I just love this quote by antiquesbygeorge on this thread (post #14) where he says eBay should get rid of the smaller sellers "who clog up the system".[/quote]

I like the response to antiquesbygeorge in post #54:

Quote:As for the getting rid of small time sellers comment... they should ditch you as well then. 1 sale in 30 days... average of 10-12 a month prior? 500 selling feedback in 6 years? You're really one to talk....

Seller who criticized eBay's new policy receives threatening phone call from eBay:

Quote:Someone took issue with Post 105's popularity, or something that got said afterward, and as a result, Maude just got a phone call from Ebay, letting her know which of her listings that Ebay could end right now if they chose, and why, and warned Maude to BE CAREFUL about "future similar listings". After the hand spanking, the items are allowed to stand, but Maude must be a good little careful girl "in future". I feel so...helped!

Thank you, anonymous loser! Thank you!

I'm simply stunned that ebay has lowered itself (even further) to calling sellers and in effect threatening them.

Next she'll find a severed horse head in her bed...

It's nothing new really. Should of seen some of my rants
when ebay pulled it's auction interference with the PP logos.

I have had my life threatened by them LieWorld types as well as had my auctions messed with by ebay implying that I would be suspended for interfering with "site operations".

ebay has truly stooped to levels lower than
street gangs with the thugs they hire via LieWorld.

I would love to just be face to face with one of them for 5 minutes.

Its very possible that she'll wake up and find a horse head.

Quote:Parents rush for horse head toy

Parents are so desperate not to disappoint their daughters that bidding wars are raging on auction sites such as eBay where on Saturday the toy was selling for up to £90 three times the retail price of £29.99.

MOST people pick a posting ID name that isn't so obvious as to who it is!

Auctionbytes article:

Quote:Some sellers were up-in-arms over aspects of eBay's new Get It Fast feature, fearing they would cause tension between them and buyers...

Would eBay consider taking out Service Transit Time on eBay.com? "We believe we've addressed the issues and we will continue to monitor it," Durzy said.
