Sellers need new options to avoid nighmare buyers.

Sellers have very limited options to avoid nighmare buyers.

I submitted as question to the September 29 2006 Bill Cobb meeting Sellers get the option to block bidder with either a FB score of lower than 99 or four negative feedbacks.

We could of course, by exception allow them to bid.

I think we need this option.

Current Buyer requirements Options:

  • Are registered in countries to which I don't ship
  • Have a feedback score of -1 or lower
  • Have received 2 Unpaid Item strikes in the last 30 days

Proposed Buyer requirements Options (changes in Bold):

  • Are registered in countries to which I don't ship (would like to be able to exempt couple listings)
  • Have a feedback score of -1 or lower
  • Have received 2 Unpaid Item strikes in the last 30 days
  • Have a positive feedback score below 99.00
  • Have received four or more negative feedbacks

    If you have other ideas or comments, feel free to give them to Bill Cobb.

    Removing glued on logo from your pda using sugar, Magic eraser or thinner.

    Removing glued on logo from your pda using Sugar, Magic eraser or paint thinner.

     

    Thinner:

    If you really want to remove imprinting from just about anything, try using paint thinner. It's non-abrasive, and it produces very fast results. Wear some rubber gloves for this if you care about being non-cancerous.

    Soak a spot on clean rag with a small amount of thinner and then rub the imprinting that you want to remove with one finger pressing the rag against the area in question. Repeat if necessary

     

    Mr Clean Magic Eraser, efficient and MUCH more safe, less likely to scratch than sugar.

     

     

    Sugar

     

    It is easy to remove some unwanted logo's from cell phones and other plastic / metal products. The logo has to be of the type glued onto the surface rather then etched in.

     

    Really all you need is

    * Your logo cell-phone, pager, whatever
    * Several cubes of sugar: I hardly used one, but according to other sources they need up to twelve, so a few extra can’t hurt
    as you can eat the leftovers)

    Additional things which might be useful:

    * TAPE!! It is important as you don’t want sugar getting into your phone
    * a newspaper: you might want to limit any mess by using a newspaper as protection for your desk/workstation.
    * a pin to remove any sugar in niche
    * cloth to wipe off the sugar


    The tape really is essential as you don’t want sugar in your phone. Having that said, I did not get any hands-on experience of any device malfunctioning because of sugar in the mechanics, but it certainly is not a good idea. Especially the spaces between the buttons provide excellent sugar traps. So in case you are extra picky (like me) you might want to have a pin handy in case you see some sugar trying to get in. I was extra careful and put on new tape ever so often. Firstly some sugar might just sneak under it, and more importantly my continuous rubbing did not leave the tape unharmed, so I replaced the tape a few times to be on the safe side.

    The point of the tape is to stop sugar from getting into the phone. So I have applied it all around the area of the logo. Even further where there were obvious slits where sugar could easily enter. 


    Make sure that right at the logo, the tape is applied firmly so that nothing can slip through. On the other ends it is not so important to have the tape as tight over the edge.

    Now, it’s time to get rid of the logo by firmly rubbing it with the sugar. The main concern is actually not that you scratch the casing but that you scratch off the tape.

    This actually takes a long time until you actually see results. It is easiest to use the corners of the sugar cubes. As they provide more control. It is easiest to scratch with one hand and hold the phone steady with the other. (it should just come naturally)

    Periodically you will have to remove the tape, and put new tape on as you might have damaged and loosened it with too vigorous rubbing. This should not be a problem if you make sure before you put on the new tape the all the sugar is wiped off using some cloth. (fingers might get sweaty and make the sugar sticky)

    Once the whole logo is off, you can use the cloth (my t-shirt) to wipe of the sugar as some will inevitably stick. Now you might get the impression that there are several scratches in the casing. In my case that was just ‘leftover’ of the logo (the glue I believe). This means some more rubbing with the sugar.

    The tapes may have left a mark but with some dry cleaning with cloth and continuous use these should disappear quickly.

     

    You might try nail polish too, acetone on a q tip. Taping off is smart..then you can wipe.

     

    good luck
