Hi Everyone,

Thanks everyone for the inputs. I have impeccable feedback and sales record. Please see the whole conversation above between me and Zappas (copy and pasted), I left no lines out. I also made screen shots. Members Zappas Rant is clearly based on lies.

1. He never said "I would buy when I get back" Instead, he said, "I’m on vacation for awhile, I’ll see what’s happening when I get back."

He never even made an offer

2. He never "emailed 3 times"

3. and when he did message after 8 days - on 3/13, it was an abrupt "Let’s do this deal" I responded the very next day.

Be very Careful of this buyer! I will certainly block him for wasting everyone’s time.

Even your email is via SSL unless it’s some horrible provider

Not my understanding! The ability to encrypt emails end-to-end using public-key digital certificates has been around for decades, but hardly anyone uses it! If they did, only the intended recipient (the one who has the corresponding private key) would be able to read the email.

In fact, the European Union recommended that all business emails should be encrypted after the discovery of the ECHELON surveillance program at the turn of the century. The US was spying on business emails.

Digital certificates can also be used to verify the author of a document such as an email, and guarantee it has not been changed in any way. Again, hardly anybody uses this facility!

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) also uses public key infrastructure (digital certificates) to establish encrypted links, usually between a web browser and a web server. Mostly the web server is identified with a digital certificate and the protocol changes from http: to https:. Optionally, the browser can also be uniquely identified with a digital certificate but in my experience this facility is also rarely used.

Email is usually sent over the internet in plain text using the simple mail transport protocol smtp:. Email is not inherently reliable and is open to a wide variety of attacks. Like Ethernet, on its own it does not even guarantee delivery.

Email could be made supremely secure, but hardly anybody bothers with public key digital certificates unless they run a web server.  The fundamental issue is that the person who pays for a digital certificate is not the one who benefits.  If I want to send you an encrypted email, you have to own the certificate,  But if you want to be sure it really came from me, and has not been changed, then I am the one that has to have a certificate..  

@love4audio -- I'm not complaining with this response, I'm just curious.  You tagged me in your reply above, but I never responded to this thread.  I'm just curious why you tagged me?  Again, not complaining, just head scratching.

If the seller explicitly agreed to hold it a week, then to do otherwise is lying - I’d have to agree with the buyer. I hold honesty and integrity in the highest regard.

If the buyer wanted to inconvenience the seller to wait a week "for free" thinking that he has earned some goodwill so deserves this special period, then I agree with the seller.

For the seller, it’s better to have cash now to move onto other things, than to wait later with the increased risk of non-performance.

@richardbrand you are conflating all these issues, like SMTP and SSL, all major email providers encrypt the messages, meaning no one else can decrypt it and read it during the transportation of the packages.

If it wasn't the case all hackers would be billionaires but at least multi-millionaires.4

Email is usually sent over the internet in plain text

No it is not. It is encrypted. If it was sent in plain text, you would have 99 out of a 100 politicians blown into a zillion pieces by scandals.
