Phil Even more bizarre is that the 2 weeks free auction listings and some other promotions are not available to anyone who has an eBay store. That is only going to create more bad feeling amongst sellers. Regards John

This is their lamest move yet 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.

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!
