eBay Sucks!

imemine	Date: September 23, 2007 @ 6:32 PM So I make a bid on this sound card and this guy won't take my bid because I have never bought anything from eBay. He suggest that I buy it from Full Compass (I have no problem with that but I tell him that I have a Musicians Friend warehouse nearby---this is his response! "AND THATS WHY YOU WONT BUY THIS DELTA 1010 OR ANYTHING I HAVE FOR SELL.YOU SEE THATS WHY NOONE WILL SELL TO YOU BECAUSE ITS JUST NOT SELLING TO YOU ,YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND THIS KIND OF MUSICAL EQ IS WAY OUT OF YOUR REACH.STICK TO THE 2 CHANNEL SOUND CARDS YOU CAN BUY @ BESTBUY. ALL I CAN SAY DUDE YOU ARE BLOCKED FROM MY SITE BECAUSE YOU WILL BID BUT NEVER PAY YOU WILL BUY THEM BITCH AND PEOPLE WHO KNOW BETTER WILL NEVER SELL TO YOU .I WOULD STICK TO USING EBAY TO BUY SOME CD,S OR GUITAR PICKS .BUT NOT SOMETHING FOR 200.BUCK, LET IT GO DUDE" Here it is if YOU want to buy it! Expect great customer service!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110171442118&ssPageName=ADME:B:BCA:US:1123
leedsquietman	Date: September 23, 2007 @ 8:21 PM You're right this seller is a jerk, he is taken out displaced aggression on you for others who f**ked him over. He's right that there are others who won't sell to people with zero feedback either, mostly because of the increased risk of not getting paid but then again many will, so long as you pay up front. Maybe try this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Used-M-Audio-Delta-1010-24bit-96k-8-analog-io-and-spdif_W0QQitemZ110172941226QQihZ001QQcategoryZ41784QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem There will be plenty of other pro soundcards for sale on ebay, so unltimately it is the seller who will lose out. Ebay doesn't suck per se, it's this seller who sucks. btw you mig
leedsquietman	Date: September 23, 2007 @ 8:23 PM sorry, last sentence should read you might want to consider something like the EMU 1616 too, this is a great offer on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/CREATIVE-70EM896106000-E-MU-1616-PCI-DIGITAL-AUDIO-SYS_W0QQitemZ150155382232QQihZ005QQcategoryZ3666QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
evansorchid	Date: September 23, 2007 @ 8:46 PM Hey, what's wrong with the two channel sound cards at Best Buy? Sound Blaster rules!!!! Is this thing in stereo?
Distilled1	Date: September 24, 2007 @ 10:00 AM hes a lying anyway "he found he needed only one" well funny looks like everything he has sold is some type of like new music gear from cymbals to ...name it Id say its someone buying scratch and dent/fire sale stuff and reselling. dude buy it from Musicians friend. and I love my e-mu sound blaster :yuck:
imemine	Date: September 24, 2007 @ 11:57 PM Isn't EMU the old soundblaster? I like the M-Audio products. I have the 2496 now and I think it's great for the money--- when I bought it 1oo years ago it was a LOT more than it is now. I've done some research---the 1010 is pretty good---It has the same D/A as the ProTools crap!
NickSawyer	Date: September 25, 2007 @ 12:55 AM yes. ebay sucks
Distilled1	Date: September 25, 2007 @ 10:07 AM yeah the E-mu's are a creative product, but they have good D/A converters as well, I have an intergrated soundblaster I cant figure out how to set the damn suround on, but I use the Emu all the time anyway... yeah the 1010 is really nice!

leedsquietman	Date: September 25, 2007 @ 5:38 PM No, the EMU product is NOT a soundblaster, Creative bought EMU who were a company in their own right. EMU now also make the soundblaster card now for Creative but EMU branded products are professional. The 1616 has better D/A converters than the M-Audio 1010 and also has preamps which the 1010 lacks. The 1616 has the same d/a as protools, t6he 1616M has mastering grade converters that burn off the protools and are as good as RME's converters. Protools quality btw doesn't mean a lot, the quality is OK not brilliant, many studios running protools run other pres and d/a's rather than the digi 002 or 003 etc. M-Audio products are very variable in quality, some are good (the 24/96 being one of their better products), others (the firewire 410 coming to mind) are absolute lemons with terrible drivers.
imemine	Date: September 25, 2007 @ 10:14 PM I don't want pre amps in my A/D. On 25th Sep 2008, leedsquietman said: No, the EMU product is NOT a soundblaster, So leeds---how do you REALLY feel about this?

Distilled1	Date: September 26, 2007 @ 11:50 PM I have a lowly 0404 and I tell you what it rocks for the the Alwsis mixer main outs into it and well it works great! thats all I can say don't know if its the "pro tools" D/As but whatever they are I get a decent live recording if I dont mess with the Alesis FX to much
CarvinAbuser	Date: September 28, 2007 @ 1:08 PM eBay used to be good until they raised their listing prices and fees. Plus if you use PayPal, which is owned by eBay, you incur more fees and it's against the regulations to make the buyer pay the fees!
TravelersTale	Date: September 29, 2007 @ 7:35 PM As mentioned ebay used to be good...to many fees...I only use it rarley to buy and sell now...Ebay is only hurting themselves...Ive noticed they have many more promotions now...10 cent listings and what not.
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 29, 2007 @ 11:31 PM I haven't encountered a decent 2 channel soundcard since my ancient Soundblaster AWE32 non-PnP bit the dust spectacularly in 1999... That bugger was awesome, clear as a bell and louder than a whale fart.
lacupcake	Date: September 30, 2007 @ 8:23 PM eBay is fucking horrible. If I want somethng now, I just get out and buy it.
leedsquietman	Date: September 30, 2007 @ 9:05 PM that's fine unless you're looking for something which is rare or a collector's item which you can't usually find around town. And bargains are sometimes to be had that cannot be gotten for that price around town. Ebay isn't horrible, I've bought 2 dozen things using it no problem.

I can only say I've had good experiences with eBay
thesurviving...	Date: February 5, 2008 @ 5:50 PM if you report him to ebay he will be banned. stop him from messing over other guys. +payback is juicy yeah, i love ebay, ive bought and sold some 180+ things. you just have to be patient to find good deals.
zedsalt	Date: February 6, 2008 @ 10:26 AM The crawl across the bottom of the screen during the BBC news the other night said that EBay is doing away with negative feedback. I assume reporting the real baddies to the EBaythorities will still work, but I wonder how they're going to handle letting users know about bad reports.
