eBay = epic fail
After weeks of trying to sell an item on eBay, I have given up and I don’t think I’ll ever try to sell anything on eBay ever again. Three times my auction was won and not paid for. Three times I did not get back my seller fees which I’m supposed to receive if there are issues with my auction.
The first auction, the buyer never paid for. The second, the buyer used an apparently hijacked account. The third time, the buyer was unregistered when I came back after seven days of no payment. Isn’t eBay supposed to inform users of events like this? I paid eBay in seller fees so I could waste my time.
Yes I know there are evil people on eBay, but not being able to sell a single item is just ridiculous. Where is the security? Why can’t users choose what kind of people can bid on their item? I will never again list on eBay unless I can choose how much reputation a bidder has to bid and how recently they have used their account.
I am not a big seller. I do not have the resources or patience to deal with all this fraud without even a valid bite. eBay, you fail.
On the bright side, one can still participate and enjoy bidding on items at eBay providing they are buying from reputable sellers. That is easier to figure out than when you are actually selling items.
Deep breaths. Live long and prosper!
