You make it sound kind of salacious that you were “unsolicited”. I wasn’t the offended party but just my 2 cents that he has always been a stand up guy with me and I hope if I ever seriously drop the ball on these boards that I’ll be granted some clemency somewhere down the road. The reason I stated unsolicited was because the offer was from Adrian, not me making him an offer, in light of all that has transpired here. I wanted to make that clear. And FTR I have done business with Adrian before on several occasions. It's not personal, it's business.

I agree with this. I don't see any reason to bag him for offering a good deal. Mistakes were made. He's trying to rectify it. Assuming everyone is made whole, I wouldn't have an issue doing business with him. I understand why others would.

I forgot Tim's book, that's it...not on purpose...but from having way too much on my plate at the time. I then tried to fix it in numerous ways once he alerted me. I obviously would've "forgotten" the $2k book instead of the $700 book if that was my goal, right? Or maybe just not sent a package at all? I'm not a scammer, and even @G G ® ™ (who you were quoting) stated above that he knew I wasn't, so why spin it that way? I don't. I was asking if that is why HE was uncomfortable buying a book from you on eBay. If I bought a book from you and did not have it within the allotted time frame I would just open a case as soon as the eBay system would let me.

I believe that's against their terms and conditions. None of my business, it just seemed like an odd thing to bring up during a discussion of ethical behavior.

Popular Post Polonsky Posted March 8, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 The check arrived today. There was a debacle as the villainous Two-Face leaped on the scene in attempts to use the check in his evil scheme. Fortunately, like any 38 page thread should be, this is a DC/ Marvel cross over. Thing thwarted all wrong doing, and ripped the check in half as if it was made of paper. ttfitz, KCOComics, 956Ref and 10 others 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of my business, it just seemed like an odd thing to bring up during a discussion of ethical behavior. Personally, if you're able to find a person or business based on their eBay store front and reach out to them outside of eBay, I believe that should be okay. Contacting a person through eBay PM's in order to request to conduct business outside of eBay is against the T&C's. I remember a previous discussion and there were a number of people who felt eBay deserved a cut no matter what because only through them were buyer/seller able to find each other. Others argued that eBay was an evil corporation and there was nothing wrong with messaging outside the platform to initiate sales. To each their own.

Obvs if it doesn't clear due to lack of funds then Polonsky will be a sad boy no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCComics Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Just my 2cents , the last 2 times I sent money to someone in Canada via PayPal, it sat "pending" for well over a week if not 2. But.....I can't remember if it was from my bank account or PayPal balance. So maybe my 2cents isn't worth 1 cent. Ohhhhh,well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
