Thank you!! I am hoping to win, it will be my very first ebay purchase!
I’m glad your computer is fixed now too! I know how much of a drag that can be. Thanks for going out of your way to give us sneak peaks!!
I like both pieces, the dragon in particular! I really like the vibrant colors, too bad the interference doesn’t show up on my screen, I bet he’s something to see in person!!!
I am sure hoping to get that Crouching Griffin Chick! It’s so cute! I hope someone can hook you up and I hope I win the one on ebay!!!

Same here! 🙁 How much did the kinglet go for??
Hawaii is at its best when you find hidden treasures like Bellows beach. I used to live there and we got to see sea turtles coming into shore. The commercial stuff is cool for a day or two but go see something like the North Shore on Oahu. It is gorgeous!!

And that way, legit people can email Windstone and ask if they can bid, and Windstone can allow that person? I think most of us that bid on Windstone’s auctions have at LEAST 5 feedbacks, or even 10. That might stop the hackers.
It might sound unfair at first, but the hackers aren’t fair to the bidders, and it is detering legi people from bidding, and in the end, is unfair to both Windstone AND the real bidders who want the item very badly.
The account that hacked my auction had like 11 positive feedback, so they would have been let into the auction. Not all the dormant accounts have low or nonexistent feedback. Also as new to ebay and the forums if I’d had to jump through a lot of hoops to be allowed to bid on the items I wanted I would probably have gotten mad and said “Ah! screw it, it’s not worth my time or frustration.”I had a zero feedback in the first several auctions I participated in and everyone thought I wasn’t real it was very frustrating, so we can’t assume that everyone bidding will have high(er) feedback. Like newfie, who’s wife won him the SKs.
With the new system of counting multiple feedbacks it’ll be easier for people to get higher feedback faster, but before it was frustrating becuase I HAD to participate in other auctions I didn’t really care about to get a higher score.
There’s also the manpower that would be necessary. If a newbie wanted to bid on an auction ending on Sunday and sent in an email request on Saturday, nobody would be at Windstone to answer it, so Windstone would lose that person and thier potential bid or they’d have to hire someone to moniter the auctions on the weekends.
I know what you mean. I am pretty new to Ebay. There is no easy solution to the hackers and it is so frustrating to sit back, watch and be totally powerless. 🙁
