daveislander: Thanks for voting "useful" for my guide! And thanks for the idea. When it comes time for me to give elllieshang feedback, (and the seller I bought my Nano case from, and the seller I bought my 2.5mm adapter from), I will mention my guide in there for all feedbacks! I was thinking of mentioning mymxplayer.org, but sorry, can't have room for both! (And the guide mentions this site anyway!)
princessanne1026: Thanks for the critique. Believe me, I wanted to blast individual sellers. I wanted to put an entire blacklist in my guide. I didn't think I could get away with it. I was going to just mention "queenofglitter" as someone who gives retaliatory feedback, but after not seeing my guide in my own myEbay page, I decided to edit it out, to give eBay a harder time of finding reasons to pull my guide. I noticed at least one other mp4 guide reviewer "naming names" of bad sellers. His guide is still up, but I as I am not sure and just starting out, I didn't want to risk it! I put enough stuff about eBay itself to make 'em real nervous about my guide, so I didn't want to push it...
I didn't know that the more votes a guide gets, the closer it gets to the top in searches. So EVERYONE VOTE MY GUIDE USEFUL, EH! Like you say, the more people that see it, the faster this scam will be busted. And thanks for voting, I've now already got 21 helpful out of 21 votes, and am the top 3,733rd guide reviewer! Still can't see my guide on my ebay page or do a search for it though!
Thanks for the tip about toolhaus.org, I had NO idea you could do that on another site!
fablept: Geez, the 4GB scam is a mass conspiracy to defraud the public! If the Portugese auction site is refusing to let users warn other users about the scam, makes you wonder if eBay will do the same, in response to my guide? We'll see!
If they pull it like the Portugese site did yours, I'll force them to tell me exactly why. If they say it contravenes the regs, I'll change it just enough so they can't say that.
It seems that you CAN talk sh*t about eBay and sellers in your guide and not get it pulled! This guy basically rants the entire way through his "guide". It's not really a "guide" at all, its just a rant against eBay for not protecting him and others against a single bad seller!:

Here's another guy specifically targeting a seller, who's not in the least bit afraid of a libel suit:
