    I still sell on Ebay and have done for a long time now. But I admit it's not the same as it was.
    I have had four people in a week doing "Buy it Nows" not bidding by the way, then not paying.
    They all keep saying it wasn't them, but when I read their feedback a few days later, they have gone and bought a similar item and left feedback for the new seller.
    I can't leave them negative feedback even if I wanted to as I have 100% feedback now, and some horrid person would retaliate and muck it all up.
    Seems sellers can't win nowadays.

    Go through the Non Paying Bidder process for them all. If (big IF) you get a neg, you can get it removed as they haven't paid, you'll still have your oh-so-precious 100%, and if all sellers do it, NPBs will get kicked off.
    Exclamation and question marks - ONE exclamation mark or question mark is sufficient to exclaim or ask about something. More than one just makes you look/sound like a prat.

    . Dear oh dear. You really should have, or should've listened at school when that nice English teacher was explaining how words get abbreviated.

    Baffcat love your sig. It's one of my pet hates as well (would of). I think we were the only kids listening at primary school.

    Teaboy, there are countless threads on here, some started by me moaning about some aspect of ebay or paypal that we dislike or that has frustrated us. To moan about companies is what we do, it is almost a pastime in the UK. It just seemed to me that you post merely to say how bad it all is, yet you still use it, or are you posting to stop us using it?

    If you are really that unhappy with ebay and paypal and can find nothing redeeming in it then move on and give up on it. As for the shop I dislike I don't let it bother me at all, if I constantly sat and thought about it then I would just get frustrated, so I put it out of my head and just refuse to use it. You do have to let things go sometimes,.
