What about you, you set up the sale on ebay, then try to cheat ebay out of their fees. Then you have the nerve to say to other guy is a crook. Sounds to me like what goes around comes around.

No, my friend, we DO NOT all do it.
If you list with eBay then follow the rules...

Iam just warning other buyers/sellers that this guy didnt follow through and costed me a large sum of money that is it. The ebay thing i bet alot of collectors would rather settle outside of ebay without losing 30%or more of their sale specifically beetle moths butterflies of the rare and very very expensive nature .I take back that all of us do comment .

Ebay is very expensive (13% fees if you add ebay fees+paypal fees). But it helps you find many new consumers.

I'm afraid I've got to agree with downundermoths.
Imagine it from the collectors point of view - you're waiting for the auction to end, then the seller cancels it because he's found a better deal outside of Ebay. If you'd like to give me your ebay ID, I'll happily let Ebay know you consider yourself above their rules. Its people like you that get all insect traders a bad name.
If you dont like the fees, dont sell on Ebay. Clark has set up a very nice, free, auction facility on this very site.

BTW dynastes....you're not exactly advertising yourself as an honest trader by admitting you're willing to cheat to get more income for yourself.... Bless you for posting it in the insect trading reports as well, so we are all well warned  ))))) |
