Mean, very mean. They will take the food from your mouth, then cast you out and never think twice about it.

They are a bunch of shrewd lawyers no different than government, they are in bed with bilderberg globalist, a hideous group.

hehehehe.......

I see alot of changes on ebay AND ALOT OF PROBLEMS THEY MAKE THERE SELF AND AMERICANS ARE LEAVING its a monopoly, and for CHINA!  I thought it was USA EBAY OH!  I FORGOT ? AMERICA IS A LIE!  SEE YOU TUBE 20 LIES ALL AMERICANS SHOULD KNOW  , STAND UP DOOOO! SOME THING! AND  GOD BLESS!!!!!!!

And isn't it ironic that you need to use Google to search for things on Ebay, now that Ebay has "tweaked" thier internal search engines to stack the cards for thier favorites? I wonder how that's gonna fly now that Google is becoming a competitor. Hehehe.

Didn't You hear the news? Google Products, once Google Shopping is going to charge per click for every one, where it is now free. That's the picture of Your listing that shows up at the top of the Google Search Page. Which is usually a Amazon or EBay Listing. I guarantee You they won't pay Google for that. I can't afford $.50 to a buck a click. Anyways, this starts in Oct.

Bottom line, folks: Ebay, like any other business model created for users, has its limitations. The OP said it himself -- he's now an equities trader and TOTALLY in charge of his destiny relying on nobody but himself. Like it or not, eBay is the best game in town. It paves the road the rest of us use. If you don't like that then blaze your own trail. Give Google Shopping/Wallet a few years and it, too, will have considerable rules designed to placate the masses.

HAVE BEEN ON E-BAY SINCE 1998... MY FIRST ACCOUNT HAD 1300 GOOD FEEDBACKS BEFORE E-BAY CLOSED IT IN 2005. THEY ALLOWED A BUYER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES AND THEN HE INSULTED ME AND CUSSED AT ME... WHEN I REPLIED... I WAS SUSPENDED.

THEY ALLOWED ONE BUYER TO RUIN ME.

THEN AFTER YEARS I CAME BACK ONLY TO BE A BUYER AND HAVE TWO PHONEY SECOND CHANCE OFFERS STEAL 6K WORTH OF MY MONEY.

I WAS LIVIED... E-BAY TOLD ME THEY HAD NO RESPONSIBITY FOR THIS, EVER AFTER I TOLD THEM THE OFFERS WERE IDENTICAL TO REAL SECOND CHANCE OFFERS I HAD SEEN/HAD BEFORE... SOMEONE STOLE THERE EXACT LOGOS AND FORMAT TO DEFRAUD ME.

E-BAY SAID BE CAREFUL... THAT'S IT. POLICE DID NOTHING AT ALL... EVEN AFTER MANY CALLS TO THEM. THEY SAID REPORT IT TO A WEBSITE ICB.COM OR SOMETHING... NEVER HEARD A WORD AGAIN.

NOW 14+ YEARS LATER AND 6 ACCOUNTS WITH OVER 1500 FEEDBACKS... E-BAY HAS DONE IT AGAIN TO ME... THEY ALLOW A THING CALLED DSR'S.... TO DOWN-GRADE ME SO I GET NO FREEBIE.... NO SPECIALS... AND NOW I HAVE TO LET THEM HOLD MY MONEY.... ONLY CAN SELL 100 ITEMS.... THIS BECAUSE I USED FIRST CLASS MAIL FOR 14 YEARS AND HAD A FEW SLOW TIMES.

I HAVE SPENT OVER 100 HOURS ON THE PHONE TO E-BAY AND PAYPAL ONLY TO BE GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AND HAVE TO TELL THE STORY OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE... WHO DO NOTHING.

THIS IS A SLAP TO MY FACE AGAIN... I HAVE LOST THOUSANDS ON E-BAY.... CAN'T EVEN BREAK EVEN YET.

NOW NO SALES.... LAST ON LIST AYY.... E-BAY GET YOUR DIRTY RICH HANDS OUT OF OUR BUSINESS..!!

GO BACK TO THEY WAY YOU WERE SOMEWHAT... OUT OF THE TRANSACTION.

TAKE RESPONSIABLTIY FOR THE LACK OF SAFEGUARDS ON THE SECOND CHANCE OFFERS... AND PHONEY E-BAY PAGES... PAY ME BACK.

I WANT TO BE PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.... PLEASE... PLEASE SOMEONE LET ME KNOW WERE AND WHO..!!

E-BAY U SUC... GO TO H
