I dont sell much on ebay, but I sold some cans a few weeks ago. Listed them all at 9.99 starting bid with no reserve, 7-day auctions, and just let them run their course... some sold well and went high, and some sold low.
this guy emails me tonight and is mad because he wasn't able to make money off of the can he bought from me... and is accusing me of suspicious activity. unbelievable.
i hope this isnt anyone on here, and if it is, you can take a hike.
his ebay name is 'burgernfryes'... i would steer clear of him as a buyer or seller.

Sounds like one of the whining much younger "I'm entitled" generation who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions.
And don't rule out he may be a she..

its a guy... and im fairly certain he is at least middle aged. i think he's just a little nuts and i think he just doesnt understand that items selling on ebay have high volatility.
he continued messaging me last night... he's definitely an odd duck, and super paranoid.

went thru my email history, cause I wanted to make sure that I wasnt short in my responses to him when he won it, like he is accusing me of. here's the full message history that he is referring to, lol, not sure what he expected me to respond and say?  (btw, his name is Gary Pearson from Hesperia, CA)

What a fruitcake! If he is so suspicious about the other guy bidding it up numerous times, did he ever think that he was the same guy on the other side bidding that guy up? Who buys stuff on ebay thinking they can automatically relist it and it will bring the same or more money again? Unbelievable. I hate stupid people...

Ha!..Seems like 56chiefstar has been doing it for sometime: http://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.p...true#Post373923You are right Jarvis, eBay prices are higher then I would get. I have recently bought stuff on eBay and when I try to relist the items do not go near the price I paid no matter how often I relist it or change the wording or pictures, I believe there is a lot of ebayers who have their friends bid up items and have heard of this because some of this stuff on eBay doesnt go for near what I paid. eBay says they don't allow this but obviously it goes on alot. And when you sell on eBay you have to include the eBay fees, paypal and now they charge fees on shipping which they use to not do. The shows are the best place for finding signs I believe.
