O.K. HERE GOES,,,, HOW MANY OF YOU CAN COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOU SAID,,,,,,,,LOCAL PICK UP ONLY!!!!! WILL NOT SHIP! NO WAY! COME AND GET IT! DON'T BID UNLESS YOU WILL COME AND GET IT! AND LOW AND BEHOLD WHEN IT'S OVER,,,,,,,,YOUR IN CALIFORNIA AND THE "WINNER" IS IN,TEXAS,,,,,,OR IN ANOTHER COUNTRY!!!!!!
HERE IS MY SIMPLE SOLUTION. YOU KNOW YOUR FEED BACK PAGE. IT SAYS WHAT COUNTRY YOU SIGNED UP IN. OURS FOR THE MOST PART SAYS,,,,,,,UNITED STATES,,,,,,YES?
I AM GONNA IN PART SAY WHAT I JUST SENT TO E BAY TODAY. ALL THE ABOVE,,,,,,WILL NOT SHIP,,,,,,WHEN IT'S OVER YOU LOOK SEE THE BIDDER IS AND!!!! WINNER IS IN,,,,,,,,HE AIN'T EVEN WITHIN 1000 MILES OF YOU. HE SAW THE PICTURE READ ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND BID ON YOUR 300 POUND REFRIDGERATOR.
IS HE GONNA PAY,,,,,,HELL NO.......YOU WASTED YOUR TIME , ENERGY, MONEY, LISTING FEES, YOU GOT THE PICTURE. YEAH, I HAD TO DRAW THIS OUT TO MAKE MY POINT.
E BAY NEEDS TO PUT THE NEAREST "LARGE CITY" IN THE FEED BACK PAGE SO SELLERS CAN SEE RIGHT AWAY THE BIDDER IS READING NOTHING. HECK WITH CITIES HERE. NOTHING AGAINST ANYONE GOTTA GIVE AN EXAMPLE........ME, CALIFORNIA,,,,,,,,,CURRENT BIDDER,,,,,,,NEW YORK..........THE FIRST THING I WANNA DO IS KILL HIS BID.........YOU KNOW THEY READ NOTHING........WITH ONLY THE UNITED STATES AS A BENCH MARK IT REALLY IS RATHER DIFFICULT TO FIGURE WHERE THE BIDDER IS COMING FROM. GEOGRAPHICALLY! THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SAY.......I JUST DID.
WRITE THEM, I DID, I WANT CHCAGO, DENVER , LOS ANGELES, DETROIT, NEW YORK ETC. CLEARLY STATED ON THE BIDDER FEED BACK PAGE. THE WORLD IS MUCH SMALLER THANKS TO E BAY. ONE MANS OPINION.
SURE THERE ARE NO PARAGRAPHS, MY SPELLING IS LOUSY AND MY PUNCTUATION STINKS. WHO CARES. YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST SAID.
GET THE NAME OF THE BIGGEST CITY IN THERE SO WE KNOW WHERE THIS BUYER IS COMING FROM. UNITED STATES IS QUITE A HUGE COUNTRY AND GOD BLESS IT. BUT,,,,,,,,,WE WE NEED A SMALLER TARGET. THANKS.
ANY COMMENTS ARE APPRECIATED. MORE IMPORTANT,,,,,,,,TAKE THIS TO E BAYS ATTENTION,,,,,,[email protected]. IS WHERE I SENT MY REQUEST. THANK YOU.
HAHAHAH. EDITED TO AT LEAST BREAK IT UP. IT GAVE TOMWII A HEAD ACHE. HAHAHAHHA.

