Title: KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENT
Post by: wjp666 on March 07, 2006, 10:56:41 pm

i've been pondering how to establish seniority on this site for a while, and i think i've come up with a foolproof way.


EVERYBODY LIST YOUR 'EBAY' FEEDBACK SCORE AND SEE WHO'S GOT THE HIGHEST!...


i'll start - 205

ah, mate - you don't know what you're missing.

83 - and 100% positive!


But surely post counts is the very easy way to establish seniority, if such establishment is needed...

ah, but such a thing could be 'faked' by repeated abuse of the word association games... (or something... look, i'm grasping at straws here, ok?!)


forgot to add - 100%+ too.

P.S. Whichever system we used Lou would come out on top - her eBay feedback is even higher than her post count!

My ebay feedback is 109 and 100% positive. I only buy I don't sell.


When did you all join ebay? I joined 10 April 2001.

My ebay rating is a complex number 2zi where 2 is a coeficient, z is the modulus and i is the square root of -1.bounty hunter38784.3973958333

i'm afraid you lose points for the 99.7%.... so let me work that out. (clicking of calculator) - that gives you a score of 7. sorry, no winner.

sorry, but your lack of 100% positive feedback means you lose 14961 points, leaving you with 7. sorry!

i only ever leave negative feedback if theyve left me positive already. and what is it with americans either A. not understanding the exchange rate, or B. just refusing to pay? f**kers...

Title: KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENT
Post by: loulou on March 09, 2006, 12:53:05 am
I have never left anyone negative feedback unless they have left neg for me first. If anyone leaves me a neutral I leave them a negative. That's my cruel streak.

hehe. eviiiiiil...


with feedback that high, are you a pro trader on ebay? *(or just a compulsive buyer?)*

Title: KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENT
Post by: loulou on March 09, 2006, 01:01:55 am
Definitely a pro. I very rarely buy.

ah. you come across as the sort of person to make her own stuff (jewellery, soft furnishings... that kinda thing.)
Title: KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENT

You think I'm creative? No way. I only sell stuff I buy in.

I used to only buy on eBay but now I hardly ever do; I'm strictly a seller. 10p listing day today, yay!
Title: KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENT
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on March 09, 2006, 01:53:36 pm
How much does it actually cost to sell an item through ebay? There is a listing fee, presumably a fee for adding a picture. And do eBay take a percentage? I just can't see how you make any money from selling an item for a few quid.
Title: KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENT
Post by: smurfboy on March 09, 2006, 02:07:26 pm
The listing fee varies according to your starting price, as does the final value fee. The first picture is free but you're charged a fee to use the gallery. The trick is to bump up your postage charges - eBay don't take anything from that.

I know many people who make a full weeks wage from selling on ebay. Get it in cheap and sell it high.
