This is a question for both eBayer's and eBay management.
The question we would like to ask is what is proper way to deal with unreasonable and manipulator eBay buyer:
Here is the case I met, hope this will also ring a bell for other eBayers:
The issue starts like this:
We are new to eBay but not new in the business world. We had a store for 3 years and I have been in a position of store manager for over 7 years.
From the messages the buyer delivered, we saw a manipulator trying to get everything out of nothing by threatening a new eBay seller to give a negative feedback!
We would like to know eBay professional's advice and other sophisticated eBay sellers' opion!
Thank you very much!
An item for which the seller cancelled my order shows under my unpaid items. When I click on it under Unpaid items, it says Order was cancelled, my shopping cart is empty, nothing in purchase history about it. Email from e-bay says that the order was cancelled and I do not need to do anything more about it. So now I can't place any bid on anything cause a message pops up that I can not bid as I have an unpaid item I need to pay for first. I can not mark this item as paid, seller can not mark it as paid, there is no such option in there anymore as it is supposed to be cancelled order, yet it is in my unpaid items banning me from bidding now...I'm basically stuck and have no idea what to do, please help! Thanks

Can anyone tell me who this maker is, Is it Native ?? It is signed 925 with what appears to be SOM, it is very heavy and quite large, it weighs 5.3 ounces, it is 4 1/4" by 1 1/2" by 1" thick, i assume the stone is quartz??
I know it's the holidays but I was unaware they offered alcoholic beverages and or Nyquil to the postal workers.
Also just for laughs, I'm in Michigan.
Does anyone happen to have one of these mostly round ab faceted crystal damgles laying wround? Im missing one
it measure approx 8 mm tall, and 7 mm wide. Thanks!
Nice and wide at 1+1/2" across, art glass and rhinestones, no marks though.
Any ideas who who may have made it ?
Good morning every one.
I have a negative of an amusement pier, but have not been able to figure out the location. On the side of the pier is says ".....on earth a playground of innocent amusement for young and old". Probably last teens or early 20's. I think there are two piers side by side. Thanks in advance for the help.
In looking for a crystal bead for Cleio this morning..I realized I have waaaaay too much bits & pcs strictly for harvest, that I will prob never need. For sure time to clean house!
I guesstimate prolly 7-8 lbs (after removing any true cwap like chains or something that is totally useless) of different types of stones, etc..a mix of vtg & newer in this broken stuff. There will prolly even be some items that could be fixed..don`t plan on scrutinizing it very close
So I`m wondering where is the best place to put it? I don`t even mind doin 2 categories . I tried to search it out (big Ha Ha!) & I see this kind of 'harvest stuff' listed in too many different categories
or would I be better off pullin out all the good vintage harvest item & listing it alone?
Thanx for any advice
Heres a quick shot
I'm trying to figure out if they're anything special. They're cultured, you can see the "seed" in some of them that didn't close properly, but the nacre is really thick. They're not cheap Chinese freshwaters for sure.
Not sure if these are easy to ID, no maker's mark. it measures 3" x 1 3/4", thanks for your help.
I find this genre fascinating and until I began collecting these books, I realized that this isn't a new idea/theme/genre...it goes back to at least the 1950's.
Title: Secret Places of the Lion
Author: George Hunt Williamson

Edition: First American edition
Early traditions speak of the arrival of radiant beings from heaven, self-sacrificing guardians of the human race who have reincarnated as pivotal figures in the panorama of human history to assist in the work of evolution. Secret Places of the Lion shows how these great ones have helped mankind for thousands of years, hiding their secrets in tombs, caverns, temple ruins, and catacombs. Posing as wanderers, they would declare universal wisdom and truth at certain periods of history when people were prepared to receive it; then they would withdraw for a time to see what was done with the new-found knowledge. Thus, the rises and plateaus of our cultural history emerged

Author: Brinsley Le Poer Trench

Edition: First Edition & Signed by author
According to Trench in this book The Sky People, Adam and Eve, Noah any many of the other characters from the Bible originally lived on Mars. Trench believed that Adam and Eve were experiment creations of extraterrestrials. His claim was that the Biblical description of the Garden of Eden was inconsistent with what was on Earth and as Mars contained canals, that the Garden of Eden must have been located on Mars. He further claimed that the north polar ice cap melted on Mars, and this caused the descendants of Adam and Eve to move to Earth.
Looks to me that it is Minton Florentine, but it is only incised ENGLAND and the red marks. Any idea if this is really Minton or not? It was sold to me as Minton, but I want to make sure that it is so I don't get a SNAD defect. Thanks.
When I bought this guy he was a black bear, but after a couple days of soaking and scrubbing with a toothbrush his true colors are now showing. I have found several bears similar on websites all asking a pretty penny, but this one is different to all the examples I could find. It only measures 8 3/4" high. It is hand finished as all 4 paws, both ears, all four teeth, the tongue and the handle held by his paw have all been attached seperately and are not part of a mold. There are no holes and it appears the honey was placed in the blue bowl and ran down the bears face and off his nose. I can find no marks or anything like it on-line. The few similar pieces are all 11 1/2" tall, molded one piece and are thought to be either Adams & Brimley or Holdcroft.
I would appreciate any help or ideas. Thank you for looking.

Hi - does anyone recognize the mark on this small pottery creamer. Maybe DLC or PLC? I've looked around some on-line and looked through the C section of Lehner's U.S. Marks book.
Thanks for any help!
I have this Hanna Andersson top that looks like a long john top but the tag doesn't mention flammable material which is common for sleepwear. Do I just list it as a regular top or can it actually be a long john top?
Got this at auction. It was called as Waterford; it was in a lot of 15 pieces. I can't find any marking on it. What do the Waterford experts think? Thanks!
Does anyone know what this table is for? It has a couple of cut outs. I'm posting this for my cousin, so am posting the only photo I have of it. Thank you in advance!
Hi all! This is Orion. He's a Harrier.
Hoping someone has some more information regarding identyfing nordic ware cake egg molds
I listed and sold an aluminum egg mold that was unmarked. It came with directions and the directions were for a nordic ware egg mold
The buyer is asking if nordic ware sold unmarked eggs
all other unmarked eggs are sold as such, but they did not come with the directions taped to the egg. So the other sellers could not list as nordic ware, since it was not marked
I cannot find any other similar egg mold on ebay that were produced by any other specific company
The same on the internet
I also cannot find the directions for these molds anywhere on ebay which tells me most were lost
I contacted the Nordic ware co and have not heard back
The only ones on ebay that are unmarked, look like nordic ware
There are very few of either sold on ebay
Does anyone know of any other company that produced these eggs, same dimensions, appearance as nordic ware?
I would think that if there were other companies, there would be information either on ebay or the internet
Other sellers would have identified these unmarked eggs and would haves sold as produced by that company
I also find it hard to believe that someone would have the directions to a nordic ware mold and an unmarked mold made by another company, together
Just playing the devils advocate

