I hear you!!! I am getting pretty frustrated with e-bay too...I am a long time buyer and seller (powerseller)....over 8-9 years...I have seen prices/fees steady climb, and customer service go to crap...and now that they have monopolized it by MAKING us us paypal its even worse!!! There is a new site called onlineauction.com, check it out! It was started by a bunch of powersellers from e-bay who got tired of all the crap...They are pretty new but I have joined (FREE) and bought a couple of small items...You can sell items for a fee of $8 a month with unlimited sales, no listing fees, no final value fees, and no other hidden fees...and you can chose from many options to get paid!....Check it out everyone, mabye one day they can put a hurtng on the theives at e-bay!!!

Camcojb I agree with you 100%, same thing happens to me.

The fact that the only thing a buyer has to really go by as far as the seller they are thinking of buying from is their feedback, you would think that E-bay wouldn't have F'ed with it but now they've screwed it all up with the "no negative" feedback rule!

I hear ya on lazy buyers. I've sold a few things on ebay so my trans count is low but it would be nice for them to leave positive feedback. It takes, what, a minute to do?

I still have left negative feedback. You have to mark it as positive, but if you take time to read the feedback comments I made my true feelings known.

I hear ya Jody. It pisses me off too. I have just about stopped using Ebay after the fiasco I went through on my NOS fenders I got ripped on. No help from ebay and used Paypal as a weapon against me.

Jody,
I told my wife I wasn't going to give any till I got some. It didn't go over too well.

I get what you are saying about the whole e bay deal. It sucks that people can't do such a simple task. Most people are too into themselves to give a s*** .
Hang in there man.

Jody same has happened to me many times.

Same goes for being in business, some people get things done right away (like us) and others take forever making excuses and you have to break thier balls constantly to get things done.
