I totally agree this means you are becoming increasingly aware of what to watch out for!! YAY!! those are the kinds of things I love to see. I love the JL cards they are all so great, I have never seen or heard of one being used maliciously but of course any thing can be changed in the hands of evil doers. Scanning them as soon as you save it to the pc by right clicking is always the best way to go, if you can not right click and scan in your email you always have the option to save to disc rather than just open, do that, once saved immediately right click and choose to scan with your AV and or malware programs, then if clean open it if not send it to the recycle bin unopened then empty the recycle bin.

Geez, what a nightmare. Why can't people just be honest and treat others like they'd like to be treated? I just don't get it, it's not that hard. I really wanted to bid on some beautiful RL bedding, a rare style, but I really had to read between the lines and push to get info. Apparently with the shams the seller mentioned although never used, she did launder one "by mistake", but it went right back in the package. Saw no logic in that whatsoever... Since it was cotton and lace (delicate), I wondered if she dried it (which would ruin it). I emailed her asking if the washed sham had been distorted or shrank as a result. No reply. I wait a few days, auction is nearing and end, and basically email her a 'hey, I'd really like to bid, but have not received a reply to my question so I'm giving it one more try here.' That generated a response from her, she admitted that the laundered sham was 'snug' and corners 'curled', but suggested ironing would make it fit properly again. Good grief. (She failed to include that significant detail in her description, even after I asked, she didn't post my question and her answer.) Very cat and mouse. I'm glad I took time to push it, because although it was a beautiful set I might well be out the $, and it would be worthless with only one good sham (and it garnered pretty high $$). I'm watching to see what kind of feedback occurs once the buyer receives it. Anyway, back to valinsv's guy. Clearly there are major issues with some items he sells. Is he too ignorant to realize that having integrity would only bolster his business that much more? That's the part I just don't get. Treat people right, they'll keep coming back. Treat them badly as a habit and sooner or later he's going to lose. Seems to me with the type of volume he does he'd be a lot further ahead if he'd just be honest. Just curious mona if you might know: if he does get kicked off, is his IP address banned, or just his ebay ID? He seems to have such a huge system set up and selling high volume, can't see him just walking away. Could he just come back under a new ID? (Although given his business and volume and listing style, it would be easy to recognize it might be him.)

I do hope everyone got my cards. I enjoyed making them and hope they didn't get destroyed by the post office since some were on the lumpy side. Everyone on both lists should have received them. Each card was a little different and since I belong to a few forums that send out cards I probably sent out about 150 cards. Like Minnie, I start making mine early in the year and eagerly anticipate the card exchanges. They make my Christmas by keeping in touch with cyberfriends. Thank you so much for your cards everyone! I have kept all my cards since the first card exchange. Each year they all get masking taped to the doors in my house with the newest ones on the closest doors to the living room. They decorate my house so nicely at Christmas. It has been a tradition since I was a little girl to tape the cards to doors and each day I would anticipate the mailman as a child. I do love the card exchange!