I bought an item from someone and paid them an extra $15 to put Flat Rate Priority Shipping, which they did. (1-3 day shipping) And it's already been 2 days and today would be the third. The tracking on the USPS site hasn't updated since the day it was shipped (December 18, 2014). It's been stuck at "Departed Post Office", does USPS not update tracking or something? I usually use UPS and it updates just fine.
I'm just a baking fool today. Brownies anyone?
Can someone tell me if this pen is a real Montblanc ball pen?
It has written on the silver ring "Montblanc Ballograf", as well as on the cartridge.
Can't find a similar one to check the "model"...
Thanks in advance.
Why does not I get confirmation email mail after buying?
The item no; 251184884183
I don't know where to being to find this. I googled the initials, but no luck.
Not sure if this is a good place to post this question - but maybe. I've researched this some but found TMI - I wonder if anyone here can shed some light on how to date this jar.
Bottom reads: Trade Mark Lightning Putnam with the number 409 or 419 - the middle number is hard to decipher. Marks on the lid are as follows: PAT 2 JAN. 5. 75, REIS and a small D JUNE 5. 77.
Anyone know what all those numbers mean ... especially the ones on the lid?
TIA for any info.
Not sure if the mark is Japanese or Chinese, the earrings are marked K14 AND K.T and also have a Japanese hallmark, pearls are beautiful and they have a high quality finish. thanks in advance for your help.

