Every time that I have written a thoughtful, intelligent response countering their policies, on the boards, it doesn't even post.<BR/><BR/>I just wish there was a central site where everyone selling cards would flock to. Unfortunately, there are some things that you can only find on eBay. If anyone can agree on a site to ALL go to to buy and sell fairly, I'm all for going.Steve Giermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291911419511893670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-44206812118977336042008-08-21T19:24:00.000-05:002008-08-21T19:24:00.000-05:00I don't use Paypal except in in dire emergencies, ...I don't use Paypal except in in dire emergencies, so I guess eBay doesn't want my business any more. I didn't start using eBay until Yahoo auctions completely screwed up their site, so I was able to adapt then, I'll adapt now.dayfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343838411856677615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-67015915821095246702008-08-21T19:06:00.000-05:002008-08-21T19:06:00.000-05:00These new policies have angered a great deal of bu...These new policies have angered a great deal of buyer AND sellers on ebay. Even more are fleeing the dictatorship of ebay for fairer, safer venues. Many have joined the Ongoing Global Ebay Boycott, which has been gaining members from 10 countries, since the beginning of the year. See ebay discussions, including "Seller Central" to read what users are REALLY saying...well, the posts, which ebay hasn't deleted, anyway. You'll see from ebay's own employee, Griff, that EVERY dispute of the "tens of thousands" he dealt with in his 12 years at ebay, (he claims) was due to "unprofessional conduct" of the sellers. You'll see that Paypal has directed some unsuspecting buyers of possibly fake items from ebay, have been forced to send those items to "Liquidity Services", BEFORE Paypal issues their refunds from the sellers' accounts (without compensating the sellers). "Liquidity Services" is NOT an authenticator of merchandise and is NOT in the business of destroying counterfeit items. They ARE in the business of SELLING merchandise. Don't forget to check the last pages of "Seller Central" for the few Boycott threads left, which have been cemented to the "basement" and not allowed to return to the front of the discussions. <BR/><BR/>How ebay THINKS they have the right to INTERFERE in transactions between buyers and sellers is beyond comprehansion. The BUYERS paymens are TO the SELLERS, NOT to ebay. Ebay has every right to mandate which payment they will accept from sellers paying their fees, BUT ebay is OVERSTEPPING their boundries, when attempting to dictate the methods buyers mest pay their sellers.<BR/><BR/>It's TIME for the LEGAL powers to step up and take on this monopoloy, as was done successfully in Australia when ebay attempted it's "Paypal ONLY" policy and FAILED!!!dorbanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562203629453628854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-60190660886981631812008-08-21T17:16:00.000-05:002008-08-21T17:16:00.000-05:00Agree that it will push even more sellers away fro...Agree that it will push even more sellers away from eBay.
