Hi Laura....

    Hey..... 

    I thank you for the heads up.... 

    Please send me the ID, so I know not to bother... 

    Out of hundreds of transactions on the Bay..... Only one has been
    bad..... The seller was so retarded....that I didn't really know what
    to do.... And it was $5.....(plus ship).... 

    The "diamonds" part of the Bay has been so full of *B-S*.....for so
    long... 

    No diamond, syn or otherwise, will ever sell for 50 cents...even if
    it's *tiny*... 

    Do not compromise your work..... 

    Many Ebay members have been fighting this....there's been and
    ongoing thing over at J,G & W....by a number of folks....(even me for
    a while)....for *years*.... And some things have been accomplished.... 

    In all fairness to the Bay..there's really no way to knock these
    scumbags down.... 

    Other than if you've been hit, to fight them..... 

    His Ins policy smacks of fee avoidance....that means Ebay makes less
    money on a transaction.... That does upset them.....<G>.... 

    That's about the only way to get dirtbags like this outfit shut
    down... 

    Yer gonna get a neg hit... 

    The Red Badge of Courage...... 

    BTW....A lot of folks on the boards say it's best to have at least
    two ID's.... 

    One to buy....the other to sell... 

    That way...when your buy ID gets negged, the seller ID doesn't
    suffer... 

    If you have the two ID's... 

    Hell....I only buy on the Bay...... That's hairy enough as it is.... 

    Please believe me....diamond, synthetic or otherwise, *never* sells
    for .50 ea...... 

    Neg that sucker, for every item on that transaction.... 

    I mean....what right has this scumbag to screw with you....? 

    *NEVER*

BTW...send me this dirtbag Ebay addy...and I'll have some fun asking him
questions...