i have a very sucessful amazon store and was suspended on ebay forever ive opened cases and what not is there any way to get back on i also buy 5000 worth of stuff or more every 3 months any help would be appreciated
As a new seller (this is my buying ID) I sold all my stuff I had laying around--those of which I no longer have any use of. It was easy since I know all about the item and it's performance, and an easy profit since it is not inventory. So far I have been almost perfect here and really enjoy doing this as a hobby seller. Now I need inventory. I am constantly looking for quality stuff I can get free from friends and relatives (I never thought I be this way--looking at other people's stuff to sell). So anyways it is a trial and error process. I would stumble into buying something that is useful then think that maybe if I can find a source of good used items, I can sell it. So far I have found that selling Men's clothes is a very low scam and decent profit venture but finding quality (no defects--like new) items are hard to find. My goal now is to become a better picker. Get inventory that moves and that caters to low scam buyers. I am picky about the stuff I get for listing (don't get very used worn items with defects) but really have not found good sources or items that fit the bill. Hopefully one day I will get there but it is a long hard road to find those items I can turn a profit and not encounter scam buyers. It is sad that one can only sell in narrow categories where the items are comparatively low risk, can get a decent profit but has to be a low dollar amount. I wish Ebay would be more proactive in dealing with scammers so we all can make money here.
With Christmas just around the corner leaves not many days left for sellers to get that package to the buyers before Christmas.
How sellers are selling items for .99 with $2.30 shipping cost and making any profit is beyond me.Not including shipping Priority to buyers to receive the package before Christmas.To me that sounds like a mission impossible!...
I shipped a package today and it costed me $5.11 Priority mail and it was a small box size of a bar of soap under 1 lb..The package was going to a buyer that was within 100 miles from me.How these seller competitors are able to ship a item costing only $2.30 on a .99 item I am bumb founded with wonders how they do it?$2.30 and get the package to the buyer before Christmas is another wonder of it's own.
The long story,
I decided to try selling cologne & perfumes.I found these at buck stop store for a buck a each.I said to my self at that time wow,Jordache Cologne & Perfume for a buck each?Jordache is a known product.I thought,humm could I sell these on eBay and double my money?So,I bought only 10 of these just to give it a try.
Again,I only paid $1.00 for each cologne.I thought,if I could sell these asking for $2.00 each I would be doubling my money.I thought why be greedy selling these when I only paid a buck each.I charged $3.99 shipping flat to all buyers.I thought with shipping a package the size of a bar of soap would only cost about $3.99 tops shipping Priority mail.O-boy was I wrong!
Behold,I got a sale today.I went to print shipping label.eBay charged me $5.11 to ship this package cologne.With only a 13 % discount on shipping not 30% as I was normally getting from eBay shipping in the past months.I thought at that time of thinking of $3.99 shipping eBay was gonna give me that 30% discount.I learned other wise they only gave me 13 % not 30%.This caused me to under estimate shipping cost.
Not only that,
Now I learn that your not allowed to ship cologne priority mail.Strange news to me!..I shipped motor oil cans last month with no issues.
To make this long story shorter,
I see sellers selling these same Jordache colognes on eBay as we speak.These sellers are stating in their listings (Order Now!.Get it before Christmas!).
Since your not allowed to ship cologne Priority mail or express mail.It's Dec,17th.How in the world can these sellers state in their listing "Get it before Christmas"?Unless they are in fact shipping priority mail!..
Competitors on eBay are selling these colognes for .99 and only asking $2.30 shipping and making profit?How?
eBay takes 10% final value and another 10% final value on shipping cost.Not including PayPal's 2.9 % fees.I don't see any profit left for these sellers to be doing this?It's like if thses sellers are getting these product for free and selling making only a buck if their lucky.
How is this possible?
Recently I started looking at buying/selling magazines on E-Bay. I am amazed at how many Sellers are posting magazines with Media Mail rates. It makes it difficult to figure out the true value/price of magazines when they are selling at the Media Mail rate because magazines DO NOT QUALIFY FOR MEDIA MAIL.
Is there any LEGITIMATE way you can offer magazines at Media Mail rates?
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
I purchased a "tempered glass screen protector" for my HTC Desire phone - it doesn't fit. I left negative feedback that this product does not fit my phone as product description said it would. emailed me that I shouldn't have left negative feedback before contacting them (this is true) and that they would give me a full refund (a whopping $5.00) if I REVISED my feedback. This is almost a month ago. I am not going to revise my feedback and lie to Ebay purchasers that this is a great product when it is not.
Now, because I didn't revise my feedback, they said they will ONLY refund me if I send the product back. Send a piece of glass back to China - that is going to cost me a lot more than the glass itself.
Here is the message from them:
I'm really annoyed.
For all the known reasons I never leave feedback for a buyer till I receive feedback.
I received the following message from a buyer this morning.
"Item received! Very fast shipping! Thanks! Can you please leave positive feedback for me? Once I receive it, I will do the same for you."
How would you respond to this nicely,but letting her know she needs to leave feedback first.
Hi, I sold a tablet on the 6th and the buyer just opened a case saying they haven't received it. The tracking number shows that it was delivered on the 12th:
Delivered Dec-12-14, 14:26 PM, MIAMI, FL 33178
What should I do now? They never contacted me directly, just opened a case against me. Since it's marked as delivered I should be okay right? I haven't done anything yet, I know from past experiences to come here first for advice! It's item # 201227543212 by the way.
I had a buyer who bid on an item and did not pay. I have unpaid item assistant set up to send unpaid item reminder after 4 days. Ebay then gives buyer 4 additional days for a total of 8. This buyer "says" they sent me a message through Ebay contact seller which I never received asking me if they could wait and pay later. Had a received it, I would have turned off the unpaid item assistant for that transaction as I have done in the past. So they did not pay, I got a final value fee credit and they got an unpaid item strike. On the 9th day buyer contacts me upset stating that they had asked me to wait for payment (which I hae no record of). I had already A) Relisted the item and received a bid on it and B) Blocked this buyer as I do for all buyers who do not pay since I CANT leave negative feedback. This buyer is not harrassing me with repeated insulting messages through Ebay which I have reported but to no avail. My question is, can this buyer who did not pay and received an unpaid item strike, still leave me negative feedback?
I paid for a set of 2006 Pink Label Wizard of Oz dolls. I should have looked at the feedback for this seller. Apparently, whoever this is, it seems they are trying to sell the same set of dolls to various buyers and no one has got the set. The seller also is not responding to any emails. Some are saying this is a scam. Anyone else buy this set from this seller? They ruined my Christmas surprise by being on Ebay and agreeing to sell this. And now there is no way to get the $100 back before Christmas to buy my granddaughter another gift. I will never buy anything else from Ebay. I don't understand how this seller is still allowed and why can I not open a complaint. It has been 10 days and the item still shows not shipped. I am so mad right now, I could just scream!!!!!!!!!!
I had a bidder want to cancel his bid because he wasn't sure the item was authentic. Since it was a high price item i decided to get it authenticated so i ended the auction early. Just before that happened another bid came in. Now ebay is charging me 66.00 fee for and ending the auction early. Can i do anything about this fee. Please help i am retired on a fixed income so this is alot of money for me to pay out. HEL
I've recently sold a leather handbag: $34.00, Shipping $5.35, Ebay and PayPal Fees $4.99.
Shipped on December 15, buyer got item on 17th and today has started return process claiming the item smells like cigerette smoke and airing it out didn't work, so the item is Defective and Doesn't Work, in note buyer told me item is not as described.
The return shipping will be whatever the buyer chooses to pay to ship handbag back, I'll have to reimburst shipping.
As is, I've "lost" $10.34, return shipping will be atleast $5.35 if buyer chooses cheapest option; as well as losing my $23.66 profit.
Is this buyer remorse and the buyer was emberassed to list that as their reason to return; is their claiming "Defective and Doesn't Work" ( like the item was an electronic) an attempt to avoid any supposed negative feedback if buyer is afraid of potentailly receiving negative feedback; do I get any of my fees back or am I just going to have to take a $15.69, at minimum, hit?
What do I do????
Greetings fellow Ebayers,
I've recently caught the "Coach Bug" and purchased several in the last few weeks. I've been thrilled with most, with one huge exception.
The very first bag I won was the last one delivered and sadly it is a genuine fake! I was shocked and sad as I paid $132. for it. The immediate signs were 1: The Coach emblem on the front is crooked- VERY crooked. 2. The color is a very bright metallic purple(I already purchased a metallic purple/Iris and this is not it!) 3. The patch inside is No..4C 9911 a simple google reveals this is never a genuine number. 4. The lining is too large for the bag, it moves around & bunches up and it's a cheap stiff light pink satin.
Needless to say I am sad! More sad than angry because I kind of liked the color. I initiated a "Not As Described" due to fake/counterfit refund request and the seller has agreed to refund my money. **Fingers crossed that actually happens when I send the item back.**
