Following is a copy of the end of an ebay sellers about me page pulled from an auction I was looking at. There is no way to tell who this seller is so I think it is okay to post - right?
Anyway, these are the last paragraphs listed on her me page. She has noted that she is quitting ebay as they are like big brother. She has feedback well into the hundreds so has been selling for awhile.
What do you think?

Deadbeats
These are people who did not complete their transactions with me (bidders who never paid and sellers I never received items from after my money was taken). I reserve the right to cancel any bids from these people on my items. I will not bid on anything being sold by any of them.
Although I had these lists on my About Me page for 8 months without problems, Safe Harbor has suddenly decided that they violate Terms of Service. However, I was told I can have them on my own server(s).
Contact me to see my lists privately (NOT on any online public area). Maybe they'll help give you an idea of who not to deal with.
Scary Sellers

May possibly sell things like "FRENCH FAIRY PATTERN", which happens to be Simplicity pattern #8750.
Beware! Even sellers with high feedback ratings can be devious and mentally unstable. Contact me privately (NOT on any online public area) to find out how one seller harassed me for weeks after I revealed to her bidders that the "rare" sewing patterns they were paying exorbitant amounts for were actually common (and cheap) ones made by Simplicity ($0.99 at JoAnne's Fabric stores). She even went so far as to call my work and demand to speak to our lawyers! Wild. What I do in my spare time is my own business.
How many accounts can one person have?
Another case of a wolf in sheep's clothing. Not only did this seller have high feedback, but she also had a secret eBay account (supposedly a male friend's) that she was using to boost the final bids on her auctions. I wouldn't have researched her activities if she hadn't filed me as a Non-Paying Bidder after cashing my check! After her accounts were suspended, she tried to get away with making a few new accounts. Contact me for the full story privately (NOT on any online public area).

I know that person! She's bought a couple of things from me -- she's very reliable. And I think her page is a hoot!

She may be correct - but contacting another seller's bidders and knocking his merchandise is going too far. If you don't draw a line for minding your own business you will suffer
retribution no matter how right you are.

Tell me that this seller isn't really admitting to auction interference on her ME page.

I'm thinking about posting a ME page like that airing my grievances with the eBay SafeHarbor program which allows fraud to go unchecked.
