I am moving my residence in a few weeks after 25 years in the same New York City apartment. What better way to clean out some old stuff than using eBAY.

I came across a load of The New Yorker magazines from 1996 to 2005 and decided to sell those on eBAY along with some other magazine titles that were sitting around the apartment.

When I went to eBAY I found that my rating, which used to be about 99%, had dropped to 91% because another user claims that I did not follow through on a sale several months ago. The truth is that this claim is dead wrong. I believe that the complaint is a mistake. Unfortunately eBAY does not provide a means to get this mistake cleaned off of my record (if there is a method to do this, I would appreciate it if someone would let me know).

I understand that many prospective purchasers will not deal with someone who has a rating much below 97%.

I hope prospective buyers check out all of my comments because I have rated 100% with any buyer who has purchased from me. I will let you know how it goes as I could very well be "finished" as an eBAY seller now that a mistaken complaint is part of my record.
