>> Afternoon guys and gals,
>> I would like your input concerning an angry message I received
>> today
>> from an eBay seller of machined and polished TR 6 parts (in Georgia, I
>> think). I never had an opportunity to bid on his billet aluminum a/c fan
>> extension
>> piece, so when I saw that the bidding had ended one night this week I
>> used
>> the
>> eBay "contact seller" service and asked the seller if he would like
>> tosell
>> me the piece at $300....... almost the exact price he originally listed
>> it
>> at,
>> but not his "Buy it Now" listed price of $350. (He previously had no
>> bids
>> for
>> either of the times he listed the part on eBay.) I thought he would like
>> the
>> chance to sell it to me for $300, which is only $20 under the $320 price
>> he
>> originally listed the part to sell for. To my shock and confusion, he
>> sent
>> me
>> an email today in which advised that any future messages from me (and
>> somebody
>> named Al Salvatore) would be blocked. He also had some critical comments
>> (mildly put) for Mr. Salvatore; I got the impression that he somehow

>> that
>> I know this person and that my original email request was some kind of
>> collusive effort to purchase his products unfairly or undercut the ebay
>> bidding
>> process. I had no such intent, nor do I even know this Al Salvatore. Do
>> you
>> guys? I also got an advisory email from eBay itself today which
>> cautioned
>> me
>> about contacting any seller after an unsuccessful bid (but note that here
>> I
>> never
>> even bid on the item) , and telling me not to ask to purchase an eBay
>> listed
>> item directly from a seller once bidding has ended. I was unaware of
>> this
>> rule, and feel terribly that this seller now thinks I was out to cheat
>> him......especially since I still wish to purchase this part from him at
>> the
>> price he
>> originally listed under his "Buy it now" entry.......$350. I feel that I
>> owe him
>> the additional $50 now, given the confusion I created. Did I get into
>> the
>> middle of some dispute between these two guys? Help me out if you
>> can,
>> folks. Bob Pierson
