    I'm done this time. Never again. Seriously. No more. I just can't deal with these people any longer. Give me +F feedback. Please do. I-don't-care. I'm done. I like negative feedback. I eat it up. It's what fuels me. Oh? You're pissed cause I held your personal check till it cleared too? Too bad. You're going to give me negative feeback now? Go ahead. Like I said. I don't care.

    eBay gave 3 of my sellers the wrong address (missing 1 line) even though when I previewed it it was correct. I emailed all 3, 2 of them sent the item to the correct address, the other didn't reply. Two weeks later he was "no longer a registered user" of eBay. I waited a little while longer, sent him 2 more emails, and got no reply. So then I filed the eBay protection claim and only later did I see the part that says you have to file a PayPal claim not an eBay claim if you paid with PayPal. So I filed PayPal and what do you know, 45 days have gone by and it's too late. :( My fault for not reading carefully and not filing it in time, but the d*ck could have replied and sent me the item. Only $10 but still, I could have lost a lot potentially.

    I've had fewer than 40 transactions (buying & selling) and have been pretty lucky, with only one failed buyer.

    eBay has left me with...
    140 positive feedback - 0 negs.
    Countless number of phishing emails
    Buyers who are confused with the eBay process
    3 Lost FedEX packages
    1 non paying bidder

    <rant>Oh, and not to mention when I buy something people charge insane amount of shipping. $12 to ship a book ??? It's been almost 2 weeks and it's not here, is it traveling by Pony Express ? Ever hear of a FLAT RATE USPS BOX ?? </rant>

    me too, all buying over the last 4 years, never sold anything, seems like too much hassle.

    only prob i ever had was paying $10 for an X1/9 brochure/ad when all it was was a single page cut out of a $2 magazine that i already had. now THAT pissed me off. :mad: otherwise, research your purchase!

    Nothing good in life is easy. And nobody gives you something for nothing. Those are the facts. If you found a website that gives you something for nothing, please share. Its retail, bro. Its a pain in the ass.

    It feels better to vent, so vent to us about it. But dont give up. Especially if youre making $$ selling something on ebay. Youll always have jerk off customers.
