Cases to count against you, even if you refund.

I don't have a problem with eBay making a profit, what I do object to is the increasingly impossible hoops they are making us jump through.

I don't disagree. I just find it surprising that people think Google or Sky or Virgin or whoever would have lower charges or less rules especially when they'd be entering the market from nowhere.

Years ago, before EBay, we sold on Yahoo, so they do have the software, but it's probably so out of date it wouldn't be useable.

They still run in a few countries, Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan. I seem to recall that they had a run of bad publicity that pushed them out in the US and Europe.

Many people on Ebay are now self employed.

Do you feel self employed??? Or does it feel like your working for a bully boss that makes you jump through ridiculous hoops for a pittance of a pay packet?

Still not much on tackling rogue buyers.

Sold an item on 13th March. Delivery stated 20-21st March.

Buyer pays then says post today i need it tomorrow. I refuse and offer cancellation. He says no, just post it ASAP.

Item arrives 20th - neutral feedback "Took too long - seller unhelpful". Low stars across the board.

Ebay - you have created a monster by allowing buyers to bully sellers and set their own rules.

The time wasted emailing buyer and contacting Ebay is ridiculous. Thanks for seeing sense and removing the feedback. But how about removing the buyer from Ebay?????
