Whither Boogiegail?

[Liber777]

I filed two complaints with eBay/PayPal.  I was hoping she would answer my emails and eBay messages to clear up the situation, but I can see she's left new feedback for buyers but has not addressed me at all.

I have purchased from and sold to this seller. I have never been burnt on an item, but sometimes took awhile to resolve. I guess you take your chances. Another annoyance of mine is people who buy items and do not leave feedback. This is why I stopped leaving feedback even if the buyer pays instantly till they leave me feedback. Blahhh :pissed:

Hmz, Im sorry that I did not see this posting earlier.

Bought a a4000 mobo from her on ebay 17. dec. And have yet to get any respons on this. I just hope I am one of the lucky once.

Sorry to see that so many have had bad luck with Boogiegail.

I have bought many items from her/him/whomever, and have never had any problem with the items or the delivery, or email contact.

I am wondering if something serious may have happened to this seller, rendering her/him/whomever unable to respond at all?

Feedback is a joke. Negative feedback gets negative in return. I've never left negative feedback even though I should have in about 10 cases because bad people don't feedback until you do because they want to negative you in return. I don't deserve negative so I just don't feedback in those cases.

Another reason feedback is a joke is most every transaction deserves a neutral feedback because not every transaction is "woohoo!! A++++++ GREAT EBAYER!!!!" most of the time (99%), it's "thanks, i bought this from you and you didn't cheat me", which is how things should work anyway, which is neutral. On ebay, neutral is as good as negative. You leave neutral, you get negative.

I agree that feedback is a joke for the very reasons stated above.  I do not agree though that most transactions are neutral.  If you buy something and pay immediatly, that is very positive.  Not neutral in any way.  If you wait 10 days to pay is that also the same neutral the immediate payer got?  The same is true with the seller.  If he ships right away and the item is as described or better that is very positive.  If that is neutral what is it when the seller waits a week or 10 days to ship?  It's not negitive because that still falls within accepted guidelines.  But it certainly is true that you don't dare leave negative feedback or you will get it in return.  But it also is true that some people wouldn't be happy if you hung them with a silk rope.  You can't make them happy and that is what makes many sellers wait to leave feedback until they have it first.  I do.  I will say this for Boogiegail, he/she leaves immediate positive feedback and doesn't wait to get it first.  That has to be taken into consideration as to why she gets as many negatives as she does.  If she waited, others wouldn't be so quick to leave it (even if deserved) and her rating would be higher.  And by the way, I still haven't received the $15 she owes me.      Dan

Well we have our money, and she has the motherboard we shipped out in her city (yes we do deliever confirmation.) I guess that is what was the main deal about eBay. Just sucks that you can't do Buy it Now, or different options until you get to have at least 10 feedbacks.d

I have bought several Amiga items from her/him and although she/he is a bit slow on shipping and maybe not the best at communicating the items I purchased always arrived and in good working order.

Best of luck.

Bollocks, she didn't leave any feedback during the 50 days she held onto my cash before shipping a CD-ROM, then did the revenge negative-feedback thing as soon as I pinged her for being completely hopeless.

I only got the item because I outed her in a forum here.

Negative feedback doesn't really bother me, as you can always reply with some details - even if only to acknowledge a legitimate gripe.  People take some comfort in that.

Not at all. She's left recent feedback for purchases.

And she's ignored every email and eBay message that I've sent her way thus far...
