  • From now on we will require that a prefix is set for any items in the sales area. We have created regions and locations for this. We also require that you select a delivery option before posting your listing.

New sales rules are also coming, so stay tuned.

A flake to avoid on ebay

Well, everyone make their own decisions, but for me that is not a hindrance.
On occasion the situation has been reversed - I have done transactions over the net in other languages.

And as I know I am thus at a disadvantage, when using one not my own I am careful to
a) read everything
b) not hide my intentions
c) be polite
...and if the other party does likewise a deal is usually struck (failure at c however is fatal).

This was the way computer enthusiasts began, back in the days of Fidonet and 300 Baud; it seemed everyone was nice.
Then of course videogames with their "shoot-to-kill" and "everyone-else-is-a-monster" themes (can you spell "DOOM"?) produced multiple generations of screen names with no manners or morals.
 
You think Doom is the reason people have no manners or morals?

Laughable.......

You want something to blame? Blame the actual culprits. That idiot device in your pocket, antisocial networking, and bad parenting.
