Here is his Feedback.

He's got 99.4% good feedback but he sounds like a dick and could possibly cause problems.

He sent me an ebay message asking if I would take $50 shipped for my item. I have it set at $30 start bid and $50 buy now with $7 shipping. I have no problem selling it to him for $50 shipped but before I sell it to him, I would change my auction to reflect that and force him to do the buy it now for $50 shipped. That way I have at least a little protection because I won't sell outside of Ebay.

i wouldn't buy from him based on the comments, but selling should be ok if you change your price and follow the eBay rules like you are saying

He sounds like a dick? What are you talking about?

He has ZERO negative feedback from sellers, 121 positive. Who wouldn't want to sell to him?

I wouldn't let buyers dictate what they will and will not pay for. It's your auction, put what you think is fair for shipping, and let the buyers decide if it's worth it or not.

Tell him to bid to $43 so it will be $50 shipped. If someone outbids him, good for you.

How does that concern you as a seller? Are you afraid he's going to send you a 'scratched & dented' money order?

if he has no problem selling stuff as new thats obviously not new, he problably wouldn't hesitate to be dishonest in other things. i don't even know why i'm explaining myself to you.
