More like this design:

rather than the celtic star. Very simple. There's even steel star outlines...and thus hollow...that I've seen.

n00b question: do piercings that large ever close up again?

According to a convo I heard Nakomis on Big Brother: All-Stars having with another houseguest, she'll hafta sew hers up eventually she said

Hers were about that size, maybe a tad bit larger.

Yeah i just saw something similar to that on ebay just now. Black and silver, unfortunately the star is red. Blah.

This is the other one i found but i don't think it's what you're looking for either.

Ya, I checked ebay. Thanks for the tip though. There was actually ones that were up a little while ago that I wanted. Cale bid and someone beat him in like the last 5 minutes...jerks. But then he emailed the guy - who has a store - and the guy said he would put a "buy now" option. He did...Cale ordered...and the guy never responded. Cale sent him multiple emails asking him what was going on...he's recieved nothing. That was months ago.

Yes they do. Those are 4 gauge. I think you can go up to a 0 gauge and they'll still close over time. Your body naturally shrinks up. I've taken out my 4's for a few hours before and when I go to put the earrings back in they'll hurt a little bit sometimes.

That sucks I really can't think of anywhere else to look short of going to piercing shops in Toronto and asking to see their stuff

As for the guy on ebay i hope you gave him terrible feedback and opened a dispute up with him! That's so lame that he would do that

I've been going to head shops in Windsor, Cambridge...I'll try Toronto next time I'm there. Thanks for looking though.

The ebay guy...I can't do anything about. Cale informed me that you can't give him a bad review until the sale is complete. It's a seller's market apparently. I think that's bull shit. I want other people to know that his service is crap.

lisa my little hottie... come to toronto, go to new tribe on queen street west, theys gots everyting. and if they dont, they will know where for u to go.

Posted by DigitalMP on Jul-26-2006 16:15:

lol...i always bid on ebay in the last minute of the auction to beat out the suckas.

feedback is to give your opinion on an eBay sale. if there's no sale, there's no transaction. it's not a seller's market at all. i've gotten many great deals there.

if you lost, then you didn't set your max bid to the max amount you were willing to pay. your fault

Not really...the person won the bid...fair and square.
Cale emailed the seller afterwards and asked if he had anymore b/c he appeared to be buying them wholesale and selling a lot. The guy responded and said "yes I have more, next time I'll set up a 'buy now' option" He did. Cale "bought now" and never recieved any information. Cale emailed him MULTIPLE times and said "hey...I selected 'buy now' how come you havne't contacted me with any information?" and the guy never responded. So no, it wasn't our fault...it's the guy's fault for not completing the transaction. So yes it is his market...the seller's market.

well, first, the whole world must be a seller's market, since the seller is obviously the one making the decision as to whether they will sell you their goods in the end.

second, you should be able to go back to the auction's page, or find it in your my ebay, and click the "leave feedback" link. since he initiated the buy it now option, that qualifies as a sale to end the auction.

I believe the buy it now option was seperate from the auction since he had more of them. As in people could either buy one of the many he had for a set price or they could bid on the one he had up for auction...not affecting any of the ones that were up to be bought now.

I'm not familiar with ebay, so I had Cale take care of it, and he said he was unable to leave feed back. He tried.

how long ago was it? if he can still see the "won auction" on his my ebay page, there should be a link right next to it to leave feedback.

I'll ask him to check. It was two months ago or something like that. As far as I know he didn't "win" the auction though....the auction still went on even after he bought it b/c there were extras to buy.

yeah, that's a dutch auction, where the seller has multiple items. so there can be multiple winners. if it was only two months, it should still be on his my ebay page

Well I'll tell him to double check. Unless he lied to me he said there was no option to leave feedback. But he doesn't use ebay much really either, so he doens't know too much about it.

Thanks for the tip though.

If not...whatever...it's over, but if possible I would like him to write feedback b/c the guy was a total douche about the "sale".

Edit: I just spoke to Cale, and he said the since no money was sent the transaction wasn't complete. He's searched his ebday page and there was no option to leave feedback - in addition he recieved no email saying that he could now leave feedback.

Bascially the guy put a "Buy Now" option for no reason b/c he would never follow through.

Posted by DigitalMP on Jul-26-2006 17:41:

there is no "transcation" as far as ebay is concerned, after the auction ends. and yes, even though it's a dutch auction, for cale's intents and purposes, the auction ended. at that point, both parties can leave feedback. money does not have to change hands, because ebay doesn't regulate that. for example, if cale never sent money when he was supposed to, a seller could then leave negative feedback for him. he may have to configure his my ebay page so he can view the auction he's won of the past 60 (or whatever) days.

however, ebay does have a dispute resolution handler called Square Trade.

also, while your issue sucks, leaving feeback won't do much at all if he doesn't have a bunch of negatives, because you'll be looked at as "that one problem".

He checked his ebay page though and wasn't allowed to leave feedback. So I'm not sure of the regulations on why he wasn't allowed to since the "auction ended" in your terms.

I think at this point, even if the dispute could be resolved...it's not worth it. I don't want to give that guy my business anyway. I'm just glad that Cale didn't send him any money. If he did, THEN I would insist on resolving the issue.

You're right with the feedback though....our one back comment wouldn't do anything to the guy.

My thoughts...I don't trust buyers/sellers on ebay, which is why I don't have an account. I don't like not having that security.

Oh well...like I said, we didn't send the guy money, so although the situation does suck yes...screw him...at least he never got our money.
