I actually rather enjoy the trolling on eBay when it comes to offers, all my listings are Best Offer. I never, ever engage the trolls though, I let my counter-offers do the talking. I really, really wish eBay would allow you to counter-offer above your original list price, but they have no sense of humor

I used to do the same thing. I would get a low-ball offer, I would counter with 20-25%off the asking price. They would go even lower, then I would lower it by a penny from original asking price lol. Good times.

Iām beginning to think this is a scammer trying to gaslight you into selling the book lower, because they missed outā¦
Probably doing the same thing to all the other sellers of the book with it similarly priced.
Which just begs you to question their mental stabilityā¦and makes for an easy block.
Iām not going to block the other names, but will monitorā¦Iād be curious if any approach me.
What I did do was check the copy I sold for well under (as it sold shortly after new hit) to see if it was this guyā¦because that would have been a sweet āgotchaā moment if he was caught trying to by more copies after he already had one.
But alas, not that guy.

the thing I keep reminding myself of is comic book people are weird, come onā¦ we have all seen some of these people at consā¦ one of us may be those weirdos ourselves. But when dealing with this type of person, we have to expect a bit of this.
I will say I think David Bitterbaum hit it on the head when he said its like the guy in a bar telling a girl she is ugly and fat, but he guesses he can throw her a bone and take her home for the night

To be able to pull that pickup line off, youād better have a lot of money and be showing it offā¦.or at least pretend you have a lot of moneyā¦.
Money makes anyone look more attractiveā¦and people not hear what theyāre sayingā¦
Given the amount of people who buy off eBay, I would not get upset over this idiot. It would not surprise me if those other accounts were his, or at least his friends. They can trash you all they want, but your feedback is 100% and 99.9999% of all the people buying comics on eBay have no idea what this guy is saying or doing anywhere else on the internet.

Think about how much smaller his perspective seller bade has gotten. I bet far smaller than your perspective buyer base.
Iām sure most reasonable people can read such comments and know exactly what type of person this isā¦ And Iād have to also guess that this person operates on multiple accounts to make it seem like itās more, unless all their friends are as miserable as they are but my common sense says, this type doesnāt have a bunch of āfriendsāā¦

Can you imagine people you know coming up to you and asking you to help spam a seller on eBay because they were selling collectibleās in a condition you didnāt agree with?
Think about itā¦I donāt know if thatās more pathetic than creating multiple shill accounts to do it all by your lonesome.
I guess the first one is patheticā¦.the second one is just sadā¦

Question. If you block someone, and then send an offer, Iām guessing that the blocked person wonāt get that offer. Right?
I blocked someone many months back, and I went to send an offer to watchers, and it threw an error message. āCouldnāt deliverā or something like that, and I KNEW it was trying to go to that user.
Anyway, I always send offers out to people when they are eligible. I have a TON piled up right now, but Iāve been afraid to send any because I donāt want them going to the asshats that were trolling me this week.
We should experimentā¦one of us temporarily block the other and try a few thingsā¦
Youād think if you blocked someone it would remove the. From watching your itemā¦but maybe eBay is not that smartā¦
I mean, even if they did get an offer, it wouldnāt be transactable, as they canāt engage with my account. And, you canāt transfer that to another account. So, asshat 1 couldnāt send that offer to his other fake account. So, itās probably safe?

I mentioned previously and not too long ago what is allowed and not allowed when you block a user.
They can practically do everything until it comes to actually buying your item, then they are blocked. It doesnāt block messages, them from viewing, etc.
I can confirm that if youāve messaged with someone before and then block them they will still message you. Usually to complain about how theyāre blocked.
You can block someone and they can still message you, even if youāve never messaged prior.
