IRS).
- You receive advance written consent from the charitable organization for the solicitationand include the following information in your listing:
- A readable photo or scanned image of the written consent. (This proof can't be a link to a website.) The letter must be on the charitys letterhead and signed by one of the organization's officers
- The charitys tax-deductibility status
- Your name or eBay user ID, dates of event or listings, and the donation amount (percentage of the final sale price) you'll be donating if your item sells
- A readable photo or scanned image of the written consent. (This proof can't be a link to a website.) The letter must be on the charitys letterhead and signed by one of the organization's officers
I'm glad I'm on YOUR side, BB!!
I think maybe this was meant for me? I thought they looked worn too, at least from the photos posted. That's all I was saying, and wanted better pictures for that and to make sure they weren't fake.
Oops, yeah she got busted that's why she got defensive with her charity crap!
Well since it's a slow morning here at work, I just went through and reported every single one of her auctions for charity violations. :giggles:
Good for you, I just noticed that she claims most of her stuff is new while it is obvious it is not. WTF???

So BTW, photoshopgrl, ... did the shoes get authenticated?
I must really be naive...$300+ for jeans? And the feedback about the iPad case is confusing - it's negative feedback for an item THAT PERSON VOLUNTARILY PURCHASED...because it sells for cheaper in the states?? Wow.
All that being said, I would be extremely wary of purchasing anything from them based on the feedback and responses to that feedback from the seller. Been Burned can provide deeper info, so I'd wait for her to come back to the thread.
Here's the seller you asked about (so others don't have to search the ID):
homme_trends_online - http://myworld.ebay.com/homme_trends_online
I am not familiar with the seller or the items the seller sells so my comments are totally based on what I'm seeing in the feedback.
Although toolhaus isn't showing that Ipad case feedback for some reason, that one feedback appears to be undeserved. But personally, I wouldn't buy from this seller.
The feedback that bothers me most (and is well-deserved) is something that most of us who have sold long enough will have happen. We list an item and goof on the price.
But an honorable seller will honor that winning bid price and sell it to the winner. In this case, homme_trends_online issued the buyer a refund for the $304 pants and relisted at $475 (although they are on a 1-day sale for $380):

Another feedback, Nov-28-11, refers to poor customer service. The buyer won a t-shirt for $228 and my guess is that the he wouldn't sell to the buyer because now it's listed for $285.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120793686274
Another feedback for not having the item in stock is something that can happen to anyone, but with a seller who refuses to sell too low, it makes me wonder if he just wanted more money for it.
Again, I have no clue on authenticity of the items and haven't done business iwth the seller, but some of his business practices aren't ethical.
