Sounds like both companies are passing the buck......Pretty tick poor in my opinion.

Why did they post it F/S again?

labman · Jan 4, 2009

props for them putting the auction up. people are probably only looking at the photo. oh pretty coral must bid.. have to add it to my watch list for fun..

I'm surprised ebay hasn't killed the auction.

oceaninabox · Jan 4, 2009

NO.......The people are bidding out of pitty because the guy got shafted. I am actually going to bid and post him an email trying to get him back in the good graces of buying coral on ebay since I do it partially for a living. I need customers like him. Buys nice stuff and expects what he buys to come professionally packaged. why not help him out.

oceaninabox · Jan 4, 2009

Im thinking the same thing, but ebay may not kill it since it does have bids. The one thing he has going against him is the auction does not have anything tangable for sell.

Hopefully they are bidding just to raise the bid count or something to bring more attention to the auction (like this topic has).

Sucks to be that guy. That makes three topics I've read about this week with people getting ripped by online sellers (whether via website or eBay).

The seller in this case is Exotic Frags, who is one of the best vendors you will ever buy from. He would never do to anyone what was done to him. I feel badly for him as he is one of the good guys.

I wonder what would happen if we all sent Paypal and Ebay a email about this?
If they got say 50 emails would they care then?

Yes, they would probably care and then they would restrict the selling of corals on Ebay.

That's not ExoticFrags. EF is located in Central/Northern California. This guy is located in SoCal and has an "_" between the words.

Thanks for the correction Kenny. I didn't realize that. I certainly would be confused if they offered something legitimate for sale. Having had such a good experience with "Whodah" I would be tempted to bid.
