It's the non-paying bidder bit they need to fix, takes FOREVER to get anywhere with it.

Sellers get sucked off by goats on there.

Any blower can leave bad feedback for any reason or another.

I had a bad feedback left becasue the postman banged on the door too loud and woke her sleeping child.... what a drain.

the annoying thing about feedback is that ebay wont remove it, even if you can prove that what they are saying is a lie. I got a negative for a non received item yet i had the signature of proof that he had received it and ebay wouldnt do a thing

so i had to reply to feedback and state this so people were aware

These changes are a good idear

After feedback is left

1. We’ll remove negative or neutral ratings if a seller opens an Unpaid Item claim and the buyer either doesn’t respond or doesn’t specifically say the seller is at fault.
2. We’ll remove negative or neutral ratings left by a buyer if they’re subsequently permanently suspended from the site.
3. We’ll base Feedback percentage scores on the last 12 months’ activity (rather than on lifetime activity) so that negative feedback doesn’t permanently affect a seller’s reputation.
4. We’ll be launching a dedicated hub for sellers to report malicious or unfair feedback from buyers.
The amount of people that leave STUPID!! feedback as in dans case is unbelievable hopfully if they make the above changes then you can get stupid reasons like that removed so it dont fuck your feedback up

I would have been happy to go round and throw a firecracker through their letterbox...

That would be enough to wake the dead let alone her F-ing daughter....


Blowers..........

Just seen the bit about paypal on there:

As we announced before, all listings on eBay.co.uk will soon need to offer PayPal as a Safe Payment method. This is so that sellers get raped for yet more fees on every item anyone buys.

Over 95% of listings on eBay.co.uk now offer PayPal. If you don’t already offer it on yours, we’d strongly recommend you sign up now. We’ll update you soon on the final deadline for the requirement to offer PayPal on your listings.

We hope you’ll support these changes. They’ll create a more profitable marketplace for us where buyers are more confident and which rewards sellers by giving their anal passages a good service with a blunt object.

ive been ripped off with paypal many times they receive there item then open a claim with paypal saying they have not received it

just put a bit in along the lines of "advertised elsewhere so retain the right to remove this listing if it does not make reserve <inster reserve price here>" and then put "will accept 10% lower than reserve for cold hard cash"

they can't bin every ad can they, think of the manpower it will take to enforce

and if you put the price up by 10% peole will almost always stump up money

I suspect if people start doing the "2 weeks to process paypal" thing reguarly, then ebay will make that against the rules too, they really are determined to force as many people as possible to use their unsafe and overpriced money transfer service that im sure would be illegal in most countries if based there!
