TROLLS?
Guys:
Has anyone else experienced this? I am selling an airplane and received a question. The question asks "how much to ship to Alabama". (or any state). When you reply you get no response and when you go look at the guys profile he has not posted any posts, but his approval rating is all good. What is going on here? Is it RCU checking to make sure you as the seller are legit?
Kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you think someone is looking at your stuff for sale.
Anyone else had this happen?

RE: TROLLS?
I had the very same thing happen. I was selling a plane,and not list the shipping price because I didn't know where it would be shipped too. I got about 10 replies asking about shipping to here and there. I did respond to the first 3 or 4, then said this isn't worth my time looking up each state zip code and shipping costs. I kept getting emails on questions on shipping. So, what I did is not respond to those emails, let the ad expire, relisted and stated $90.00 shipping. Never heard another word. Still have the planes.
People don't want to pay the rediclious shipping charges, and I can't blame them at all.

I sent the reply that 20 bucks would cover fedex ground on a PM. when I looked at my sent PM box it says 0 sent,although it said when I sent it that it was succesful.This is why I believe it is a troll. I also sent e-mail. This has happened on all of my ad's. I just think it is a little weird.

Keeping sent PMs isn't the default option for RCU. Unless you tell RCU to retain your sent messages, having no messages in your Sent Messages box is the norm.

Only if they choose to issue one. That makes the read receipts pretty useless. Most folks also receive the PM in the body of an e-mail, so there's very little incentive to read the PM through the RCU system.
