Then took my money and then changed their requirements and blocked my account. Sorry. They are crooks. I opened an account with whatever conditions they had at the time. They never asked me for additional requirements. Then they took money out of my bank account and immediately blocked my money and caused me many problems. Crooks is what they are. |

That's going to have a huge impact on Ebay sellers till Paypal is phased out... :-- --- End quote --- So far, I've had to take two returns for buyer idiocy, and I lost the fees paid to Paypal. 1. A pair of 10:1 passive probes which the buyer bought for his DSO80000B series scope which has 50Ohm inputs only. :palm: $10. ($20 including return shipping.) 2. A scope which sold for about $950.

Wow that sucks. I've been very close to just stopping selling on eBay altogether, this is enough to push me over that edge. Between the exorbitant fees including fees on shipping that I buy through eBay (so they know exactly how much I paid) and the extreme bias in favor of buyers it's just not worth it anymore. |
