Cowards

*sighs*... it's some rotten bandit person... they are doing it to everyone... fear not.. you're not alone... I took my neg votes as a very personal injury.. but then I started thinking.. retribution finds it's course.. even though I don't believe in it directly, karma will find it's way to this person.. I'll go & offset that pusilanimous pigdog's effect this very moment & offer my positive votes!

Oh myyy!!! Your guides are outstanding! I voted yes without hesitation... Your writing is clear, concise, simply superb! I like the way you justify your photos right & left in the most recent guide. I'm not much into dolls, but your writing superceded my moderate interest and I kept reading! Yay!

Most impressive guides I'v seen to date. I know absolutely nothing about dolls, except the "Pussy Cat Dolls", but I voted yes simply because of the effort.

Aren't you a sweetheart? Thank you.

It affirms my other conviction about there still being nice people out there.

I suppose people don't think I'm nice after some of the things I've written this week. But I'm tired of stepping on eggs & seeing nice people get ripped off because a seller's description is so convincing. I don't think it's nice to try to fool people, I don't think it's nice to want money from people without providing value for money and I mostly don't think it's nice to go to the electronic equivalent of someone's house and leave muddy footprints.

Thanks again. I'm done ranting for now.

They did it to me the other night zonie. I wrote a guide about it!

You got my yes vote zonie888

Worse than this: What about when you sell an item and offer FREE shipping, or pay half of the shipping costs yourself and you get ZAPPED for high shipping costs in otherwise positive feedback? Perhaps people feel that they had to bid too high to win an item...Well, then, why bid??? But people do, and then they get ...strange...even when they win...

As for unhelpfulness, I have been zapped on My Guides...all of them, by a few people who just want to hurt me for no reason. When I have a dispute with someone [which has happened only three times to date (out of over 450 transactions), when two buyers STOLE my items and returned EMPTY BOXES AND got refunds from PayPal anyway!] I have always been honest and above-board in my responses. I am, if approached respectfully, respectful...and if approached with disrespect, well, I try to reign myself in! Every day is a new learning experience! I have to publicaly thank zonie888 for her extreme helpfulness to me. I thought I knew a lot about dolls, but she has provided me with crucial information TWICE now, thus saving me from unwittingly making mistakes. She really knows a lot about the doll world...and I've been collecting for over twenty years! So, three cheers for zonie888...SHE is very helpful. Thanks!