My question is this: Do I leave feedback on the seller that they sold me a fake Coach? Or should I not do that since they agreed to refund? They currently have 37 feedbacks, 100% positive. I'm not sure what the rules are regarding this so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Also how do I help prevent this person from relisting & selling this item all over again?
It was my first auction and now that I've done a little research, I can even spot the signs of a fake in the listing photos. Live and learn I suppose.
Thanks A bunch Pika
Okay since I have not had one before I thought maybe I should ask before moving forward.
75.00 purchase on Dec 4th and the chargeback just opened with Paypal for the reason of unauthorized use of a CC.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
So i recently sold a handheld gaming console, which was in working order and I had checked before I had shipped. I kept very good care of it. Now we're still in the pending process for payment so this item was shipped very recently.
Now the buyer is telling me this handheld is not charging, I am a computer tech also and believe this said buyer tried to charge when it was cold. Which could ultimately mess with said console and even if it didn't do any damage. Trying to use a cold electronic wouldnt work in the first place (take a laptop outside leave it there for 30 minutes, i guarantee you can't turn it on if you live in a cold state until it reaches room temperature)
This buyer is asking for a return, and i am a new seller, so I am asking the general ebay public for their input. I would like to continue giving people the best customer service as I am getting into this. Do i return it? This item could have been damaged now due to the buyer, and how is the process for insurance via USPS if this was actually a shipping issue?
I apologize for the length of this post, but thanks for reading
My winning bidder lives in Canada, however,my listing clearly states "ships to United States." He is asking for an invoice before payment.What to do now?
can you please tell me if this kate spade is eal ? what is the name of the bag/tote. thank you in advance for your help.")
I found a type of old book we had when kids that was interested in getting for our granddaughter. But because the listing said shipping was over $6... BEFORE .. bidding I messaged her asking if she would be willing to offer less expensive 1st Class or Media Mail ship option if I was to bid, and she messaged me back she would be happy to.
I won for 99cents but invoice after only stated the over $6 ship price. So I sent 'request total from seller' with reminder she said she would offer less expensive shipping option if I were to bid. She said she would resend me invoice. She sent same invoice with same high ship amount. I have messaged her several times with reminders and getting no response. I offered every time to just cancel transaction if too much trouble so she could relist but 1st time she wrote she'd send new invoice she just needed the reminder, and this last time have had no response. I tried to choose to cancel from my end but page states I can not. It has been 7 days since sale and my fear now is that she is just going to let me get a non-paying bidder strike. And I do not want to pay over $6 to have an old children's book shipped, would never had bid had she not assured me she would offer less expensive ship option. I have all messages & emails to back all this up. I hate to call eBay and ask them to step in, so if seller does end up letting us get a no pay strike will I be able to explain all to eBay afterwards to get it removed?
Hi everyone,
How do you decide when to place a protective jacket like Brodart or Gaylord over a dust jacket? Is there a certain price point, condition (fine to protcect it or chipped/tears to stop them spreading), age, genre?
An old bookdealer told me a protective jacket does not add any monetary value, but it increases the speed it sells at in his brick & mortar shop.
Does the same apply online?
Had a user leave us 2 negative feedbacks recently stating "poor comunication, items made in china, tried to save money on shipping". I found the "poor communication" part odd because they never sent us a message prior or after the sale, as I made the initial contact to them after I saw the feedback (their replies were in odd, broken English, so a feedback revision has gone nowhere so far). They purchased a couple of cheap items that are were obviously produced in China, and he had left similiar negative feedback to other sellers. Anyway, I got to poking around the "Order Details" screen and noticed the "Buyer note to seller" notation at the top of that screen, but I had never noticed that there before. On both of their items they put in that note "If you can not discout please ship as separate box. Thanks!", so I guess that was the "poor communication" they spoke of in their feedback. I'm not sure if this was one of those periods (like today!) when the Ebay combined shipping calculator is out of commision or if this buyer just didn't know and paid for the items separately, but it showed up as 2 seperate items/orders.
So, where else is this "Buyer note to seller" visible? We process anywhere from 100 to sometimes 400 shipments a day and use ShipWorks shipping software, so we can't hang out on Ebay and read every order detail screen, but I would rather avoid this again if possible.
I have defects that are old. I am on 12 months standard, but find it hard to beleive nothing has fallen off in 3 months. How can we check on these dates. I called Ebay and they would not even tell me if something was due to fall off.
A seller is threatening to report me to the 3 credit bureau over the insertion fees, is this something they can do?
I'm sorry for the length, but I'm really stumped, so here goes:
I purchased a little silver ring from a seller located in Armenia on the evening of Nov 2nd....knowing that it may take approx around a month to get here, I still wanted it as it was unique & the only (simple yet elegant) Calla Lily ring I could find. (My Sister loves Calla Lilies) I wanted to get this to her for Christmas. The auction stated that the ring should arrive between Nov 25th-Dec 12th.
I have been purchasing on Ebay since 98' and have made many overseas purchases & I usually get my items from England approx 2 weeks & China or Australia approx 2-3 weeks. Going off of my past experiences, I figured that it if took a month, or a bit longer to arrive at my residence in San Diego, CA, then I'd still have time to ship it off to my sister before Christmas....(I took in to consideration slow shipping this time of year)....but it seems that my ring may not have left Armenia after 44 days, still?
That being said, again, the Ebay auction info said that the ring should be expected between by Nov 25th - Dec 12th at latest. After paying for it, I kept checking back on the tracking, since I wasn't notified when the ring was shipped. The tracking# numberRR154905585AM continued to show the same message since Nov 10th....... "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" (on Ebay) & (USPS showed this) "We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece". The messages have stayed the same, ever since.
*For the record: I wasnt' sure exactly what this meant, till I called the post office & had it clarified. I wondered if it meant the seller purchased shipping, but hadn't mailed it off yet? I was told that it could be that.....or it could also mean that the seller did indeed drop off the package, but that the package is now stuck in a freight container awaiting more parcels to meet the weight or numbers quota, to make the trip worthwile financially, before finally being shipped to the US.
By December 1st, a little concerned that still I heard nothing....but still considering I had 9 days to go till Dec 12th.....I decided to contact my seller (nicely) and asked it the item had shipped out yet, since it had been a while & the message remained unchanged.
I should note that I had to go through the Ebay system which said that I still had 11 days to go till (Dec 12th final waiting date)....but because I wanted to contact the seller anyway, my message was automatically headed to the seller that buyer requesting a sale cancel or refund. Due to this, the automated header....which I did not want, needing just communicate w/ my seller & ensure the item was shipped...... I made this clear to the seller, that I still wanted the ring...but just needed some clairification & info.
The seller said that the item was sealed in an envelope on Nov 8th and should be in the USA by now (Dec 1st) and likely enroute to me as we speak. Also that I should have it by the final waiting time date (Nov 25th - Dec 12th). The seller also advised me that it was out of their hands and the auction can't be cancelled since the item should be in the US in the next 10 days and they would have nothing if they refunded & I would likely have the ring & the refund. Understandable.......
On the other hand, I do feel that I have been fairly patient + I didn't want to dog this seller & jump the gun if not warranted.....but now I am looking at 1 full week past Dec. 12th & well over 44 days since paying for the item. Worse yet, I know that I can't ship this to my Sister, by Christmas....unless it arrives no later than Monday & I will still likely pay through the nose to have it shipped. Shame on me, I know....but I just assumed that this overseas shipment wouldn've been on the same time frame as the others, expecting 4 weeks maximum.
Now that you have the details, I wanted to know if I am jumping the gun, or am I not being concerned enough? I am a pretty laid back buyer & try to be as patient as possible. The shipping time frame seems a bit extended, in my opinion....& with no real tracking to boot.
I guess my real questions are: What are my options...since it seemed to me, from the response I got from my seller, that this was basically out of their hands & I am poop out of luck, till it arrives....when it arrives. I also have not contacted the seller since Dec. 1st, but am now getting a little tired of the waiting game, especially now that the ring is a week overdue from the final date. Worse yet: I cannot find out the location of this ring, till it just shows up one day & worse yet....there is no way to track it's location. It is becoming even clear that I won't be able to get this to my Sister by Christmas.
In my past overseas purchases, USPS tracking mentioned the purchased item has entered the USA, but nothing is stated with this ring.....lastly, if this can't make it by Christmas....it's kind of a moot point. Then what are my options? Seems it may not be the sellers fault, but the post office? If that's the case, what can I do?
I thank you for your time & would love any ideas.

