I have been selling and buying on Ebay for about 9 years now. As you probably know Ebay & PayPay are almost one and the same, and both have changed their policies to where the buyers can really screw over the sellers. You cannot give any type of negative feedback to BUYERS on Ebay, the only thing you can do is check the GREEN DOT and leave commits. I suggest you leave true commits for the DEAD beats. I now read the commits because Sellers are starting to leave the real feedback there!
Anyway, I recently ended a series of auctions on Ebay a couple of week back.
50% of the BUYERS Did not pay. That's right 50%. No, I did not ship! I had to contact the buyers as per Ebay policies, I had to wait and wait before I could file a dispute, then I had to wait some more. The we have to wait to get our listing fees and final auction fees back, and plead with Ebay to return them. Yes Ebay charges you the Fee's and the 8.75% selling fee's even though the BUYER hasn't paid YET!
The Ebay Buyers are even so brazen that they will Email you saying they are not going to pay, and Ebay will Do NOTHING. Ebay does NOT CARE IN THE LEAST! I have copies of the Emails and phone conversations to prove it!
I honestly believe these Ebay Buyers are are disgruntled Sellers who are creating new Ebay ID's to get back at ebay!
So, Sellers on Ebay beware!
P.S. I hope someone will come up with a alternative to Ebay & PayPal very Soon.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

I started selling on flEbay in 2003, but after 2 years of getting pushed and shoved around by it and the customers, I dropped them. Ebay is nothing but a money hungry conglomerate who could care less about the sellers, and only care about the buyers because they are helping the flow of money. If your item sells, Ebay gets a cut. Hell, even if it doesn't...
There are many long-time eBayers who are very disgruntled with GreedBay. The changes over the past few years have made the auction site a miserable experience. And, yes, they've become a business who does not care about any of its customers - just keep the cash flowing in their direction and 'all is as it should be' as far as FeeBay is concerned. Believe me, they do not care about the buyers OR the sellers.
