I am a stamp collector and I bid $5 on an item listed for $118. Any stamp collector knows it was worth $5 or less, just look at the same item from other vendors. When I asked why his was worth $118, he replied "Not interested." I looked at the seller's store and all of his items were supremely overpriced. I think if you bought one of his stamps, you're really buying narcotics and that in-the-know buyers know what they are really paying for. How can I get eBay to investigate this seller (item 186059582866).
Quite the awful and ridiculous accusation on your part. Full disclosure I know nothing about stamps etc... but I know enough about eBay selling. Also, no way to affirm or deny you're right about your evaluation of $5. I once had someone try to lecture me on how my item was worth $10. I sold it to a knowledgeable collector later that week for $130.
Either way, there are SO many things wrong with what you said, and so many things wrong with your assumption... I rather not get into that, especially because how can I prove a negative?.. but I really do want to stop and ask, what person, doing what you suggest they are doing, lists 7,700+ items? Seriously?
I see people with items ridiculously over priced all the time. There is one in particular who comes to mind. First, if you see, they have a $50 off $200 coupon.... that right there is an acknowledgement of how overpriced they are. I don't understand or agree with the methods and business practices employed, I've seen a number of people who over price to offer RIDICULOUS discounts ... to each their own.
However, the conclusions you jumped to are insanely inflammatory and ... I don't even know what to further say about that ... and you should just let this individual be, and move on and go about your business. A seller is entitled to ask whatever they want, a buyer is entitled to choose who they do NOT do business with. That's where their respective entitlements end. Buyers who don't like what a seller is asking or an item or the item they are advertising, those buyers may walk away, and are entitled to nothing beyond that privelege.
