This is it ..I'm done with ebay

Gun shows are slightly worse. There are lots of so called honest people dumping their problem items onto unsuspecting people with a clear conscious. They ruin it and then seek relief by offing it onto some sucker.

The level of ignorance is amazing and ego gets in the way of learning. I NEVER ask anyone at a gunshow a question about anything beyond "Do you have??" People who go shopping without thoroughly knowing what they are looking for are sheep ready to slaughter and deserve their fate. Expecting Ebay to solve your ignorance is asking a lot. They have to scatter bread crumbs to find their office.

I will tell you a couple things because Ebay needs to be brought into the public eye just what trash they are.
I decided to maybe sell a couple things on there. I sold a few things and they withheld my payment through Paypal. Which they own now of course. They do not release the funds if you are a new member with less than 25 succesful transactions for 21 days after the sale. There is only one reason for this and one reason only. They can keep your money on interest for those 21 days and gain further from their GREEDY paractices. They also hold the shipping charged so you have to pay that out of your own pocket at the time and wait for the payment to clear to get reimbursed for shipping. If you do not offer Free shipping they charge you a percentage based on the amount of shipping you charged to ship a item. This tax for not offering free shipping goes right into their Bank account. What a damn farce and scam that is.

Who would believe a US based Company would ever dictate to a seller that he has to offer FREE shipping or pay a tax for not offering it.

They will do anything they can get away with to add another fee for whatever screwy idea they can come up. They Force you to take Paypal as a payment method and make it very difficult to take any other forms of payments. You used to be able to take personal checks and Money Orders but they found that there was no financial gain for them in those forms of payments so hence they forced everyone to use Paypal when they bought Paypal out so they could get the rediculous amount they charge for fees forcing you to use Paypal.. I could go on and on what a screwed up crooked,greedy Company they are but will stop at that. They have had and currently have several class action lawsuits against them for their practices..I let everyone know where ever I can can what crooks they have become..

Another thing they did. You can not as a seller no longer leave negative feedback for a deadbeat buyer that ignores you after the sale. That is just stupid. A buyer now can extort sellers by many means and as they know negative feedback cannot be left for them but they can leave it for a seller even if the transaction was satisfactorily followed through by the seller.

Will not even go into their anti Second Amendment policys.

It has gotten to the point in their greed that they are taking nearly 40% when you sell a item.
Thanks and Screw Them.

Note: I will supply a toll free number for anyone who wants to call them and verify all this is 100% true. You will be astounded after and while talking to these people just how stupid they are and the lack of any common sense or the ability to be reasoned with. They are completeley,well, Brain dead.
