eBay sucks!!!!

[Rick D]

Sorry I just have to vent for a minute!! Why do people bid on items at the last minute of an auction on eBay only to send you a message (or never send anything) and say oops I thought I had the money but now I don't so I can buy it

Sorry to vent but it just pisses me off, really you didn't know you didn't have the money when you came in and bid at the last second on the auction!!!

Ok I'm done thanks and sorry for wasting a minute of your time to listen to me vent!!

This is no excuse but many people "snipe" the auction. Though the bid comes in during the last few seconds, it can be set up days or weeks in advance. NO EXCUSES FOR THIS, just saying that they could have placed the snipe in advance and either forgot they did it, or something came up that they spent their money on. My point is that they likely didn't make the bid at the time it showed up. Bad form and I'd definitely report them to Ebay and put them on my blocked bidders list.

What is eBay's policy on "events" like that?

While on the subject of eBay...

I recently sold a piece of artwork on there. When I received my monthly statement, eBay charged me 10% on the final price. And then 10% on the shipping costs! And of course Paypal got their 3.5% on the total.

I was not happy...

I know Jody, but it still sucks!! He said he thought he had more room on his credit card

Nothing, I did report him but that's about it. If does a few times within a month or so they may restrict him

Yeah tell me about it!!! As for the shipping 10% if you ship through eBay not PayPal you get 20% off with FedEx so doesn't hurt as bad!!

[Rick D]

Oh and then he's nice enough to leave me positive feedback!! NO!!! Now it looks like I bid up my own item to get more for it

I asked eBay to remove his feedback as I canceled the transaction, so we'll see!!

And I did add him to my blocked list.

Fleabay

[GregWeld]

This is why I GIVE parts away -- I can't do the FleaBay crap.


A LONG time ago -- FleaBay was Ebay and it was mano a mano... real people just doing some business.... then everyone and their brother jumped in and ruined it.

I bought maybe 4 or 5 cars on Ebay -- the first couple were great transactions --- then the scumbags came in and the car was NOTHING like the Ad... and you get burned. I don't even go there to look at cars anymore. It's just become so uninteresting.
