Carlos...
Thank you for this one last word..
you are entirely wrong in every point that you made, with the obvious exception
of spelling errors and other mistyped thoughts..
in regard to E-Bay, i will only refer you and all others to this particular
item:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150978232
which i feel adequately shows the reasons for my concerns...
i truly do care for my customers and others who are not so wise in the ways of
on-line fraud and when asked, i will give the same opinion, about e-bay...
it is obvious also, that there are good and honest sellers and buyers using
e-bay as a conduit, but all should be aware that there are those who are not
honest...
