Seller's terms & conditions

I was just browsing around ebay and saw these terms and conditions on a listing;

" Due to a recent spate of new or part time ebayers not reading listings we will permanently block and then cancel any bids by buyers under 50, ebay shop owners, feedback set to private, or buyers that bid on more than one item."

I was looking to buy something from them but since I only have a business account with a shop, I decided not to bother, I obviously don't meet their stringent criteria!

What are the worst terms that you've seen on an ebay listing?

    That's a bit ageist isn't it?! Talk about cutting off a large age group! :rotfl:

    (Just kidding, I do realise its referring to feedback scores!)

    Actually, now I've re-read it, I'm not so sure if they are referring to feedback or not! *confused or maybe just tired*
  • One of my accounts that I use very rarely has 49 feedback, you don't have the item number do you?

    If the item number or user id gets posted there's bound to be lots of people putting bids on and then cancelling them straight away, so lets not do that. It could ruin Ebay user thrifty.beatnik's day;)

    He's not very easy going for a beatnik!
    What a fascinating seller, loving the feedback replies. He doesn't like customers much does he?

    Let's just say I'm not too surprised that they have to run a lot of their 'famous' 1p auctions to get rid of the stuff :p
