Another GDFa-hole on Ebay

WTF is up w/ sellers on Ebay? You'd think that if you are smart enought to get on the Internet, figure how to list an item (yea, it's not that difficult but 90% of newcomers struggle w/ it) and correspond with your buyers, that you'd be SMART enough to watch your tongue.
The seller that currently has a WH era pic on Ebay...it's being recylced after the 1st one went for a tidy sum....I asked him when I won, that if he had others, I'd be interested. Please let me know asap, so that I can mail payment today.
His repsonse:

sorry but I never sell my stuff to foreign countries, some things are just meant to stay here and be enjoyed by Americans

SO...I've said before that my husbands name is on the Ebay account, so I'm guessing that braniac here summed it all up in his head by my name that I am either out of country, or just not an American. Such a trite response has be SO worked up right now. WHAT a dumbass! I mean I asked about buying more...not a WORD about out of country, etc.

I felt bad after posting this for venting on the board, which I really try to avoid, but dangit, that's what I woke up to this a.m, and I was just SO mad! Stevie is a major hobby for me, and the negativity that can be viewed on boards...NOT THE LEDGE (cough, no names pls, cough) or via crap like this on Ebay is SUCH a factor for throwing in the towel. Yea, I know...don't let it get you down, but jeesh!
Enough...thanks folks for listening.

Damn. That is crazy. I agree with Suze that you should report him. eBay probably isn't interested in having a reputation for allowing racist sellers to communicate their filth on their servers.

And even if they don't do much at least you'll have done what you can to combat this nonsense.
