I could see if someone had 0 or very low feedback in order to boost their rating, but for someone over 700 already? I have no idea.

Could be a placemarker for an auction purchased on one of eBay's specials.

Re: WTF is ebay allowing this

hacked or hijacked....the seller has a 751 feedback with only a couple of negs. And I thought "placemarkers" were against ebay policy (if I read into it correctly that is!)

Re: WTF is ebay allowing this

I've seen guys like Charvel750 use placeholders when Ebay announces discount insertion days or something, but they're usually OBVIOUS placeholders like "Check back later for completed listing" and stuff like that.

Otherwise, this better be the best damn paperclip in the world... back off, you bozos!!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Hmm, I wonder if it's a colored paperclip. Colors are prettier than plain silver. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Can't you tell its a Boutique Paper Clip? Just listen to the tone man!

Re: WTF is ebay allowing this

Maybe it's that damn paper clip in Microsoft Office, so I can kill it once and for all if I win.

Re: WTF is ebay allowing this

THAT would be worth 30 bucks... for sure, haha...

hmmm, I hope it's anodised then. I don't want a crappy plastic coated one.

Re: WTF is ebay allowing this

The dude probably lost his power seller rating for too many negs. His feedback score is right around where they yank it from you.

You can buy a shitload of clips at Costco or Sam's, resell them - and make enough profit to go on a Charvel buying spree! [img]/images/graemlins/band.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] There's no shortage of idiots - we just have to find em'.
