How do you feel about deals posted from eBay?

Do you have an automatic down vote response or ignore it all together or something else? Auction vs Buy it now?

To qualify here on deals.woot (I don't know the exact specs):
It must be a listing, NOT an auction.
Seller must have good % feedback and a large number of feedbacks.

As long as they qualify, I have no problems with them!

No problem with them as long as they are a listing, and a deal.

While I don't necessarily have a problem with eBay deals as long as they play by the rules, I usually end up avoiding/ignoring them.

However, if I saw something I really wanted for an amazing deal, I might give it a shot and pay attention to it.

I always ignore them, unless I'm VERY sure that it's someone extremely shady, in which case I'll go on a downvoting streak like there's no tomorrow. I don't have anything against them, mostly, but I have no interest in them, either.

I feel precisely the same about Amazon Storefront deals, though. If I see an Amazon deal, and I click on it, and it's not really from Amazon, I am annoyed. I may make a snarky comment (or not), but I definitely won't vote it up.

I'm not arguing against either kind of deal being posted. I'm merely stating what I will or won't vote for.

I downvote when someone posts their entire ebay inventory. Otherwise, I never upvote (or downvote) them because I don't want to take the time to investigate the listing. Been an ebayer for almost 10 years now and have had my share of bad shakes. The last couple of years it has gotten to be much worse, with all the knockoffs and counterfeits and the trend toward ridiculous "dream" pricing (as in, only in your dreams would someone pay that for your item). /ebayrant

Interesting, I was about to post a similar question.
Glad I searched to see if any current Ebay questions were up.
More so regarding a purchase on Ebay I was about to make...
and the seller has a great rep, but... I'm just not comfortable with Ebay (nor paypal). 10+ years ago I used to use it, but it looks like a much different animal these days.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
