Yes, eBay is making it very difficult for sellers with too many new rules
and regulations. I was so flustered one time because of all the eBay
software changes that I accidentally refunded somebody $500.00 before the
item was even sent back. Needless to say, I never received the item so I
lost $500.00. Even though the "buyer" made an offer which I accepted, he
claimed his reason for returning the item was that I was asking too much. I
think a lot of "buyers" of large ticket items are drinking and bidding since
many requests come in to cancel transactions a few days afterwards. EBay
needs to do a better job of vetting out bidders with poor business
etiquette. Too many flakes!
It is becoming like the new U.S. government, too many rules and regulations!
Expect to see a major increase in internet rates now that the U.S.
government wants to control it like every other aspect of our lives. EBay
is no different!

This happened to me with a Bomber jacket. Ebay would not even refund my
seller fees and told me the same thing and offered other advice. To file
an internet crime report at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx. I did so, but
ebay said they will not kick this guy out until he does it to a few more
people. The clown I dealt with returned a cheap wind breaker. I lost
$600.00. I made ebay aware of this problem before they refunded the thief
but, ebay told me they have no way of dealing with thieves until they do
it a few times.

Howdy List,
A day ago, through FB, a fella named David who has stellar honest
reputation, posted an episode of crappy result that happened on F'bay:
having sold a completely rebuilt top-6"-slab-saw shipped and received
from the 'buyer'...then endured the inability to contest what happened
next: The 'buyer' claimed that condition was flawed, and sent the 'item'
back, money refunded to David.
David received a completely different chopped up hack-job, after
refunding the 'buyer' his purchase price. EfBay then dissolved any
affiliation, and David is effed....the scammer now has a new re-built 6"
saw, scammed, STOLEN, and EfBay offered advice, "The cost of doing
business"
WTF?
My 2 cents worth.

Hi Folks,
I have noticed a new trend with meteorite dealers on eBay. Two
different dealers have done this that I know of, and there may be
others.
What I am referring to is bidder requirements. I tried to place a bid
on two different specimens from two different dealers and both times
eBay stopped me and said I could not bid because my PayPal account is
not "linked" to eBay.
I think eBay is a hell for sellers and I loathe the eBay boardroom. I
do not want those greedy bastards having any more access to my
financial information that is necessary. So I refuse to link my
PayPal account to eBay. I know this is somewhat silly since both
companies are intimately linked, but I do not want eBay having it's
hooks any deeper into my pocketbook than necessary.
I am sure there are other eBay members who feel the same. If you are
a seller who has set this requirment, you are losing sales. You just
lost one right now. I could have bid your items up, but I was not
allowed to place a bid. It's not my loss, I will always find the
specimen I want eventually, either off eBay entirely, or from another
seller without those requirements.
My money is just as green as anyone else's and it spends just the
same. If you have this requirement set on your eBay auctions, then
you are losing money.
Just a heads-up. Do with it what you want. ;)
Best regards,
MikeG
