Maybe something else will come up and take it's place to be what eBay used to be.

Bought an amp of ebay from a power seller. It came in scratched from poor packaging and loose parts in the box. Seller said they would do nothing, so I left them negative feedback. They countered with negative to me. No explanation o fthe negative, just "please call" and their phone number... Why would I call, when I already did and got no response? Complained to ebay and they would ot help. I even asked how you cna leave negative feedback with out explaining why it's negative in the first place. ie.. slow ship, broken, never sent etc.. But just "call us" ? How does that help other ebays make a decision about purchasing from them or me?
Long story short about 2 weeks later I get a request started by the seller to do mutual feedback withdrawel.. What a joke. He gets rid of his one of many negative out of 10000 feedbacks, verse my one and only negative out of 150.. I got bullied into doing it. The feedback program is broken and now that ebay owns PAYPAL, they don't protect you either.
On the other hand, if you want nice "non-collector" posters, find pics on line and have Kinko's blow them up for you. It's less than even the shipping to buy one on ebay. They can even make a collage of your own shark..

Dealing with these types of headaches isn't worth the $35 bux I spent on it. Live in learn! Oh well.. Should have paid by credit card. Just wanted to warn other potential buyers.

Dan,
I bought the same poster and it arrived with no issues. Sorry to hear about your situation, but on a bright note, I'm not going to put the poster up and if you want to buy it from a reputable Rennlister, I'd be more than happy to sell it to you.

I bought the same poster and the seller apparently had no clue how to ship it safely so it was slightly wrinkled in transport. If the guy who got ripped off sends me his address I'll let him have my slightly less than perfect example.

Thanks for the comments guys. It sucks being ripped off but at least it was $36 bux instead of $360. I will take you up on the offer. PM sent with address.
Thanks