THANKS TOM, AND THAT IS FOR REAL.
AFTER I BID ON YOUR "WONT SHIP" AND RUN IT UP TO OH SAY,,,,,$500.00 AND YOU FIND OUT THAT I AM 3000 MILES FROM YOU. I'LL SAY DUH, I DIDN'T READ READ THAT. NICE PICTURES. SORRY DUDE.
WOW! WHAT'S THE FINAL VALUE FEES ON A 500.00 PURCHASE? NOW I GET TO GO THROUGH A TWENTY DAY CIRCUS OF FILING FOR MY NPB FEES BACK. I DO BELIEVE E BAY KEEPS SOME OF THE MONEY FOR THEIR TROUBLE. AM I RIGHT FOLKS?
NOW I GET TO RE LIST IT ALL OVER AGAIN. GREAT FUN SO FAR. NOW IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO QUICKLY DETERMINE YOU LIVE IN CHICAGO DURING THE BIDDING I COULD HAVE QUICKLY KILLED YOUR BID AND SENT YOU A VERY NICE E MAIL TELLING YOU TO "READ"!!!!!!!!!!!!%&*#$. AND OF COURSE BLOCKED YOU OUT!
NOW, YOU HAVE A HEADACHE. SORRY, I TOM, UNDERSTAND
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT. EVERY BIT HELPS.
I AM RIGHT. I WILL PERSUE. WE NEED TO KNOW THE CITIES THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN.

JACK, JUST ALLOW PRE-APPROVED BIDDERS BEFORE LISTING! THAT WAY YOU'LL *KNOW WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM* BEFORE THEY BID AND YOU WON'T GO TO ALL THAT TROUBLE! THINK THAT WILL WORK? JUST THOUGHT I'D MENTION IT.
BTW, CAN I SEE YOUR AUCTIONS? I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT GOODIES YOU HAVE. I PAY FAST IF I WIN SOMETHING AND I PROMISE NOT TO COMPLAIN TOO MUCH ABOUT ANYTHING!!!
posted on June 27, 2002 07:08:11 AM new
GLASSGRL. I KNOW YOU SENT THAT IN ALL SINCEREITY. HOWEVER,,,,,,,WHO WOULD I PRE APPROVE?????? HAHAHHAHA. THAT FUNCTION MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE IN THE WORLD TO ME. BLOCKING OUT A BIDDER AND I HOUNDED AND SCREAMMED AT E BAY OVER THAT ONE I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE IT WHEN IT WAS AVAILABLE. I STATRTED BLOCKING IMMEDIATELY, IF NOT SOONER. THE DUMBER THE E MAIL QUESTION THE QUICKER I "BLOCKED" THEM OUT! MAKES SENSE. BUT PRE APPROVED? MAKES NO SENSE TO ME AT ALL. EVER USED THAT FUCTION YOURSELF? TO ME IT MEANS BLOCK OUT THE ENTIRE BIDDING WORLD EXCEPT YOUR BUDDY DOWN THE STREET. HAHAHAHHA. . THANKS, JACK.

"THE BIDDER IS READING NOTHING."
Hi jack. That is the magic word, bidder reads nothing! So even if they had the major city on the feedback page it would not stop them from bidding.
You could not cancel their bid fast enough.
When you are dealing with people who are dumber than a stump you can not win.
I know its a waste of time, but its something one just has to deal with.
Have a great day jack.

TRAI, HOW ARE YA! THANKS FOR THE INPUT,,,,,,,YOU MISSED IT THOUGH. I LIVE ON E BAY, IT'S LIKE MY JOB. HAHAHA. I MONITOR AND LIST ALL DAY. (AND NIGHT). ESPECIALLY WITH A "NO SHIPPING" ITEM,,,,,,I WOULD SEE A BID POP UP ON IT AND IMMEDIATELY RUN TO FEED BACK PAGE. WHERE IS THIS GUY? ALASKA!!!!! AH!!!!!! NO!!!! A NON READER. CANCEL AND BLOCK BIDDER. SIMPLE. SEE? BUT WITH THE CURRENT INFO.,,,,,,,,,UNITED STATES........THINK ABOUT IT, WHAT GOOD IS IT? WORTHLESS.

