A: Hello to you....To answer your question you are in luck because we have some extra Palm Tungsten T5's in stock and we would be willing to sell you one out right for $375 at NO CHARGE TO YOU for SHIPPING. If you are interested in a memory card we have those in stock as well. Thank you so much for your inquiry and we look forward to doing business with you. Also we cannot end this item early due to the Ebay agreement policy but we do have plenty in stock to sell you seperately. However no feedback can be applide in this method. We can send you an invoice through paypal for payment. Thank you so much.

Then, I see, the seller has added that Q&A from that auction to his other auction.

Besides me sleeping at the wheel, what about the "NOT" this-or-that in the title? Palm Tungsten T5, not T, not T2, not T3

Gosh, I feel like a net cop!

Questions:
  • Is this considered advertising to sell off eBay?
  • Is the "NOT" other types of Palms considered keyword spamming?
  • Has eBay grown so big that auctions like this is creaping up all over the site?
  • Should eBay hold training classes before allowing auctions to be listed?
I see that the seller has one in his shop with BIN for $375. Maybe the seller put that up for the person asking the question, but there again, feedback can be left for shop items.

Answer
Newbie seller probably didn't know any better. As if...

We should all go give him a visit... ask a bunch of stupid questions...

Workplace harrassment?

Nah...

Answer
Ask them if they would take a cashier's check for more than the purchase price and if they would forward the cash to someone on your behalf.

Answer
commentary - I'm not that Asleep at the Wheel YET.
