Sellers are suckers.

[valdoe]

Yes I am a seller and sell different accounts for different type of items I sell.

We all now know that as April 8 postal charges have changed.

All items will have tracking on them when sent through the post office.

That a good thing as it proves the seller has sent the item...

Is it not when listing on ebay a contract between the seller and buy. Ebay has set the rules and 99% of sellers abide by the rules.

I see a lot of comments that a seller to protect his items should pay  for a signature and or or insure items because of value etc

Times are tough and competition.. profit margins for most are lean.

Why is it when give a buyer a list options 

Proof of delivery and or insurance and the buy does not take or want to take any option have a recourse on the seller.

I had one case where I required a signature and got message back never received. On checking I was told by the buyer that is not my signature..

3 things could have happen.

1. Incorrectly delivered and signed for

2. Some one else in the household signed for it.. eg room mate etc

3. A dishonest employee signed it.

Should I be responsible? Personally I refuse to replace item when I have proof that I sent the item.

The question is, if you offer signature and insurance who do you think is responsible if no option taken?

Well I think I proved my point..

This post had 412 posts and would you believe that only 20 took the time to fill the pole..

What wrong with people... ?

Um did you mean 412 VIEWS & only 20 people were interested enough to take part in your POLL ?

There are only 9 POSTS on this THREAD-mine will make 10.

proves that only 1% of people find the Polls even slightly interesting... the majority of us think they are just annoying

Yes 10 commented to the post.. but you can see also over 400 seen the post. 

You would think they read the post and at least take a few seconds to answer the poll so people could see what they thought.

It seems people are only interested when they have a problem.

I'm not interested in filling in polls.

As already said above:  most people find the polls stupid and would not waste their time on them, those who do click on one of the options usually click just to see what people selected, and as the top one is, well, on the top it gets clicked on more often.  Polls are useless, even if  this one actually makes more sense than most.

I think you'll find the the number of views is the total number, not unique members' views.

ie. If I've looked at this thread 5 times over its life, then that's 5 views. Which will translate into a maximum of 1 vote.

Do you mean over 400 people saw the post?

However grammatically correct you make the statement it doesn't prove that anyone read past the opening post!

[i-once-was-bump]

I didn't see an answer in the poll that was in line with my opinion on the matter.

You asked the question and you provided the answers, why would anyone bother with the poll?

[valdoe]

I expressed my opinion.. and I wanted to know what others thought..

The number of views on a thread is not directly related to the number of members that have viewed it.

One person opening a thread twice = 2 views, so if someone has visited this thread (and voted, which can only be done once), all subsequent visits are still added to the tally. Plus it also includes "views" by bot crawls (eg Google / Yahoo bots, probably even spam bots).
