Re: [SWCollect] Ebay sucks like heck
My blood pressure boils just from reading this. Unfortunately the character has plenty of negative in the old ID so that shows he is not a negotiable-kind-of-type and seems capable of lying and stealing. I was gonna bid too so thanks for warning. At least you seem to have gotten the bids cancelled at this point http://offer.ebay.com/ws3/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidsitem=3082267622 ..but the auction is still going on: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=3082267622category=4315 Howard Feldman wrote: I have learned that as long as eBay gets their fees they couldn't care less about dishonest sellers, especially for petty amounts, and then tend to favour whichever side involves them doing nothing. Exactly. That is so well their policy summarized. On a side note, I for one had to change my user ID because it was my e-mail address earlier. The e-mail ID was conveniant. eBay forced to change it on a basis that users that have e-mail address as ID are more likely to get targeted or something like that. Bullshit. It's because they want to control business going on outside eBay and surely want it all to happen on-line at their site with all the high listing and Paypal fees. - Jukka -- http://koti.mbnet.fi/~psychic/ - Synchronic Web -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

Re: [SWCollect] Ebay sucks
I feel your pain Josh. We've both been ripped off together before.. Thanks for metioning this BTW, I was about to bid on the KQ :) I have learned that as long as eBay gets their fees they couldn't care less about dishonest sellers, especially for petty amounts, and then tend to favour whichever side involves them doing nothing. The only useful suggestion I have is to take a look here if you haven't already: http://www.auctionguild.com/ It is a sort of We Hate Ebay site, with lots of very useful and interesting information, including phone numbers etc. Of course, I also learned they generally refuse to discuss matters like this on the phone, as they require a paper trail, and so prefer e-mails. But that doesn't stop you from calling and harassing them, ask to speak to management, etc. and if you're lucky or persistent you may get somewhere. The site also has some good articles on how to avoid fraud, or what to do about it.
