GB. Com offers a venue for those us in CA to sell firearms and accessories.
I've sold AKs, I got a good price for my DR 200 - I'm getting rid of guns I don't shoot, but can't sell in CA. I'm getting old, and I don't want my wife to be left with an arsenal worth thousands of dollars because she won't know how to cash them in after I "cash in."
But I recently listed an item, got good bids, but the winning bidder was a CA resident.
I asked him why he bid on it, and he starts telling me a "secret, legal" way that I can sell it to him. I told him he had wasted my time and cost me a legitimate sale by bidding on something I couldn't sell him.
He went ballistic. Because he was the auction winner, he was immediately given access to all my contact info: phone, address, email address etc. he began making threats (I can handle that), but he goes to my feedback and posts a 'D' and even truly stated that I was a jerk because I wouldn't cooperate with him in an illegal transaction.
I blocked him as a future bidder and relisted the item. But I've got that big red 'D' on the top of my feedback. I doubt that most people will understand what he was complaining about.
I want the unqualified feedback, the 'D' removed. I have a lot of other items listed, and it doesn't exactly attract bidders. But GB.com says I have to file a Non-Paying Bidder report. The 'D' will stay up there while I go thru a 90 day process of recovering my posting and Final Value Fee, then they will review my feedback.
I told them they could keep their commission off a sale that was illegal to make. I told them to read the reason that clown stated for giving me the 'D' - he admits he was attempting to circumvent the law.
But GB.com says it isn't their policy to remove feedback until they've refunded my money. They're protecting him to protect twelve dollars in commission.
