Y'know, I can't often say I agree with Toby but I do this time. As I do with Ann.
If you believe telling half truths and bending the balance to suit you is the reason you have had any success, you are the one living in lala-land. In fact, it might be argued that any success you enjoy is in spite of your practices. You may call it "Creative Thinking" but the rest of us know it for what it really is - "Deliberately Misleading".
While it is true that some may come here to complain, it appears that you are here to tell everyone else that yours is the right way and everyone else should follow your lead.
While you are hear there are a couple more statistics we can offer you:
Experienced Powersellers that say you are wrong = 3
Dishonest Powersellers that say you are right = 1

tea_past_times, you haven't got a clue. I know that Ann does not ship by Canada Post.
Take your garbage elsewhere. You posted and people disagreed with you is one thing. If you are here to look for an argument there are plenty that will oblige.

Oops...gotta run, please continue to discuss amongst yourselves.
Problem solved ]:)

Number of Listings in Treasure Pot's store this morning is 0.
You can't count. Look at my store from .com and not .ca. Duhh!
Isn't this chat for Sellers??
No, this discussion board is for PS'ers and I still have that designation. Anyone can be a seller but not necessarily access this board.
When our delivery takes 3 weeks and American sellers can get delivery in 3 days, it's a disadvantage, and you gotta do what you gotta do.
No, as many have already commented, we don't have to do as you do as we find it morally wrong. Trust me on this... it will come back to haunt you.
My original Post simply offered advice on how to overcome the disadvantage Canadian sellers are at On Ebay vs American sellers.
Your original post simply offered insights on how be dishonest with customers. Other PS'ers said that they disliked that idea and you immediately decided to levy an attack on one of them.
Sorry for trying to help.
If you don't want to have your opinions commented on - DON'T POST! Certainly don't post stupid advice that others will find offensive. PS'ers generally rise to that level (but, as in your case, not always) because they excel in customer service - not because they intentionally mislead buyers.

Tea, please supply a link to where you received this advice. I'm sure you must have misunderstood or taken it out of context. Otherwise, it was faulty to start with and repeating it here does no service to PS'ers.
Your response to someone telling you that your advice was faulty was to immediately try to discredit that person by trying to find fault in her listings, on a totally different topic, rather than defending your initial post. You did the same with my listings in an effort to discredit me. In both cases you were found to be inaccurate. I must have missed the post where you apologized for getting your comments about both Ann's and my listings wrong.
Look, anyone can post their opinion but many PS'ers try to fly a pretty straight path with their customers and they are justifiably proud of it. For you to come to this forum and preach lies and deceit and try to sugar coat it so that you can sleep at night does not sit well with some.
By the way, I'm not worried about people commenting on my posts and that's why I continue to do so. I've been here long enough to know that I need to be able to defend what I write. Can you?
To put it simply, you have absolutely no justification for lying to your customers. You can colour it any way you want and package it with a bow to attempt to make it more palatable but it is still wrong.
Now if you really need to find something else to attack my post on, my father was a Scot and my mother is French Canadian.

Nope... ain't gonna happen. I was just waiting for you to try and assemble all of your thoughts. Apparently you have difficulty with getting more than a single thought into a post, hence your need to post seven times when others only require one. Six quips and a smiley in 10 minutes - thank goodness I had other things to do. It is so difficult to conduct a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
If you had a clue you would recognize that my store does not reveal most of my items to those located in Canada. I'd explain that to you but I'm sure you would use my explanation as a way to start another defenseless argument.
But once again, rather than focus on defending your ridiculous stand that it is OK to mislead and lie to customers, you choose to focus on your inability to find my listings.
If anyone is sputtering, most will recognize who.
