SG52 - Sorry can't answer that question as it pertains to me. If I recall correctly you know why.
But in general a person shouldn't get a new account everytime they go shopping. But speaking from my own personal thoughts on the subject. I know of some situations where it would have to be done.

I think there is a way to use escrow to protect yourself in this matter. When the transaction is completed to everyone's satisfaction, then escrow will pay and deliver.

It's doubtful the buyer would "Know about this board" they are obviously way too busy shopping!
To the poster that replied I should use an escrow service:
The buyer paid by Billpoint after the auction ended.Also surprisingly the buyer has not email me at all with the usual questions:
1-Didja get my money from Billpoint ?
2-When will this ship ?
3-Since I paid,can you please post feedback.
No corrospondance from the buyer at all...
They are still bidding up a storm.Over $8,000 since last night.
Safeharbor emailed back that I should wait till the Billpoint check comes thru on the 6th. Check ? Huh ? What check ?
The buyer used a credit card on Billpoint.
Still,that does not protect me from a chargeback or credit card dispute does it ?
I have received no response from Billpoint to
the emails I sent on 12/2.

Two things that you can do in the future to avoid this kind of situation.
1. Don't use the Billpoint Instant Purchase option.
2. If you aren't comfortable with the high bidder wanting to use Billpoint, tell them you are having trouble getting Billpoint to work & suggest they use BidPay.com to pay. Also offer to reduce the total so that they don't have to pay a fee from BidPay.
It might reduce your profits by a few $$, but you'll sleep much better knowing that a Western Union MO is on the way that cannot have a Stop Payment put on it.
It's my personal back up plan from here on in.

In my own experience someone going on a wild bidding spree means that they've either won the lottery or they are about to crash and burn. I had this happen with one fellow who was a compulsive bidder. He ended up with a tab of several thousand $$ and had some cock and bull story about a ruptured gas line causing his business to close down. He was bidding like there was no tomorrow, even after he was sending folks sob letters about the gas line. The fellow was a deadbeat, but somehow managed to bluff ebay, apparently. He had no telling how many sellers he'd failed to pay who filed FVF's, but somehow talked his way out of it. I'd hold back on sending anything until I was well sure that I'd be paid and not get a chargeback.

Hello Netowrker67,
You posted...
"Being a person who routinely drops 20 grand on ebay shopping sprees within short periods of time. I deal with sellers who have your exact same concerns."
Interesting that you would make such a post after talking in other threads about how eBay breaks its side of the agreement you say it reached with you when you were suspended.
And also maintaining that you had left eBay for good and so the injunction eBay sought against you to stop re-registering was a moot point.

Codasaurus - What has your post to me to do with the topic at hand in this thread? You mention something about ebay registrations, this topic isn't about ebay registrations. Can you please stick to the topic of the thread and use your knowledge to help this user address their problem.
Or is that too much to ask?

Networker67,
I don't ses anything inappropriate or off topic with asking you a question about a statement you made in this topic.
Do you think that you can make any kind of statement you desire and expect that folks will accept it without question?
If you think I am harrassing you then think again. I am merely trying to reconcile what appear to be diametrically opposing statements.
You posted in other topics that you were through with eBay and that you would never have any dealings with eBay again.
Now you post a statement that indicates that you are still buying on eBay.
All I want to know is which statement you made is closest to the truth.
I don't think that is too much to ask.

IMHO it has nothing t do with this thread. Or its topic, and since I view it as your harrassment and since I can prove and have proven on three occasions that ebay has broken the agreement. And there exist no proof or foundation that I have broken the agreement. You are on a fishing expedition and since its now deer season you my friend are out of season.
Now if you want to file an allegation with ebay that I have broken the agreement and if they want to listen to your banter well that's another issue. But since a false allegation is an expensive proposition for them. I suggest you gather your evidence from the www.ebay.com website and not the www.auctionwatch.com web site.
I mean seeing that nothing said in this thread would lead a person to assume I have broken anything. Unless of course they were fishing for something. You really need more excitement in your life. I really can't see how bugging me could possibly provide you with any. I thought your tinsmithing would give something to do with all that idle time you seem to have. I guess with your admitted slow sales you have a lot of idle time. Cheer up buddy maybe those cookie cutter sales will pick up in time for the holidays. Then maybe you could turn the cutters to mobiles or wind chimes.
In short apply your time to your life and I promise you. That maybe if you fully apply yourself you might be able to accomplish something with your life. Because trying to aggravate me isn't exactly what I would call productive. Especially seeing that you wouldn't know me from a hole in the wall in person. And I wouldn't know you from a hole in the wall in person.
In short and to conclude don't address me and I won't address you.

Networker67,
I'll address whomever I choose. If you think my questions to you are harrassment then feel free to make a complaint with the AW moderators.
You mentioned here that you go on shopping sprees on eBay, not me. You also posted here (in the past) that you were done with eBay and would never register again.
And as far as what you can prove about any settlement or agreement you have with eBay I look forward to you producing verifiable proof.
If asking you to simply provide verification for statements you have made in the past and continue to make is harrassment then I think we are all free to make any statements we wish and charge anyone who questions us with harrassment.
If you don't want to respond to me then just use the IGNORE feature that AW provides.

Wow still way off the topic of this thread. I guess that boredom you are obviously experiencing must really be getting to you.
Here's another suggestion for you.
Try selling those cookie cutters at the local flea market or Christmas fair.
Try potty training your new baby.
Try playing in your sandbox or is it the sandlot. We all know my personal name for it but no need in my creating any moderation issues.
If that doesn't give you any rewarding enjoyment. Try forwarding all of this wonderful proof of my internet activities to ebay and let's see what they think of your sleuthing. In fact I dare you to do it. I fact I triple dog dare you......Borrowed from my favorite Christmas time story Seems to fit here especially when I think of what happened to the kid who took the Triple Dog Dare.
Getting back to subject of the thread:
eyedo - Has your buyer contacted you as of yet.

Getting scatalogical are we?
That didn't work on eBay Q&A and it won't work here either. Heheh.
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will never hurt me.
You made your possible eBay activity part of this topic when you asserted that you go on 20K shopping spress.
My question to you is in my opinion entirely on topic. If you think it isn't then I invite you to ask a moderator to peruse this thread and render a decision.
So, networker67, do you continue to be active on eBay even after you insisted that you were done with it once and for all?

networker67,
I have deleted your last two posts because they addressed an individual, and did not concern the topic of this thread.
Please keep in mind that AuctionWatch has Community Guidelines which must be followed. This is not the appropriate place to air personal differences. Again, if you have issues with another poster, please take it to email.

Thanks Pat, that's one call that won't get a rebuttal out of me. And since eyedo has failed to update us on their plight I will take leave of this thread.

Update:
Though I had written to riskmanagement at Billpoint and safeharbor for a total of 4 times since the auction ended,no one has replied to me.Ironically when I wrote to
riskmanagement DAYS ago,I got a canned reply that I should send this email to riskmanagement...Duh! Almost like dealing with the maroons at Bank One...
The 6th should be the clearing date for the buyers credit card.
I then will *call* the person at the work number provided by ebay.Not sure exactly what I'll say,but just want to hear the voice of
someone who drops $30,000 in 14 days on ebay ?
So,here I sits...and site and sits n sits.
I'm not getting a warm fuzzy feeling about these online auction payment services.
I was screwed by X/Paypal/Pirate ship banking
and Billpoint does not answer my cries for help in any form.
I did use BidPay last night to pay for a $100 item and I think I might add them to my auctions.