I always thought it wasn't allowed unless the book was in the Public Domain but I see live listings right now.
I have a Georgia O'keeffe book from 1998 and I would like to remove the pages and sell them.

Does anyone know for sure what the policy is?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help identify the artist of this colored lithograph circa 1969 or know anything about it? Thanks for any help you can give me!

Thanks for your time!
one on of my listings it shows there is a question but when i try to respond, there is not a question. i have deleted all of my messages and this is listing is still showing respond to question. how to i fix this problem ?
I recieved an item, it doesn't jibe with my memory of the listing, price or condition. Before i complain I would like to make sure my memory is not at fault, I've looked at a lot of similar listings and may not remember correctly.
I tried to explain to a customer (in a message) how to click and see other items in my store while he was looking at one for sale. He just doesn't "get it".'
He wants a "link" that will take him directly to my store. So I copied what was in the search bar and then pasted it in a reply to him, but it didn't underline it like a link, so of course it didn't work.
So what the heck is our official "link" so I can put my store name in where it belongs? Thank You, Kat
The buyer would like to return an item and I need to issue the return label, but this is my first time and I don't know where or how to do it. Please help!
Thank you.
Can anyone help me with the title of this Chagall lithograph? I've looked all over online and can't seem to find anything. Thank you!!
Hello, I recently won an item; I paid right after the auction ended. Shortly after that I noticed I had an hourglass icon on the listing which says "not yet paid". I have never seen this before so I looked up the PayPal transaction and it says the seller hasn't accepted payment yet (this was 4 days ago, they still haven't accepted payment). PayPal also says the seller isn't registered.
I had sent an email with a question before I bid and never got an answer but bid anyway as this occasionally happens. So after a couple days of the seller not accepting payment, I sent another email asking them to check their email address on PayPal for an error; I still haven't heard back.
This seller has no other items for auction, only 3 feedback and all as a buyer from a year ago. Drat, I really wanted this item too. Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to proceed? Thank you.
please help me i win a item but i cant pay because the checkout page in Paypal tell ...the paypal seller account dont receive money from non us paypal account
What are other ways to receive and send payments other then Paypal?
i bid and won an item on ebay and paid the down payment thru paypal. the seller has ask me to pay the remainder with a certified check. does this lose me the ebay protection
Is thee a tool or a method to put images from a dropshipper or Amazon onto Ebay?
I recently sold my 2nd iPhone 5, and decided to use the eBay WinWin Promotion, where if you follow eBays instructions on selling your iPhone, they will guarantee your iphone will sell for a specific Tender amount and if it does not sell for that amount, eBay will send a credit for the difference in what your iPhone sold for and the Tender amount. I actually tried it twice but the first time my Auction was only a 1-day Auction, so it was disqualified. The second one however was correct (3-day Auction), completely followed all eBay instructions letting the template add everything according to the rules of the promo. The Tender amount for the iPhone 5 was $275, but the iPhone actually sold for $177, which under the Promotion meant that eBay would credit somewhere around $100.
The Auction ended 11/22, since then I have called 2 times now and have been told each time to expect a credit email to be in my account, but still have never received any notice or email from eBay about this so called credit. Does anyone out there know how to get eBay to follow through on this promotion ? It has now been over 23 days and still I cannot get anything from eBay; both Customer Service reps have fully validated that my Auctions followed proper procedure for the promotion, but the rest is a black hole as far as how you get follow-through ...
Hi, I no longer see my ebay bucks. I got the 5x bucks offer and used it yesterday to buy a few items. I could see my total bucks amount if I hovered over the "MY EBAY" tab, the bucks $ amount would be at the bottom, just beneath "MESSAGES" in green., Alternatively, I could go to the "BUY" tab and the amount would show on the left. Now there is nothing. I had $42 last I saw it, which was yesterday. Has anyone had anything similar happen or know what I can do to fix this?
Thank you
First off, I'm new and sales have resulted in more activity. I am exceeding listings and instead of paying .30 insertion fees I opened a store to avoid it.
Originally I was able and happy to list Auction and Buy it now but am getting nicked for .10. Now that I have a store I have to choose one or the other but, In an effort to maximize sales it is going to cost where it did not before. So, being a big boy I consider defraying the cost by handling charge. I hate to present that profile to my buyers but what can I do short of eating the fee? Any Ideas?
A buyer won an auction and immediately emailed that he bid in error and was "cancelling the sale". I suggested politely that he was obligated to complete the sale, but went ahead and cancelled it. He has since sent 3 abusive emails. Can anything be done other than ignoring him?
how do i locate a specific seller by user name
I am so frustrated now, I just decided to not call ebay for like the 6th time and waste my time. I guess I need to vent so I'm posting here. Firstly, I have a buyer who is claiming he received the item not as described, poorly packed, and damaged by post office. It was a vintage Budweiser fixture. We went to great pains to package the item well. He keeps pressuring me for the refund but has only sent me 3 lousy pictures of the box. Yes, just the box. I asked him nicely to send me pics of the damaged item itself and what does he do ... he puts in 3 duplicate requests to ebay for his money, saying he sent me pics. Secondly, the account supervisor in Resolutions was mind-boggling stupid to deal with. It was as if I was calling for the first time to explain the situation. Yet there is a documented record of my communications with the buyer and supposedly "notes" taken by all the other reps I have spoken to. His attitude did not seem to be sympathetic to me and he was weirdly robotic to me. I asked that ebay please take me out of the picture and ask the buyer to file a claim himself for this "alleged" damage, because he has a criminal history. The supervisor said that ebay would ask the buyer for the pictures of the item and if he didn't comply, then they would ask him to return the item to me, at my expense, after which I could appeal that. But I'm thinking how is that a solution? The guy could have bought the fixture for parts for another one that he has and would likely mail it back to me missing those parts. I just feel I am going to lose on this ... to a dishonest person.
where can I go to start an unpaid items case?
I know that I have set it up to start after 4 days of the item not being paid for, but it is now going on the 5th day and want to start the case now.
Thanks for any help that I can get
For some unknown reason to my currency on watched items has changed to us. dollars instead of GB pounds sterling, also when I try to contact ebay redarding this a USA telephone number comes up so I can't even contact ebay regarding this. Any help please ?
My seller indicated the wrong shipping amount on her auction. I paid immediately (like I'm suppose to). Am I liable to pay the additional
amount or does the seller have to eat her mistake? Can she hold the item until the additional amount be paid?
When i look at my paypal account, I do not receive the full value of my listing. A certain percentage is deducted. In addition, I realize that there are ebay fees and I am charged an ebay invoice. Are the ebay fees already automatically taken out of my paypal payments from my buyers? Is that the reason why I do not receive 100% of my sale? Thanks
Does feedback stay for 1-year from the date posted or 1-year from the transaction date?
A seller closed a listing with my bid on it with no message or explanation why it was closed. The lising was for 6 days, and it was removed after 5+ days. Now it has been relisted ,under a new seller,with more shipping charges. Also, all the items that the previous seller (who dissappeared), are now in this new members list. The item in question was to be arriving before Christmas, and I was the only bidder and watcher involved. What can I do when the seller does not reply to my messages for an explanation? Is is safe to bid again with this new seller/member who has the same location as the previous one?
Just got my 2nd neutral feedback in 7 years of selling.Thank goodness I haven't had the misfortune yet of having a Negative,but wonder if i have any chance of having this neutral removed.
Buyer opened claim through Paypal,which has never happened to me before. She never contacted me at all though Ebay. When I read the claim on Paypal she said item not as described and wrote that I listed the waist size as 28",but they were 27",
I have a 30 day return policy,and would have offered a refund or exchange even if the item just didn't fit the buyer, but as she claimed they were measured incorrectly, I refunded within about 2 hours of claim coming in and DID NOT ask her to return the pants to me. Immediately sent her a friendly sorry email.
In the neutral comments she said "seller measured incorrectly but immediately rectified with refund".
Anything I can do? Can I request and get a removal on this one?
***this is my posting I.D.***

