<p>[QUOTE="cncman, post: 1704280, member: 17256"]ebay sucks for sellers unless you are selling hundreds of items a week they don't trust you. My account has been open since the 90s but I rarely sell just buy. When I went to sell a couple of books I had to get a little extra cash they said they were holding my money for weeks until the customer had the chance to get the item and have a chance to decide if they wanted to return it, again, been a customer for over a decade with zero bad or even neutral feedback, then they said they would continue to hold my money on future sales until my score went up. I told them I wasn't shipping until I got money in my hands and cancelled all my sales and let the buyers know why. They didn't wait at all to take their cut out of my paypal money. Also, sending it requiring signatures won't necessarily protect you, buddy of mine sent some silver out with signature required but no insurance as the buyer didn't pay for it. He got a delivery confirmation that it was delivered but the buyer said he never got it, no signature was taken, he took it on himself to call the post office there and found out a new mailman threw it on his porch with no one there. So even though the buyer didn't pay for insurance ebay said it was the seller's fault because he didn't force insurance on the package as ebay rules require for over a certain amount. The buyer opened a claim and ebay charged his bank account for the amount, so he gave the stuff away for free and ended up with a lot of hassles and extra fees. I think it should be criminal that they can access your account without notifying you and get your approval. I told him to file theft charges which is what I would have done. Ebay can kiss it before they see me sell anything there again. If you read in the ebay forums there are HORRIBLE stories in there from sellers, one was a couple in Japan after the tsunami that sold thousands in their extra inventory since their store was destroyed they had good feedback and were sellers for some time. They were very desperate in their pleadings to ebay because they had to sell the inventory for a loss just so they could get some money to survive, but ebay had a hold on their money for weeks. They are a shameful organization.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
