How utterly bizarre, for any other organisation, but not for eBay.
So presuming you had paid for it, this is some automated system that puts the
onus on the seller
to make sure eBay "knows" the item has been paid for or if you haven't paid for
it yet (i.e. in the blink of an eye)
eBay are taking measures against you as a buyer?
It's right up there with their stupid logic about shipping costs, delivery
times etc.
It all rather smells like ebay might be in more trouble than anyone realises.
Offering 2 weeks of free auction style listings, at an earlier time in their
history, might have indicated they were trialing the very thing that seemed
obvious when so many sellers left because of their high listings fees and
increasing FVFs and attempt to woo both sellers and buyers back on a regular
basis. But no, it's just another desperate move from a company that lost the
plot and the basic rule of any good business - customer service.

Subject: [MOPO] Just when I thought the "suits" at eBay couldn't get any more
stupid! This is their lamest move yet
Just when I thought the "suits" at eBay couldn't get any more stupid! I just
got an e-mail from eBay telling me they "opened an unpaid item case" for an
item I bought, NOT because the seller filed it, but because "the seller either
hasn't recorded your payment or didn't receive it yet.'!
OH MY GOD! This is a sure way to get buyers mad, and to leave bad ratings,
which makes eBay a pile of money!
