[OT] eBay Advice Needed

[marc at getty.net (Marc Getty)]

I would not be surprised if this is 15 year old with severe ADD.
Language/culture may have nothing to do with it. Its all about mental state
and perhaps a little about age.
 
He has not given me negative feedback yet nor have I for him. I'll wait for
90 days and give him a negative on the last day I am able to I will March
3rd will be a day I look forward to! ;-)
 
Thanks for all your comments folks!
 
-Marc

    Well firstly I can tell you that everything he writes in french is just
random Explitives.  No usefull information in those lines of text.  Son of a
B*%^&, Jesus Christ, holy F kinds of stuff.  Not exact translations really.
I don't know much about ebay but what would happen if you did the thing he's
talking about with the Mutual disagreement thing?  Does it hurt your
history?  By not doing it is it hurting his history?  I don't understand
what his problem is and why he's so combative unless some harm will come to
his account.  He should have read the entire auction first.  His own fault
really.  Mtl Marc would know more about the French Canadian condition then I
would.  I haven't lived in Montreal for a number of years and I learned
French in France.  There's actually a big enough difference that I'd have
difficulty communicating even though I'm Canadian.

All,

Any advice you can provide on the below auction that went awry? Both my
French language and dealing with idiot skills are lacking these days.

I was selling item:
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190055910799>
&item=190055910799>, which I
think is a very well worked auction that could not be more clear.

Item posted: Sun Nov-26-06 20:30:00 PST
Item ended: Sun Dec-03-06 20:30:00 PST

Question asked by buyer: Sun Dec-03-06 20:26:00 PST (4 minutes before action
close)

Content of question: Hi, how are you?  It's a personal and private question,
can you please do not put my quota (questions) into public listing, i really
hate that. Thanks in adv. I want to know if you can ship to Canada BY USPS
Airmail or Surface LETTER Post ONLY (Economical Rate) PLEASE No PARCEL, ONLY
LETTER post, because I know it's weighting less than 4 pounds THAT can be
allowed to pass if less than 4 pounds to ship with sm. package, see for
USPS's URL website for information.