Jack
I do understand what you are saying. Problem is that while you are canceling one bid there will be another and another etc.
You will just be spending all of your time trying to keep up to these non readers.
By the way, how are the c.f.m.p. selling these days? LOL
posted on June 27, 2002 08:55:15 AM new
TRAI, IT'S NOT LIKE THIS IS A WAR! AND THEY ARE COMING OVER THE WIRE IN THE HUNDREDS AND YOU ARE TRYING TO MOW THEM DOWN AS FAST AS THEY POP UP. THIS IS JUST ONE "NO SHIPPING" AUCTION. HAHAHHAAHAH. MAYBE ONE OR TWO IN THE WHOLE WEEK. THEY ARE EASY ENOUGH TO BEAD + IN ON AN BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM! SCRATCH ONE OR TWO CAN'T READS. HAHAHAHAHA.
C.F.M.P. GOT $65. THE OTHER DAY. NEVER TOUCHED THE GROUND JUST CEILING MARK SCUFFS. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHAT THIS GUY BUYS. WOW!!!!!! SHOCKING!!!!!! EVEN TO ME. HAHAHAHAH
posted on June 27, 2002 09:03:50 AM new
LINDAJEAN, I NEVER SAID TAKE OUT THE COUNTRY, ADD THE CITY NEXT TO THE COUNTRY. IT IS SO SIMPLE AND WOULD BE SOOOOOOOO HELPFUL. I WANT IT. AND I WILL BEAT ON E BAYS DOOR TILL I GET IT. AND I WILL GET IT. THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT GOES. THE BATTLE AIN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER. LOOKS LIKE THIS ONE JUST GOT GOING. ZINNNNNNNNNNG! WOW! WATCH OUT!!!!! KEEP DOWN! POP! POP! TWANG!

WAHAHAHAHA, you do make my day! In that case take their money and then tell them to pick up their stuff. Good to hear that the c.f. m. p. are doing so well. You gotta love it!

Hello Jack,
Maybe start your description with the message that the following item is available only for local pickup. That will be the very first thing the bidder reads, if they read. Or have you tried that already?
And about everyone playing a game to find someone's auctions? I don't agree with that at all. While some of you may have good intent there are others whose only intent is on causing trouble. Sorry to say that, but that is the way of the world.
KIARA. THIS IS ALL HYPOTHETICAL. THE POINT IS THERE NEEDS TO BE A CITY AS WELL AS A COUNTRY IN THAT BOX. THIS WAS JUST AN EXTREME EXAMPLE OF HOW IMPORTANT I FEEL THIS ISSUE IS. IF IT WEIGHS OVER FIVE POUNDS I AIN'T TOUCHING IT. HAHAHAHHAHA.
AGAIN,,,,,,,,[email protected]. THE MORE VOICE (S) THEY HEAR THE MORE LIKELY IT "WILL" BE DONE.
EDITED FOR THE,,,,,,,VOICES. YEH SOMETIMES I DO HEAR ,,,,,,VOICES. HAHAHAAHA.

kiara, I usually agree with you, but I think we have all gotten way toooooo paranoid. I don't have any listings up right now as I am taking a little summer break, but I dont' care who knows what I have listed and I have a great feedback with no enemies that I know of.
Lots of people know who onecentcd's are and many people actually use their same id on Ebay as the one they post here.
I thought the point was to GET people to look at your auctions, not to hide them!
posted on June 27, 2002 09:59:54 AM new
JACK, I get your point.
lindajean, sorry but I am very adamant about this. I recently put trust in someone and they violated that trust. Paranoid? To a certain degree I am and I consider it a healthy paranoia.
Each seller decides whether to reveal his auctions to the world same as he decides how to leave feedback, which way to list, etc.
I view it one way and you view it another. Neither one of us is right or wrong.

It is too bad there's not a way to list regionally only. In other words your item only shows up in regional listings.
posted on June 27, 2002 11:29:18 AM new
GO TO SEARCH,,,,,,,LOOK AT THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE PAGE.....SCROLL DOWN.....YOU SEE,,,,,,REGIONALLY. IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN? THINGS IN YOUR IMMEDIATE AREA ONLY SHOW UP.
I WENT AND LOOKED AGAIN. YOU SET THE REGION YOU WANT TO SEARCH ONLY BY HAND. IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN? THEY, MEANING SEARCHERS CAN FIND YOU IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
ANYWAY BACK TO MY THINKING. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT DOING ANY REGIONAL LOOKING THEY JUST BID ON THE PICTURE THEY LIKE AND HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IT IS. THAT IS WHY AGAIN, I SAY, NEED TO SEE WHERE THIS BID CAME FROM.
HEY!!!! PERFECT EXAMPLE ON A WORLD WIDE LEVEL. WHEN I GO TO CHECK RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY MOMENT WHERE A BID CAME FROM I MIGHT SEE GERMANY FOR EXAMPLE. DOES THAT MAKE YOU THINK?

