Did you not know that? Surprising from someone who claims to >know so much. Oh :-( I refer the honourable gentleman to the reply which I made some moments ago. I've been away for a while, and I don't want to get involved in the petty squabbles which some contributors to this NG seem to need. I mentioned before that ignorance and stupidity are not the same thing, and my intention at that time was to indicate that you (Fran) are actually not stupid. I don't know *anything* about Seller Manager, and have *never* claimed to do so. I'm ignorant, not stupid. In fact. I have never claimed to know anything at all in this NG. I've asked relevant questions, and given a little advice where I have had some experience, but never expected anyone else to think that I was an authority. I'm sorry if I've upset you by coming back to the NG. That certainly was not my intetion. -- Humbug

The dealer was prepared to wait for me to get the money before letting me have it. It took a few days. That's just one example. NOTBA eBay is *not* a retail environment. Have you read eBay's T&Cs? -- Humbug (Who doesn't understand why Fran is being hostile)

Fair enough. I obviously misread what you said in this instance. > I'm sorry if I've upset you by coming back to the NG. That certainly > was not my intetion. > You haven't upset me in the least. I do however recall some of the tone you took with me a while back so that may be colouring my opinion. I'll reboot it. ;) |
