Re: Aquabid vs F&EL

["william ruyle" <ruyle at highstream_net>]

A person without a sense of ethics won't be
bothered by adhering to the COE, either. With feedback,  buyer or seller can
warn others by posting their experiences
concerning that particular individual. It's a
fat lip that stays on their record--there's very
few circumstances that Aquabid will remove
a negative remark. I feel it's a more immediate and proactive mechanism than
chiding someone to adhere to the COE. Those that have negative comments that
I
feel are justifiable (comments from different
buyers, not one unreasonable jerk) I stay away from, no matter if they are
selling something I want. I like the fact that the buyer
or seller's track record is right out in the open, for everyone to see and
judge accordingly.
