<p>[QUOTE="Atarian, post: 1419935, member: 34285"]These are the kind of antics that e-Bay can get away with ever since they sucessfully killed off the other auction houses (yahoo, ect.) a long while back. Ebay didn't used to suck so bad - I've been a member since 1996 but hardly sell anything anymore. For one, there's very little seller protection. I sold a vintage Atari system a while back, and the seller did not pay within 30 days so I re-listed the system and sold it. The new buyer left + feedback but the nonpaying "buyer" was able to leave negative feedback even though he never paid. e-Bay confirmed this thru Pay-Pal, and and all the messages I sent asking for payment were thru the e-Bay system. e-Bay would still not delete the negative feedback. I was not able to leave anything other than positive feedback for the non-paying original high bidder, which I obviously did not do. Not sure if it's that way anymore but that really turned me off on selling things.</p><p><br /></p><p>The also require Pay-Pal as a payment option, which costs the seller more money. But ending my rant and getting back to the OP, e-Bay can do whatever they want - where else are you going to go? Anyone remember when you could buy/sell firearms on e-Bay? All dealer to dealer only so totally legal. They stopped that. Then magazines that held more than 10 rounds. Then most gun parts. Then finally all magazines. I think holsters and books about guns are still OK, but are probably on the list to be banned. It seems that most of the these idiotic decisions are made either for politcal reasons (evil guns) or ignorance (the ANACS deal).</p><p><br /></p><p>Too bad there's no viable alternative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
