Ebay dealer question
Was wondering if anyone here has had any experiance with a ebay dealer
that uses the ID globalsportsstars ? I checked the "X" list they're not mentioned on it,their feedback seems OK. I recently got interested in getting sigs from the cast of Gilligans Island,and was searching on ebay when I found this one : http://cgi.ebay.com/Tina-Louise-Gill...QQcmdZViewItem Anyone know where I might find a known genunine sig of Ms.Louise ? Anyone know of someone who specializes in this type material ? Thanks. |

Ebay dealer question
Well, I am not familiar with the autographs he's selling so I can't
vouch for authenticity per se; my frist thought was he might be legit because he has a lot of unsigned photos (better to sign those unsigned photos and sell them for more right?); and then I see where there's like a few Playboy Playmates who he says did signings and he's done signings with them (has holograms etc); but something bothers me. He's got a LOT of names he went under before. I am zonked right now and want to go night night; but I would suggest typing those name into Seller search and reading their feedbacks. there's always a reason to change a name and it is usually because of bad feedbacks or other problems that are NOT good for the general public. Now there was a time when they suggested people stop using their email as their ID and I was one who listened and changed it, leaving out the email part. A lot did that at that time, but why else would you change your name more than a half dozen times in about 4 years. Feedbacks indicated a little less than honest (two allude to not getting what was advertised) and a couple people said he doesn't anwer emails after many attempts. but overall, I didn't see any major other things that were worrisome. I'd still question why so many ID changes... I'd be leary until I knew.

Sue, Thanks for the reply.

Ebay dealer question
PS in my opinion, listing stuff for people for 30 days or less and
having to change your ID if you are legit, may give people the idea you are a bad dealer. Especially if previoius auctions are unviewable. People may think you ran from something... but then again, I am looking at it from a pessimisstic point of view. Maybe there's a good way to look at it? On Sun, 03 Sep 2006 13:12:57 -0400, Sue H wrote: Ah, well I see; Ebay changed it's search. You can no longer go back longer than 30 days. Another tool to help sellers! WRONG. We should be able to track their past doings! However, I did track sportslegends who had a 99.6% rating which seems good but same problems..never recieved times (a few) and no answer to emails... my-entertainment1 had a 99.3 rating; changed his user ID within 30 days from the previous one (I am backtracking) He was selling large quantities of CHEAP baseball 8x10's in bulk... Selling from New Jersey. Landoflegends2 also changed ID within 30 days. Also selling CHEAP by cheap I mean under 10 bucks... baseball 8x10's same rating. selling from New Jersey I couldn't find anything OnMy-Entertainment Or Metstar However, bad news on the first one; devmichaels had listed stuff on another auction and had dissatisfied customers who never got their stuff. I could find no more out. When you can't find their past doings on Ebay because items removed etc. You can Google it and hit "cached". This sometimes brings you up information. Hard to tell on this guy. If he was selling stuff for other people you have to ask why. Why can't they list their own? If he's listing stuff for others and continually changing ID's? Why isn't he keeping his own ID separate? To sign up for a new ID, you have to use your credit card and bank account. Would you sell for other people using your information? Just a few questions to ask. He could be legit. Stellar he's not. Worried about 1.99 8x10 signed by famous ball players... what you need to do now, is check out the sigs there with a pro. Barring a real knowledgable person saying things ok, I'd skip it. Too much unknowns for me; but then again, I am a cynical person by nature.

Ebay dealer question
i'm not familiar with the seller, nor did i look up their items...don't know their other names etc.. but you're right, it seems odd they would change their id's...but at the same time, you can look all that stuff up with the change of id's, so it would seem that this person is not trying to hide something. maybe he/she/it was selling stuff and they knew that it might sell for a better price if their name was computerguy2u, when they were selling computers or computer parts. then they changed to autographseller when they wanted to sell autographs, and recorddealer when they were selling records. i don't know. but name does give an indication of what you are selling too, if you have the intention of selling as a business... i mean, the guy selling autographs doesn't have a seller name of dungbeetle, do they? the guy selling camera parts doesn't have a name like sellingjunk4u, should they? do you get my point... those people who have the "We Sell it on ebay" stores, they change their seller name all the time...i don't know why, but they do...there's one right by my condo. and in the time i've talked to the guy who runs it (he lives in my building) he tells me it's sometimes suggested by evay to change your name depending on when you start to specialize (yes, in some areas, people sell specific stuff in those places.) they all work together too, so sometimes a guy who's got a good group of clients buying collectibles, the seller across town would bring that guy his colectibles and they would sort of trade if the other guy sells like antiques... then, the area's markets change, and the seller name changes as well, just to reflect what they are selling... and to be honest, these are really the only reasons i can see for changing names...other than that, it does seem odd...but at least the above makes sense. mike |

They've been selling autographs all the way through; so that theory
doesn't hold.
