Re: Then do me a favor

Don't bid on my auctions. I'd never list anything without that proviso.

I've sold very little in the way of audio equipment, but I wouldn't change my terms & conditions one bit for anything. After more than 11,000 sales on eBay, I still have a 100% positive feedback rating. If I don't describe every flaw that I can ascertain, then it's my reputation at stake.

I wouldn't risk that, especially for the sake of someone who sees that as a deal-breaker. And if someone can't tell that after ratings well into the thousands on multiple IDs, that I'm not capable of describing something properly, then I don't want to do business with that person anyway. Especially since it's not that difficult to ask questions.

That said, high-end audio is a specialized area & I do understand a certain measure of reluctance. And of course we've all run into our share of sharks & lowlifes on eBay. But since some are buyers, the necessary thing to do is to include that language. Similarly, the only way to do things on the seller's side is to include every relevant factor in the description, positive or negative. And if I'm selling for someone, as I am most of the time, they have to accept that I'm not going to sugarcoat their item, either, and if that means we split less money, so be it. My feedback rating & reputation are far more important to worry about such nonsense.
