Re: [MOPO] Just when I thought the "suits" at eBay couldn't get any more stupid! This is their lamest move yet
Every now and then, I get an automated email asking - no telling - me to pay for an Ebay purchase. But this happens after I've paid for it. Pay and pay again?

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.

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.

Re: [MOPO] Just when I thought the "suits" at eBay couldn't get any more stupid! This is their lamest move yet
This is ploy to get everyone to pay everything with PayPal. Since Ebuggers owns PayPal (and the link the PAY NOT button on your "what I won on ebay" page to PayPal IF you pay with PayPal the payment is automatically filed. The seller does not have to do it. Otherwise, you may get hassled. An explanation, not an excuse. -- JR Bruce Hershenson wrote: *Just when I thought the "suits" at eBay couldn't get any more stupid!
