... is shameful. I hope it was not posted by anyone who is a regular here. The fact that the name came back to Steve Brock is disconcerting, though I don't for a minute doubt his denial of involvement. But, the fact that it was done in his name seems to indicate that the actual bidder is not only computer-savvy (I for example, would have no idea how to do such a thing), but also familiar with Steve (either through the club, the board or eBay). Interesting that this person also chose to sabotage Steve's auctions.

Mark Onlinedeals got off to a bad start with some posters here and hasn't made much headway, in the minds of some, in repairing the damage. Nevertheless, I thought he was making an honest effort to accommodate complaints made here and to make his auction descriptions fair and accurate.

Most of you know that I have no hesitation in calling out false, fraudulent or misleading eBay auction descriptions and that I have no compunctions about notifying bidders when sellers won't respond to complaints about such descriptions.

I do not, however, see anything appropriate or constructive in this action against "online"'s (and Steve's) auctions. As I said above, I hope it was not a regular here who did this; if so, I will be sorely disappointed.
