WANTED: Bigred is not able to post

16 years ago

Hi I also posted this on Bigred's SASE thread but I wanted to make sure everyone knows she is having these problems.She is not able to post any messages and her attempts to email GW are being rejected as spam.I tried to email them for her and my emails have also been rejected.If anyone else has a few minutes to try to email them and let them know what is going on it would be very much aprreciated! :) I also have posted to the suggestion forum in hopes it may be seen by some one that can do something about it.Maybe by the end of the day we can get something resolved for her,thanks ahead of time for your help!:)

Hi Angie,
I was able to e-mail them about both problems using the 'Technical Problems' link rather than the 'Contact Us' link. Hopefully, it will get resolved soon; I like trading with bigred (-:

Hi Angie...I too was able to use the 'contact us' link just fine, and detailed the problems both you and bigred are having.
I also replied to your email.

I sure hope Bigred gets fixed fast. I know how that is to have things going on on the exchanges and then to have computer snaffu/woes. I had more than my share of problems this year that way.

I'm curious...when Bigred hits submit, what does it do?...maybe go to the main page instead of submitting?
That happened to me once...it seems I had posted the same info to more than one forum, and there was a spam filter thingy in place that kicked and locked me out...no big deal once I knew what I had done wrong, and promised to never do it again.
Heck, if Spiko was still in charge, I'd likely still be locked out.

Sue...who has a Spiko attitude still

This is my third wonderful trade with Peggy. I am so surprised I didn't leave a review for the other times. But each and every trade has been top-notch. Great trader all around. Look forward to doing another trade with her soon! Thanks again Peggy CMK (Christin)

I don't believe you can leave random feedback on a seller (or buyer), you have to have purchased (or sold) something. Now I suppose I could sell stuff to my friends or create fictitious accounts and write the feedback myself. Of course, you'd be paying eBay a fee for everyone one of those transactions and I have to believe that their security folks might watch for that kind of stuff. I haven't bought or sold much on eBay but what I have has been a positive experience. A few years back I was doing some Internet work for a used car dealer. A customer had mentioned that they had seen the vehicle on eBay. News to us since we didn't use eBay at the time but sure enough someone had "borrowed" the pictures and description of the vehicle from the dealership's website and actually SOLD the vehicle on eBay. I frantically tried to find a customer service phone number for eBay so that they could contact the buyer before he sent any money. Unfortunately, eBay doesn't seem to have a phone number. I sent off an email and then tried to inquire what had happened but eBay would only tell me that the matter was under investigation. The interesting part is that the vehicle was reasonably worth about $16,000 but it had sold on eBay for $9,000. When something seems to good to be true...

THANK YOU! Everyone the problem has been resolved,I am going to let Bigred know right away.Apparently what happened was exactly as Sue said.So Please people do not post the same thing in more than one area of this site. If you do you will end up locked out too! :) I am sorry that I caused so much of a problem and took up so much of your time with this,but I do appreciate being allowed back in and you will never hear of me doing this again!:)

Hey Angie...you just learned about it the hard way...just as I did myself long ago. Your post here (and everywhere else you posted...lol) has enlightened lots of folks about not posting the same thing to multiple forums.

I think it is addressed in the 'rules' somewhere...to some affect (or is it effect...never know for sure).

try contacting bakemom. I think she said she had that happen because of all her Newbie Pack emails. They thought it was spam. She got it straightened out, I believe.

Testing...can you hear me now?*G*
Hope this goes thru.

Sorry to everyone I left hanging on the Round 2. I've spent several frustrating days trying to post.

Thanks to Angie and Sue for all their help to get me back in. As far as I remember...and that's not saying much....I don't think I double posted but like I said,if I relied on MY memory,I'd be in trouble...LOL

Thanks for everyones patient waiting on seeds for sase. I'll be catching up with them. Maybe a little slow as it's TurkeyDay week and I've got lots of company coming so I'm busy doing housework,yardwork and menu planning.

Thanks again Angie and Sue,

PP
