OT (sort of) -- Some venting from an ebay seller

[rdixon1208]

I disagree with most of you. I wouldn't ship the books. I think I would take it personal if a guy stopped returning my emails after a deal had been made but before a payment was received.

I've actually (just on a few occasions), blocked a bidder from my auctions just because he/she was a hassle to deal with. This wouldn't have helped you in this case as there weren't any higher bids, but it could have alleviated your aggravations with the person.

Yeah, after I didn't hear from the guy and before I relisted the books, I did briefly consider blocking him. But I frankly didn't think he'd have the temerity to bid again after ignoring me. Should've know better.

And I have to disagree a little about not being mad at the second bidder. I'll probably ultimately take the high road and just ship him the books, but I think I still have the right to be annoyed with him. He didn't "screw me," per se. But he certainly didn't act very professionally.
