Was just listening to the radio and heard some songs I could compare to ebayers - and thought this might be a fun topic!
A Deadbeat: Oops, I did it again! (Britney Spears)
Bidder/Sniper: It's Gonna Be Me ('NSync)
When you NEG a deadbeat and they don't retaliate: Unanswered prayers (Garth Brooks)
A deadbeat who continues to bid: Shameless (Garth Brooks)
A seller who takes your money and doesn't ship your item: Walkaway Joe (Trisha Yearwood)
A buyer who doesn't respond to emails: Why haven't I heard from you? (Reba McIntyre)
Got any more?

LOL Eyeguy! Looks like you've been keeping up on one of my other threads....
Which, by the way - that thread reminds me of the song "You drive me crazy" by Britney Spears. And that's not crazy in a good way either!

Hi all. I usually just read Ebay Outlook for tips, but this is just too good to stay out of. Here's just a few that came to me a few minutes ago. Get the gong ready, okay?
When a nasty newbie with negative 3 feedback gets negged by you and gets naru'd before he can get even (recorded by Steam): Na na, na na na na, Hey hey hey, GOOD BYE!"
1990's deadbeat bidder's anthem (recorded by the Foo Fighters): "I don't owe you anything".
A naru'd newbie bidder's themesong (Billy Ray Cyrus): "Where'm I gonna bid when I get home?"
At the times when I think I can trust ebay reps to get a situation straight (by the Temptations): "It was just my imagination, running away with me".
When you cancel the bid of a bidder with negative feedback, but he bids again (by the Beatles): "I wanna break your hand".
When a guy bids but wants to pay 30 days late (Dionne Warwick): "Do you know the way to neg Jose?"
When you remember to neg a deadbeat who has bad feedback BEFORE filing for credit, and he gets Naru'd before he can retaliate (Sonny & Cher): "I got you, babe".
When a Russian bidder argues with you over your own auction terms regarding US only bidders (the Beatles): "Whacked in the USSR".
When a disgruntled naru'd bidder gets your contact info anyway (Stevie Wonder): "I just called to say, I owe you".
When you've had just about enough of the lame excuses and are about to file an NPB (recorded by Simply Red): "If you don't pay me by now".
And for those chronic deadbeat crybabies that email safeharbor and blame everyone from the seller, to their dog, to their repeatedly dead spouse (by BJ Thomas): "Bum raps keep fallin' on my head".
When some kid bids & claims it's his friends that bid using his computer (by Hank Williams Jr): "All my rowdy friends are Naru'd now".
Ok, ok! Hold down the applause. (You should've seen the song titles I *didn't* post!
This is a great thread, and helps lighten our daily ebay combat burdens a little bit. Thanks for the inspiration.

Let's explain the Feedback System
Sung to the tune of The Barney Song (I Love You, You Love Me)
POSITIVE FEEDBACK (Good transaction)
I praise you - you praise me
We both love eBay - ee
With a great big snipe
And cash from me to you
Won't you check my auctions, too?
NEUTRAL FEEDBACK (OK transaction)
Nothing for you - Nothing for me
That's the way it gotta be.
With a great big problem
Fixed by me and you
If you neg me - I'll do it, too!
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK (Bad transaction)
I neg you - you neg me
This auction was really sucky
With a great big bid
And no cash from me to you
Won't you email safeharbor too?
