Due to the amount of screwing I and other az members have taken on ebay would any members and the moderator agree to starting a list of shady ebay dealers? Sort of a consumer protection section of the forum.

Great idea mnorwood. The listing could be a sticky post with a disclaimer that the posted complaints are one persons opinion/experience.

There are inherent problems with a "list" like requested.

Who's job is it to prove and refute claims made? Who assumes the liability?

He said, she said, I sent an email 5 min ago and never heard back from you....it was never even chalked...it was in pristine condition....

multiplied by 10X.

We already thrash these things out pretty good, I thought.
 
There has been a big stink about negative comments regarding www.petswarehouse.com posted on the aquatic plants (as in for fish tanks) mailing list, which resulted in a litany of lawsuits. I'm pretty sure the guy (Robert Novak) hasn't won any of them and the lawsuits are totally frivolous, but you can imagine the legal expenses.

Wonder what the other Side of the Story is:

Roy get a
Poor Taste AWARD for this IMO.....:o

If the guy feels he has been screwed, he has a right to state his side of the story. Mr. Engles, likewise, can state his rebuttal, if he feels the claim is not valid. Since Roy has advertised his accusation on the website of his business, I believe Mr. Engles would have legal recourse to seek damages for libel, if Roy cannot substantiate his accusation. Obviously, if Roy is lying, his warning message is reprehensible, but if not, I don't see how it is in poor taste.