A study group wants residents' input on a master plan covering open space, transit links and other amenities.
From most windows in their home, Susan and William Sands can see the lush corn and soy fields on the University of Minnesota St. Paul campus that drew them to their suburban townhouse in Falcon Heights.
So when they learned the U was updating its master plan for the St. Paul campus, they had some questions. Does the U plan to retain those eye-pleasing corn fields? What about its golf course? And where does the new Bell Museum slated for construction nearby fit in?
These are among the questions being asked by Falcon Heights leaders as the university prepares to hold a "listening session" at 6:30 tonight at City Hall, 2077 W. Larpenteur Av., to gather input on the St. Paul campus of the future.
Falcon Heights has a particular stake in the university's plans because the campus comprises about half of the city, said Mayor Deb Gehrz, who is on the university working group. And the agricultural fields on either side of Larpenteur define the city, she said.
The campus is home to public facilities such as the Raptor Center and the university golf course, as well as 50,000 students taking classes in areas such as agriculture, forest products and biotechnology.
The university has no plans to cement over the 100-year-old agricultural research fields, officials said. But it is drafting "guiding principals" for campus development for the decade ahead. An important one is making the St. Paul campus more of a community, including adding bike paths and pedestrian trails to better link it to surrounding communities.
"The campus needs to function as a village," said Professor Kate VandenBosch, co-leader of a working group on the future St. Paul campus. "It needs to have good connections to the community. That includes transit and other amenities.
"On the Minneapolis campus, there's Dinkytown, Stadium Village, University Avenue -- all with restaurants that support people on campus," she said. "We don't have that in St. Paul. We think by appropriate planning with neighbors, such as Falcon Heights and St. Paul, we can plan for this kind of development ... as well as advance the goals that communities have for themselves."
Every 10 years, the university updates its master plan for the entire campus, looking at space utilization, land use and building facilities. But the St. Paul campus also is the focus of another working group, co-chaired by VandenBosch, which will define the campus' broad future mission and mesh it with research, classroom space and community outreach.
That group issued a draft report in August and has started holding public meetings on several broad themes, such as:
The St. Paul campus should attract diverse Minnesotans for everything from its agricultural extension programs to the new Equine Center and the new Bell Museum in the works.
It will be the hub for green technologies such as wind, solar power and bioenergy, as well as water conservation. That includes creating demonstrations sites for "green buildings."
Biotechnology and molecular biology space should be increased to support cutting-edge research.
The campus must function as a village with frequent and rapid transportation links to the Minneapolis campus and surrounding communities.
The Sands said they are particularly interested in the continued presence of open spaces on the campus.
VandenBosch says maintaining open spaces is also a university priority.
Susan Sands, like many others, likes to walk the tractor roads tucked inside the corn fields.
"I just was outside," she said this week. "Everything is plowed. It's just beautiful." Jean Hopfensperger 651-298-1553


text: Virgin: We feel positive for this weekend 24 June, 2011 Timo Glock Jun.24 (Virgin Racing) After crossing the Pond to Canada, the Formula One Championship headed back to Europe this week for the second of two Grands Prix to be held in Spain. Action for the European Grand Prix weekend got underway today at the Valencia Street Circuit with the first two sessions of Free Practice for Sunday's race. The street circuit is not used between Grands Prix, and the location of the track in a partially industrial area of the city inevitably means there is a lot of dust on the circuit at the beginning of a race weekend. Although conditions were dry and warm, there was little grip early in the session, so Timo Glock and Jérôme D'Ambrosio concentrated on gathering aero data during the initial short runs. Afterwards the team worked on car balance making several planned set-up changes throughout the session. Pirelli have brought the Medium specification P-Zero tyre as Prime and the Soft specification as Option, and the team took the opportunity to use both types of rubber in the second session, with Jerome looking at tyre degradation and Timo evaluating set-up options. As expected the track improved throughout the day and at the end of the second session Timo was classified 21st with Jérôme 22nd. The weather was warm and sunny with an air temperature of 26 °C and a track temperature of 36°C,. Timo Glock "It has been quite a busy Friday, especially this afternoon. We went through the normal programme and everything feels fine so far. The tyres feel a bit different but the rest is okay. I think we got a lot of good data out of some aero runs we did this morning, and that will hopefully give us a good direction for the future. So far, so good." Jérôme D'Ambrosio "I think it was a good day today. We ran very smoothly through the programme which was great. We focused on the long runs in the second session and gathered some good data for the race. I'm looking forward to continuing tomorrow, as we have arrived at a good basis today." John Booth, Team Principal "Overall we're pleased with how both practice sessions went today. In general we seem in a slightly better position than in Canada – perhaps more like where we were in Monaco –so we are feeling positive for the rest of the weekend. In the absence of any in-season testing, Fridays are now more important than ever and we spent the first part of P1 collecting some valuable aero data on the rear wing which will help us make better set-up decisions in the future. This afternoon, despite Jérôme running the Option tyre fairly early on, he had a good lap and progressed well through his programme, gathering the tyre data which, as ever, will be vital for Sunday. With Timo we focused more on set-up, in particular trying some different exhaust options. We will study the data tonight and use it to optimise the set-up on both cars for tomorrow."

