I had a few cents here and there that did NOT compute as well.
I think most of mine bounced back. But not sure.
Oh well just another reason not to trust ebay.

nice to see the improper rounding being included in the suit. I noticed some improper rounding on my acct also back then and feel confident that they did it to everyone.

Those fractional pennies add up quickly when a company is rounding up on a million or more invoices...

[/quote]That was my thoughts too at the time; all those extra pennies is easily paying for at least one persons salary. I just didnt feel like fighting with the idiots at ebay over a few pennies, which is what they counted on, i'm sure.
Quote:my thoughts about how an ebay meeting probably went
suit1 - "hey, lets make some extra $ by using improper rounding"
suit2 - "but wouldnt people notice and dispute it? not to mention the fact that it's just wrong"
suit1 - "as difficult as we've made it for people to get anywhere with customer support, do you really think they'll get anywhere when they dispute it? and how many people do you think will expend all that energy over a few pennies?"
suit3 - "great idea! let's do it!"
note: suit2 was subsequently termed for being a troublemaker
The lawsuit link is no longer valid.
Ebay's lawyers are total bastards. >

When eBay knows the other side has a winning case it pulls every trick in the book to drag the trial out for as long as possible hoping the other side will eventually get sick of fighting (or run out of money to pay their lawyers) and agree to settle or drop the case. In most cases over the years that strategy has worked for eBay. It did this time.
Just my two cents . . . eBay loves class actions because they just have to defend one suit. And, as BBH said, they can wait and spend most folks out.
I would LOVE to see a couple thousand sellers all file suit against eBay in their local small claims court . . . on the same day.
As an aside, eBay just *withdrew* their registered agent from the state of Georgia. However, they are maintaining the RA for the realty business.

Just goes to show you in our modern times there is
only one way to beat a giant like ebay.
Simply close your wallet before you get screwed.
The
mileyazwipe:
over at feebays boards. (you know who they are).
Call me a hypocrite because I still use the service.
Still haven't been burnt and wont get burnt either.
I never said I didn't use the service I was just vocal about
how I and others felt the service was being run into the ground by ebay.
As you can see.. It is worst now than before ebay bought them out.
Ironically.
I have only had 5 PayPal paid orders this month so far for a total of 166.00
My merchant account on the hand, has handled in access of 2000.00
It's true what BBH says.
Once you out of ebay. PP is not even a blip on the rest of the worlds computer screens.
I think the trend will continue downward for the bay and I hope more will wake up
and close their wallets or significantly reduce the $$ they pay that group of criminals.
Sorry I'm way
Need some rest... Got lots of work to do in the AM.
God I hate ebay.
