There's a better way to handle that situation - for "unmatched"
feedbacks - make the one-sided feedback visible after 90 days - then all
can see it - PLUS it's too late for retaliatory feedback...

That is better! Now if we could just get ebay to implement the change...

I've always found ebay to be very responsive to the demands of its
users. I dont necessarily agree with Randy's solution but there are
people smarter than me making these decisions.
The crapola about it going to hell in a handbag from a clown that has
used ebay two times several years ago is unfounded.
ebay is well obliged to a zillion member user base. Old timey hardware
store methodology is passé.
I don't know how that translates to the credit card of a brother-in-law
of a girlfriend that was used by OP wound up getting
hacked...whatever. You call the 800 number of the card and thats the
end of that. Its 2004.
As much as one should recognize the threats of online purchasing one
should also understand/learn the remedies if a deal goes bad.

I returned the NC-270 ("mint, I can find nothing to fault on this
receiver")two weeks ago. It cost me $35.50 to have it sent to me, but
only $11.91 to return it, insured, to Martyn. I waited a week after UPS
tracking said it was delivered, asked, and was told "I've been too busy
to open it. I'll get it tomorrow." I waited another week, then filed a
complaint with PayPal. I was told, "This will only delay your credit.
Withdraw your complaint and I'll credit you right away." I left it with
PayPal. Then I left Negative Feedback on Ebay. I think my negative was
honest and restrained, "Equipment was over-represented, not Mint."

In reply I was called a liar. He stated that he had given me credit(he
hasn't yet), and, oh my God, placed me on his "blocked bidders" list!
That was the biggest blow, since I have learned nothing and want to
throw more money down the rat hole!

I can't imagine why anyone would deal with radio-martfraud.

Hi, Gang

I've been following the Radio-Mart saga with interest.

One of my early eBay purchases was a "mint" Turner ceramic hand mic
from a "MartynA". It arrived with a filed notch in the PTT button,
so the CBer or whoever could keep talking without the +effort+
of holding the PTT switch closed. I wonder if it was the same seller.

I was admiring that National awhile back -- glad I passed it up.

Ya gotta give Radio Mart credit, the guy takes good pictures; kinda
like the used car dealers who shine their cars up so they look good
under the lights at night. The red velvet doesn't hurt either.