Madoff appeal has little to gain
Appealing convicted Ponzi scheme operator Bernard Madoff's 150-year prison sentence would be an exercise in futility, a legal expert said.
Given Madoff's age, 71, even a reduction to 50 years would amount to a lifetime sentence, a case of Madoff winning the battle, but losing the war, Mark Allenbaugh, a former attorney for the U.S. Sentencing Commission told USA Today.
Allenbaugh said it could be argued the sentence was
unreasonable on its face, but he said the chances of winning an appeal were
Madoff was convicted of running an investment scam that, so far, has turned up more than $13 billion in losses. Estimates for the total loss have gone as high as $65 billion.
Before the sentencing, Madoff attorney Ira Sorkin asked for a sentence of 12 years. In a television interview, he called the 150-year term
At the sentencing, U.S. District Judge Denny Chin called the crime an
extraordinary evil, and noted the
staggering human toll. Thousands of investors lost money in the scam that lasted more than 20 years.

Fix readme
This document describes the manual process necessary to update the JRE component of WebSphere MQ V7.1 and V7.5 outside of regular fix pack installations.
Updating the JRE which is supplied by the WebSphere MQ V7.1 and V7.5 package outside of the Fix Pack installation mechanism is a manual process.
The installation procedure command line syntax is different for each platform. The installation steps need to be performed by a userid on the system which has sufficient authority to modify the WebSphere MQ installation, for example the root user.
The following instructions use the convention that ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH} and %MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH% are the root directory location of the WebSphere MQ installation. The default value for this installation path is "/opt/mqm" on Linux, HP-UX and Solaris. It is "/usr/mqm" on AIX, and "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ" on Windows.
- Download the updated JRE package from the IBM Support website.
- Optional: Make a note of the version of the JRE which your installation is currently using. This is used to verify that this JRE update has been successful.
To determine the version of the JRE which is embedded into the WebSphere MQ V7.1 and V7.5 installation, use the 'java -fullversion' command, invoking the Java™ binary which is present within the WebSphere MQ installation.
This location varies by platform:
- Linux (x86 32-bit):
- AIX, Linux (64-bit), Solaris:
- Windows
For example, for the default installation location on Linux (x86-64) the "java -fullversion" command for WebSphere MQ v22.214.171.124 returns the following information:
$ /opt/mqm/java/jre64/jre/bin/java -fullversion
java full version "JRE 1.6.0 IBM Linux build pxa6460sr9fp1-20110208_03 (SR9 FP1)"
- Linux (x86 32-bit):
- Expand the compressed download file into a temporary local directory.
This can be achieved on the various platforms using the following commands:
cd ${LOCAL_DIR}
zcat 7-WS-MQ-AixPPC640ICXXXXX.tar.Z | tar -xf -
- Linux:
cd ${LOCAL_DIR}
tar -zxf 7-WS-MQ-Linux${arch}-ICXXXXX.tar.gz
where ${arch} is the system architecture, such as "IA32" (x86 32-bit), "X64" (x86 64-bit), "PPC64" (Linux 64-bit pSeries) or "S390X" (Linux 64-bit zSeries).
cd ${LOCAL_DIR}
zcat 7-WS-MQ-HpuxIA64-ICXXXXX.tar.Z | tar -xf -
- Solaris:
cd ${LOCAL_DIR}
zcat 7-WS-MQ-Solaris${arch}-ICXXXXX.tar.Z | tar -xf -
where ${arch} is the system architecture, such as "Sparc64" or "X86".
- Windows:
This step is not required on the Windows platform.
where ${LOCAL_DIR} is an empty, temporary local directory with sufficient space to unpack the downloaded compressed tar file.
The value ICXXXXXX is to be replaced with the name of the APAR which the updated JRE package is shipped under, for example IC87062.
- Stop all WebSphere MQ activity associated with the installation which is to be updated, including the WebSphere MQ Explorer if open.
- Backup the existing JRE installation by renaming the existing jre or jre64 directory.
Note that on the UNIX platforms, the backup directory name must not begin with the characters "jre", as this will interfere with the operation of the 'runmqckm' and 'strmqikm' commands.
- Linux (x86 32-bit)
cd ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH}/java
mv jre original.jre
mkdir jre
chmod 555 jre
cd jre
- AIX, Linux (64-bit), HP-UX, Solaris:
cd ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH}/java
mv jre64 original.jre64
mkdir jre64
chmod 555 jre64
cd jre64
- Windows:
Either use the Windows Explorer to create a backup directory, or the command lines:
cd "%MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH%\java"
mkdir java.original
Then move the following files and directories into this backup directory, again using either the Windows Explorer or the following command line operations:
move docs java.original
move jre java.original
move copyright java.original
move notices.txt java.original
move readmefirst.win32.txt java.original
Additionally, if the "properties" directory exists in your installation, also move this to the backup directory:
move properties java.original
- Linux (x86 32-bit)
- Copy the JRE compressed files to the WebSphere MQ installation from the unpacked download directory:
- Linux (x86 32-bit)
cp ${LOCAL_DIR}/mq_jre.tar.gz
- Linux (64-bit)
cp ${LOCAL_DIR}/mq_jre64.tar.gz
- AIX, HP-UX, Solaris:
cp ${LOCAL_DIR}/mq_jre64.tar.Z
- Windows:
This step is not necessary on the Windows platform.
- Linux (x86 32-bit)
- Extract all these JRE files into this directory.
This can be achieved with the commands:
- Linux (x86 32-bit):
cd ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH}/java/jre
tar -zxf mq_jre.tar.gz
- Linux (64-bit):
cd ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH}/java/jre64
tar -zxf mq_jre64.tar.gz
- AIX, HP-UX, Solaris:
cd ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH}/java/jre64
zcat mq_jre64.tar.Z | tar -xf -
- Windows:
Use the Windows Explorer to copy the contents downloaded zip file,
"7-WS-MQ-Windows-ICXXXXX.zip", into the "java" subdirectory of the WebSphere MQ installation directory. In the default installation location, this is the directory:
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\java
- Linux (x86 32-bit):
- Update the file permissions to match the original installation:
- Linux (x86 32-bit):
chown -h -R mqm:mqm ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH}/java/jre
chmod -R u-w,g-w,o-w ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH}/java/jre
- AIX, Linux (64-bit), HP-UX, Solaris:
chown -h -R mqm:mqm ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH}/java/jre64
chmod -R u-w,g-w,o-w ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH}/java/jre64
- Windows:
This step is not required on Windows.
The directory structure of this JRE directory should now resemble the original directory which was moved in step 5 above.
- Linux (x86 32-bit):
- Optional: Verify that the update has been successful by re-running the 'java -fullversion' command, in a similar way to was used in step 2.
To ensure that the eventual uninstallation of WebSphere MQ from the system does not leave files behind, before applying a fix pack to this installation these updated JRE files should be removed.
This is achieved by deleting the JRE directory, and moving the backed up directory back into its original location:
- Stop all WebSphere MQ activity associated with the installation which is to be updated.
- Linux (x86 32-bit):
rm -rf ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH}/java/jre
mv ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/java/original.jre
- AIX, Linux (64-bit), HP-UX, Solaris:
rm -rf ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH}/java/jre64
mv ${MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/java/original.jre64
- Windows:
Either delete the set of folders which were extracted from the zip file using the Windows Explorer, and then rename the backed up original version, or use the command line operations:
rmdir /s "%MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH%\java\jre"
rmdir /s "%MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH%\java\docs"
rmdir /s "%MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH%\java\properties"
del "%MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH%\java\copyright"
del "%MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH%\java\notices.txt"
del "%MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH%\java\readmefirst.win32.txt"
move "%MQ_INSTALL_PATH%\java\java.original\*.*"
move "%MQ_INSTALL_PATH%\java\java.original\jre"
move "%MQ_INSTALL_PATH%\java\java.original\docs"
If a "properties" directory was also backed up, then also restore this:
move "%MQ_INSTALL_PATH%\java\java.original\properties"
Delete the empty backup directory:
rmdir "%MQ_INSTALL_PATH%\java\java.original"
- Linux (x86 32-bit):

