AS A LONG TIME BUYER AND SELLER ON EBAY (12+ YEARS AND 15,000+ TRANSACTIONS),I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!! THE ANTI SELLER POLICIES HAVE DONE ME IN. IF EBAY AND SOME BUYERS REALLY BELIEVE THERE IS SUCH A THING AS FREE SHIPPING, THEY NEEDED TO GET PROFESSIONAL HELP OR CONSULT P.T. BARNUM! FREE SHIPPING=HIGHER FINAL VALUE FEES FOR EBAY AND NOTHING ELSE. THE BUYER IS PAYING JUST AS MUCH OR MORE. BEING LURED BY THE 4 LETTER WORD "FREE" IS ONE OF THE OLDEST GIMMICKS IN THE WORLD, ALONG WITH "WE'LL SEND YOU 2 GIZMOS, JUST PAY SEPARATE PROCESSING AND HANDLING", PLEASE!!!
I GUESS THINGS HAVE IMPROVED FOR BUYERS, NOW A BUYER CAN CLAIM HE RETURNED AN ITEM, LOSE A PAYPAL DISPUTE, FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM, KEEP THE STUFF, AND STILL LEAVE THE SELLER NEGATIVE FEEDBACK??? ALL THE SELER CAN DO IS COMPLAIN TO EBAY/PAYPAL AND GET NO RESULTS FOR HIS EFFORT!!
OH, I FORGET, ALL BUYERS ARE POSITVE ONLY, NO BAD, DIS-HONEST, BUYERS IN EBAYLAND. SELLERS DON'T EVEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO BLOCK BUYERS WITH HIGH NEG. FEEDBACK, UN-PAID STRIKES, ETC. THERE IS NO SUCH THING, THEY ARE ALL PERFECT HERE IN FANTASY/EBAY LAND. I EVEN TRIED TO FIND A DETAILED BUYER RATING (DBR), NO SUCH LUCK!!! SO MUCH FOR THE FAIR AND OPEN EBAY COMMUNITY. I'M PLANNING ON MOVING TO A SAFER, HAPPIER, FRIENDLIER COMMUNITY, LIKE BAGHDAD, KABUL, SOMALIA, ETC.
TO THE REST OF YOU, I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE ADVISE ME WHEN EBAY HAS A "FREE LISTING DAY AGAIN". REMEMBER THOSE???