O.K. FOLKS THE ABOVE WAS NOT ENOUGH TO IMPRESS THE REASON FOR THE "CITY" WELL THIS ONE "WILL" MAKE AN IMPRESSION ON YOU I AM SURE. AND WITH THE "NEW" POSTAL RATES FROM WHAT I SEE NIGHTMARE APPROACHING,,,,,,,,HERE IT IS.
HOW MANY OF THESE DO YOU GET IN A DAY. "how much is shipping?". SHIPPING, TO WHERE?????????!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A #$&@#$ BIG INTERNET WORLD. GERMANY, ENGLAND, CALIFORNIA, CHICAGO, NEW YORK. ETC. YOU KNOW.
NOW,,,,,,,,,FOR THE ONES THAT WON'T EVEN GIVE A ZIP CODE,,,,,,,,,,TAKE IT EVEN FARTHER ON THE FEED BACK PAGE,,,,,,,,ZIP CODE! YES, CITY AND ZIP CODE. COME ON FOLKS START TALKING TO E BAY. I HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ALL ALONE. AND FOR THOSE THAT DON'T HELP. JUST WATCH ALL THAT WASTED TIME TRYING TO GET THAT INFORMATION FROM ONE OF THOSE "NON" READERS. BACK AND FORTH..WHAT IS YOUR ADDRESS? i live in phoenix,,,,,,,GREAT! WHAT IS YOUR ZIP CODE?
HAHAHAHHAHAH, IF YOU DON'T SEE THE PROBLEMS NOW YOU SURE WILL IN ABOUT WHAT? FEW DAYS. GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN WITH THE "NON" READERS OF E BAY. REMEMBER, THE WORLD IS FULL OF how much is shipping. PEOPLE. IF YOU COULD RUN OVER TO THEIR FEED BACK PAGE REAL FAST WOULDN'T THAT MAKE YOUR DAY A WHOLE LOT EASIER? YES! YES! YES!
THANK YOU JACK FOR BRINGING THIS UP. I WILL LET E BAY KNOW OF THIS A.S.A.P. JACK YOU ARE ALWAYS THINKING. GOOD FOR YOU. A TOO BUSY SELLING AND LISTING AN E MAILING SELLER TO DEAL WITH THE "NON" READERS OF THIS WORLD.

Jack, when you list your pickup only items why not write in the check out. Pick up only. You can write what you want in that box.
posted on June 29, 2002 05:21:10 PM new
LIBRA63, THANKS, BUT YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. TOO MANY PEOPLE IN TWO YEARS OF THIS READ ABSOLUTELY,,,,,,,,,NOTHING. NOTHING. YOU CAN AND I HAVE WRITTEN IT RIGHT IN THE DESCRIPTION NUMEROUS TIMES IN VARIED WAYS,,,,,,WILL NOT SHIP,,,,,,,WON'T SHIP,,,,DO NOT BID,,,,,,,AND STILL,,,,,,
O.K. FORGET ALL THE EXAMPLES ETC.
DON'T ANY OF YOU FOLKS GET E MAILS FROM PEOPLE WHO AS SOON AS THE AUCTIONS FINISH SEND YOU AN E MAIL PROCLAIMING THEY ARE THE "WINNER" AND WHERE DO I SEND PAYMENT? IF THEY HAD READ ANYTHING IN MY AUCTION IT IS CLEARLY STATED, I WILL SEND THE "WINNER" AN E MAIL WITH ALL THE INFO. THEY NEED TO CONCLUDE THIS TRANSACTION. DID THEY READ IT? NO. BUT,,,,,,
WITH CITY AND NOW MY UPDATED THOUGHT OF THE ZIP CODE,,,,,I DON'T NEED TO SEND THEM ANYTHING EXCEPT THE POSTAGE AMOUNT. BECAUSE I ALREADY SEE THE ZIP AND STATE IN THEIR FEED BACK PAGE. WOULD THIS NOT BE SIMPLER OR WHAT. HAHAHHAHAHA. YES! AN EMPHATIC,,,,,,,YES!
. THANKS, JACK. 
LOL