(b) Warrants issued under the provisions of this article shall not be general obligations of the board of education issuing such warrants but shall be payable, as to both principal and interest, solely out of one of the following:
(1) The proceeds of any ad valorem tax voted under the constitution for the purpose of paying such warrants, or for school purposes generally, and paid, apportioned or allocated to or for the benefit of the board of education issuing such warrants;
(2) The proceeds of any ad valorem tax that may be paid, apportioned or allocated to or for the benefit of the board of education issuing such warrants; or
(3) The proceeds of any privilege, license or excise tax or taxes that may be paid, apportioned or allocated to or for the benefit of the board of education issuing such warrants.
(c) Any board of education issuing any warrants hereunder shall specify, in the proceedings authorizing such warrants, the tax proceeds out of which such warrants are to be payable and shall secure payment of the principal thereof and the interest thereon by a pledge of so much as may be necessary therefor of such tax proceeds. If any such board of education makes more than one such pledge with respect to the proceeds from the same tax, then such pledges shall take precedence in the order in which they are made unless the proceedings making the pledge prior in time shall specifically provide that such pledge shall be on a parity with or subordinate to a subsequent pledge of the same tax proceeds.
(d) Warrants issued pursuant to the provisions of this article shall constitute preferred claims against the tax proceeds out of which they are payable, subject to prior pledges, and shall have preference over claims for salaries or other operating expenses or any other purpose.
(e) No board of education may issue under the provisions of this article warrants payable out of the proceeds of any ad valorem tax if the principal and interest maturing on such warrants in any fiscal year, when added to the principal and interest maturing in the same fiscal year on all warrants of such board of education then outstanding and constituting preferred claims against said ad valorem tax, would exceed 80 percent of the annual proceeds of said ad valorem tax, computed upon the basis of the last assessed valuation on which taxes were due and payable, of the county or the district, as the case may be, as certified by the county tax assessor; provided, that if an irrevocable trust fund consisting of cash or direct general obligations of the United States of America, or both, shall be established for retirement of all or part of the principal of or interest on any outstanding warrants of a board of education, then, to such extent as the retirement thereof shall be provided for by the said trust fund (including the cash therein and all sums due to be paid by the said United States under the terms of any of its direct general obligations forming a part of the said trust fund), the said principal and interest shall be excluded from any computation for the purposes of this subsection of the amount of principal and interest maturing with respect to outstanding warrants.

INDIAN LAND No charges will be filed in the shooting death of David Hammer, 21, of Fort Mill, because the man who fired the shot feared he would be seriously harmed, according a news release from the Lancaster County Sheriffs Office.
Hammer was shot March 22 in the driveway of a home on Fort Mill Highway. The county coroners office confirmed at the time that Hammer died from single gunshot wound to the chest.
Douglas Jowers, 57, of Indian Land, was one of several other people on the scene and told officers that he shot Hammer in self-defense.
A female relative of Hammers was renting a mobile home owned by Jowers at the time of the shooting. Jowers saw an incident going on in the driveway and went to see what was happening. Hammer was grossly intoxicated and angry, and Jowers asked him to leave the property, according to the sheriffs office.
Hammer then began approaching Jowers in an aggressive manner, and Jowers was in a vulnerable condition because of recent surgery. Jowers also possessed a legally owned pistol. Believing Hammer would cause him death or injury, Jowers shot Hammer one time, according to the sheriffs office.
Investigators from the sheriffs office and 6th Circuit Solicitor Doug Barfield agreed not to press charges.
It is unfortunate that this incident led to a loss of life and our condolences go to all parties involved in this tragic event, Sheriff Barry Faile said in the news release. Based on our code of laws a person who is on their own property has no duty to retreat and can legally stand their ground in the face of attack.
That person can use force to defend themselves, including deadly force if it is believed necessary to prevent death or serious bodily injury. It is our opinion that given the current circumstances, a reasonable person in Jowers position would have feared death or serious bodily injury.
