So, why are you posting objections to those of us on eBay and Paypal
who have earned a credible history of performance over the years. We
who use eBay have no knowledge of who you are (because you have no
feedback history), so you could equally be a nice guy or a scam artist.
If you don't want, or don't have an eBay history, and are selling items
on the Internet, chances are that you are some type of scam artist, and
put-down those that would otherwise (based on their established history
of good dealings) pose a competition for you.

I am not COMPETING with anyone for sales. I don't care if the parts
I have ever sell. When I die whatever is left will be going to the local
landfill, rather than let them go to someone who will sell them on
E-bay. I don't buy on E-bay because I have more projects and parts
left, that time to finish the projects and use up the parts. Also,
almost all of my spare money is going into a non profit corporation to
help local disabled veterans. I collect and repair old computers for
vets who are too poor to buy a computer. I would rather do this than
put up with the **** I get from hams these days. Why subject myself to
it when I can work when I am well enough, then call the "Vets helping
Vets" to tell them that another free computer system is ready for them
to give away? Do you do anything for your fellow humans?

On eBay, before sending any seller money, most of us will look up
his/her eBay history. This tells a lot of information, and trust. Not
having a history on eBay, were I to send you $3.50 for one of your
connectors, I would be taking a risk...but not a large risk since the
amount is only $3.50, Were you no a listed and registed seller on
eBay, I wouldn't send you anything...except in this test case...because
you have no established credibility. Same thing holds true, if you
don't have a certified address on Paypal, in which case I can send you
nothing.

You have evidenced a very loud mouth, and evidently decline my posted
challenge. So....please go away!

I have no objections to anyone who buys or sells on E-bay, or uses
Paypal. As far as a loud mouth? It is you who refuses to admit that
Switchcraft is a quality product. I am 100% disabled, after 40 years of
working in electronic repair, Broadcast and CATV engineering. I spent my
last four years working at Microdyne building $20,000 to $80,000
telemetry receivers and systems. I really don't care what you think.
