[QUOTE="thatkidhimself, post: 1841388, member: 62963"]I honestly don't belong here as I'm not a coin collector. But I am a collector, and I do buy on ebay; and this is the first forum I've found on this topic not run by ebay itself. I collect records mainly, and sometimes 16mm Castle Films, and admit I'm a very small-volume buyer. It's a hobby, not a business for me, and I go after only the few, usually inexpensive items I really want. Ebay bucks have never made the difference on whether I buy an item or not, but they have indeed come in handy. And now I get this message from on high telling me I don't buy enough to deserve receiving the bonus I earn on what I do buy. This truly rankles me. Imagine if you were treated this way in, say, a supermarket. What if they charged you a higher price for the same item than the guy in line ahead of you, or refused your credit card, or honored his coupons and not yours. Would you be angry? Would you refuse to shop there again? Like the rest of these faceless online poohbahs, they treat their customers this way just because they can. And we let them get away with it.[/QUOTE]
