I just want to publicly state that I support Frank Provasek 100%

What ebay and some of the people in the newsgroups say about him
is nothing short of malicious lies. He has done nothing wrong, and
you people need to get a life and leave his business alone.

Just how do you personally know Frank has done nothing wrong?

I am not suggesting he has, but since you are so sure he has not,
maybe you can clue us in on how you know this to be true.


Frank is a well known dealer. Why would he lie about this?

Same reason he keeps breaking the Ebay rules?

I have been the victim of newsgroup smear campaigns for several
years. Just another tactic by the Frank-haters.

Sorry to hear it, Frank. I've disagreed with you on many issues, but
interfering with one's business is abhorrent. I hope you take
appropriate legal action in this regard.


I understand Frank has consulted one of the attorneys for the Texas Coin
Dealers Association, and that is why he is not posting here anymore.
I suspect Ebay will be presented with a suboena to turn over records
leading to his suspension.

Well, shoot. Lawsuits are easy to file, but hard to prove. If
you've got something, go for it.
Personally, I don't know the man, have never bought from him, and
have never corresponded with him. However, the relentless barrage of
adolescent prattle from a small group of posters is starting to make those
of us not involved think the problem is not with Frank, but rather with the
prattlers.
Basically, if you have some valid complaint, do something (of
substance) about it. If not, your complaining carries no weight.

Ahhh...Allen. You've hit it right on the head, of course. The longer this
relentless lynching goes on, the more I notice that Frank's annoying posts are
being superceded by the annoying posts of the prattling vigilantes. (combined
two of the most apt terms for the whiners there, didja notice?) I'm not sure
what they hope to gain, but threatening court action is among the silliest
threats I've seen in a long time on here.

Sandbox threats are entertaining when you're bored, though. They make for
funny reading. It's ironic that to maintain his "martyr" image, Frank may have
to step up
his postings and his annoyance level. He's starting to win people over, or
rather his
detractors are starting to annoy people more than he does. He'll have to step
up to the plate and become really obnoxious if he wants to keep this thread
going.

Must be over 1,000 posts now and still going...?

On second thoughts, get lost, you sad tosser.

just how "well known" is he? i never heard of him before he started
posting here. he certainly has gotten a lot of publicity out of his
posts here though. and that of those he has posting both in his favor
and against him. personally, I can not make any sense out of the
whole situation. I just don't see how frank gains anything by what he
does, yet he has been doing it for years.

besides, I did not suggest anything about frank in this particular
snippet, only questioning another poster's contention that frank had
done nothing wrong and asking how the poster could possibly know that
to be true.

on what basis could any subpeona be issued from any court intexas?
part of his contract with ebay agreed to says:

"Resolution of Disputes. In the event a dispute arises between you and
eBay, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective
means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and eBay
agree that any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out
of this Agreement or our services ("Claims") shall be resolved in
accordance with one of the subsections below or as otherwise mutually
agreed upon in writing by the parties. Before resorting to these
alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly
to seek a resolution and we will consider reasonable requests to
resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures,
such as mediation, as an alternative to litigation.
17.1 Binding Arbitration. For any Claim (excluding Claims for
injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the
award sought is less than $10,000, you or eBay may elect to resolve
the dispute through binding arbitration conducted by telephone,
on-line and/or based solely upon written submissions where no
in-person appearance is required. In such cases, the arbitration shall
be administered by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS in
accordance with their applicable rules, or any other established ADR
provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. Any judgment on the
award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.
17.2 Court. Alternatively, any Claim may be adjudicated by a court of
competent jurisdiction located in Santa Clara County, California or
where the defendant is located (in our case San Jose, California, and
in your case your home address or principal place of business). You
and eBay agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts
located within the county of Santa Clara, California.
17.3 Alternative Dispute Resolution. Alternatively, eBay will consider
use of other alternative forms of dispute resolution, such as binding
arbitration to be held in Santa Clara County, California or another
location mutually agreed upon by the parties.

All Claims (excluding requests for injunctive or equitable relief)
between the parties must be resolved using the dispute resolution
mechanism that is selected in accordance with this Section by the
first party to file a Claim. Should either party file an action
contrary to this Section 17, the other party may recover attorneys'
fees and costs up to $1000, provided that the party seeking the award
has notified the other party in writing of the improperly filed Claim,
and the other party has failed to withdraw the Claim. "

I am not all that convinced that all the detractors and all the defenders

So you tattle tails think depriving a man of his livelihood is OK based

SHAME ON YOU

Welcome to a.m.o.e where 99.99 percent of the participants have no
lives. These losers sit back on their fat, unhealthy asses and nit
pick. It's all about karma. Prety soon many of these losers will be
pushing up daisies, anyway. And the world will rejoice!

I wonder if these toothless hillbillies even work? Or do they spend
thier entire existance sopping off of the government, collecting their
next pay(welfare) check? Personally, the world would be much nicer
without these toothless, fat, meg whitman-sucking assholes... as soon
will be evident!
