You know what I just don't understand?
The people who call you a crook in the Marketplace because of one harmless action that most people do almost every single day.
"Oh joy! I place _____ to be bid on and such while leaving my minimum bid price to a low one! I am oh-so evil and rude! Condemn me please!"
.....
Seriously, is that how they view us every time we cancel a bid when it's not what we, the merchant, want in price value?
I mean, it's not like they DON'T do that also!
And even if they didn't, there's no point in creating a journal entry and saying:
"Oh, this person cancel my bid so he/she is evil/rude and must be embarrassed with my oh-so powerful journal entry! WAACHAA!"
I mean, there's no rule about canceling auctions and leaving the bid at a low minimum bidding price.
....
Okay, I went a little over board with the 'WAACHAA!' thing, but you understand where I'm getting at!
I mean look at what they assumed of what I am:

u=6359060, (1)Burdee The Sheep, who apparently doesn't believe in a minimum bid but had no problem with yanking an item if it doesn't sell for as much as (2)he wants, which is the very thing that a minimum bid is supposed to prevent but he doesn't do minimum bids because he is just a (3)(4)bate-and-switch crook
1. Yeaaaaah......and since when did I say "I, Burdee, do not believe minimum bids"?
2. And since when am I a 'he'?
Sure, my avatar is meant to be a girly guy, but I'm a girl!
3. Futhermore, how am I a 'crook'? I haven't ripped off any offers, cheated someone out of their belongings, attempted to steal, or do anything that relates to the word 'crook'. Jeevas, learn your definitions before using them....
4. Okay, now tell me.....what exactly did I 'switch'? Sure I (how you say) 'bait' people into coming and bid on my item or bid higher than the other, but I didn't cancel and switch the item out and a different one while the auction was still on. It's just impossible, people! There is no way to switch and item while the auction is still on! Also, isn't it pretty much how we get people to buy our merchandises/goods in the real life and Gaiaonline? I mean, all I wanted was a good offer and since my auction time was running out, I canceled the auction. I mean almost everyone does that, and did they get banned/frozen for it? No, because you're allowed to do that, plus it's not even in the Marketplace Terms of Services.

And now I shall conclude to make this a little less stressful. Dear to *insert name here* (it's more mature of me if I don't reveal your username, unlike those who do to make us feel more 'shameful'), call me a 'crook' all you want, but what you're really doing by labeling me as one, you're calling most of the Gaian population a crook also. You can complain/argue with me here all you want about my rant about it, but you're actually an immature little child (not the good sense) in a metaphoric sense despite your actual age. I am not only saying this for my own benefit, but the benefit of other Gaians who are assumed as crooks because of what these immature children viewed us merchant as and how we really use the Marketplace in our own way.
