Default Ebay sucks ass

Did you know that now on Ebay a seller can not leave negative feedback at all. We have over $2000 in non paying bidders and can not leave feedback telling others. All you can is leave positives.
But the assholes that do not pay you can leave you a negative. The people that came up with this should be taken out and shot.
How long before sellers just say fuck it and Ebay can sit there with their non paying members up their ass. Thanks for the vent.

I use ebay to shop then call the source to make the deal outside of ebay.

Agree with your rant ---

That rationale is as stupid as our schools grading that "no one student is better than another" and the fricking slackers never bottom out.

If you're a looser, rip-off, POS or whatever neg you deserve ... then, damn it --- you are!

I'm done using eBay. Craigslist and all the local forums is the only way to go these days. It cost me over $150 in "listing fees" for Ads on stuff that didn't even sell. They used to give you a cost credit towards relisting the stuff; not any more! They used to only charge a flat-fee for the "buy it now" and the "reserve price" options - now they charge a percentage! I think the last time I tried or sold something on there, that we lost like 12% of profit after it was all said and done. That is absurd; as a retailer - some items don't even have 12% margin when you are first getting started (based on jobber and buy-in amounts, etc).

eBay FTMFL these days

yup. I am an ebay junkie but i think the feedback thing is to make everyone use paypal. They own it and half.com as well. It just feeds more money to the machine. I save lots of cash on there. But ive taken my lumps too. +1 on meeting there and outside deals. I found the stock version of my car there.
