Please note. I kept the Robinson photos. I never make anyone eat shipping either. I also make sure to cancel the transaction so no one loses fees. No one gets hurt. Great post though. Still not sure why people take this "hobby" so serious. People have been responding to this thread like I murdered someone. I won't ask for help anymore. Just know that you guys lost a passionate collector who eventually would have been a great contributor. I've been on here for a while now and you guys seem to have a habit of pushing newbies away. Great job. You guys honestly took all the fun out of this if I'm being honest. I have constantly felt like I had something to prove on here to everyone minus a few good people. I felt like I had to carefully word everything as to not seem this way or that way and get lectured. Good luck. To those of you who I have dealt with, thanks and always feel free to email me with any Jackie items and I'll do the same for you when I come across things you could use.

How can you seriously not get it that people are trying to help you.

If you think education is expensive and takes a long time, try ignorance.

EYECOLLECT VINTAGE:

I myself am not very old. I've been on this site for a couple of years. Like any "rookie", just sit back and observe. Have a small mouth and big ears. Don't ruffle the feathers. Put in your dues. Ask as many questions as you like; you'd be surprised....as nearly 100% of the people on this site are more than willing to share info. However, making numerous rash purchases and then asking questions after the fact is the entirely wrong way to go about it here. You'll get a pass (maybe 2), but it's only going to irritate people (since many people on here sell via Ebay themselves). Simply put: Put on your big boy pants, do your homework, ask a million questions before you buy anything, stop wasting the seller's time, make an informed purchase.

But your first response after hearing that they were not what you thought they were was still

I am glad that you did ultimately decide to keep the Robinson photos, but that knee-jerk reaction is what really bugs me. That post in particular I tried to focus as much as possible on identifying what you had in my response, not on all the ways that what you got was not what you thought it was.

As I said before, I don't mind educating in areas where I have knowledge to share, and I know many other board members feel the same. Even if ALL of your posts are questions, I personally have no problem with that. A big part of the board is education of and by like-minded collectors.

It's the jump first and then ask questions, followed by a flippant attitude toward returns that irks me personally. The fact that eBay no longer expects buyers to take any responsibility for their purchases does not make that attitude right, and it will never sit well with many of us, regardless of whether eBay enforces any sort of reasonable return policy or not.
