Ok I am a small business person just starting out. I spend hours scanning ebay trying to find people selling true high quality lots of small dog and cat leashes, collars, and yes ( sorry chewbarca) even competitors dog tag blanks to increase the capacity of my business. WHY oh WHY is it so hard for me to find what I am looking for? Is there anyone who can give me a clue on how to find actual wholesallers who are not selling SMC crap, or  one of the drop ship china dreck? I am looking for Canadian and US manufacturers of quality hwolesale in bulk! I know manufacturing in this country is not totally dead is it?

I have had two bad ratings in my 7 year life on ebay.  In both cases I felt that the seller had used shady tatics to promote thier own greed.

My one negative.     " do not deal with this lady!!! wants everything from shipping to item for free...  Seller

I wanted to talk about this sale and what I feel went wrong. I was seeking a working digital camera. I had picked a camera that I thought would be good. The seller used a photo that clearly was stock in hindsight. How do I know. The camera I got in the mail from this seller was scratched, nicked and would not power up with new batteries. The lenz was missing and the inside had a oily residue.  I sent the seller 10 emails over a 15 day period of time. I even had a mediation email sent to them. No responce. In the mean time I noticed that on several days this seller gave others ratings and they continued to sell. I even watched one sale from win to recipt feedback posting. There was no blizzard as the seller claimed. They also never responded to a certified - return recipt letter I sent them asking them to please respond to my concerns.  I still have this non working camera sitting on my computer table to remind me how stupid I was to buy a camera online instead of going to a reputable camera dealer.

Vicallas 5  nutral postings.  this was a jewlry seller who is claiming to sell sterling silver jewelery. I am a jeweler. When the jewelery arrived the pieces i got were not the pieces in the photos, the stones were smaller and while pretty the settings they were in were a cheap pot metal.  I tested them with a drop of a chemical that turns color if the metal is anything other than silver.  You compare the color drop to a chart and it tells you what the primary metal is in the piece. theirs tested nickel When i contacted their customer service and  returnied the 5 pieces they posted 5 nutrals.

I believe that both of these sellers figured that the threat of negative feedback would keep me from posting negatives against them. Guess what. Be honest, Sell quality and you have nothing to fear from me.

Look AT chewbarka! I LOVE this seller. He is as honest as the day is long, he  produces a terriffic product and he is running a stright up business. 

I am a dog tag engraver. I sell chewbarcas tags engraved with a diamond drag engraver. I choose him because he is the type of ebayer we should all hope to be.
