Member since Sept 2007 Did Over $70,000 in sales the first 12 months. Ten days after Ebay eliminated seller feed back I was extorted, threatened with a negative feedback if I did not sent a second charger for the phone. Only one charger was included in the auction. The buyer’s extortion e-mail was nearly word for word the example EBay lists as an example of extortion. Yet EBay did nothing. I have had a buyer open a dispute 36 days after the auction. My Return policy is seven days from receipt no questions asked, no exceptions. (100% refund) EBAY HELD FUNDS NEVER CONTACTED ME. I feel the sellers are guilty to proven innocent. Are we not in America? Looking for an alternative to Ebay( FEEBAY). I am a seller with 100% Feedback.

I don't entirely understand why they would force a company that has nothing to do with ebay to police ebay for products that are being sold ON ebay.... none of which having anything to do with Tiffany's. All that makes my head hurt. Couple this with the ruling between Google and Viacom, and I'm a little concerned about the US Court's ability to rule in cases involving the Internet. It just seems too easy to pull the wool over a judge's eyes with misinformation. Dang. <em>Erika's last blog post..<a href='http://www.hypeelite.com/miami/miami-web-design/' rel="nofollow">Miami Web Design</a></em> You know, I agree with jeflin – ebay has recently become extremely pro-buyer… but if you ask me, that would lean toward them doing more to prevent people passing fakes off as the real thing.

Penalizing them for some errant sellers and forcing more stringent rules may just make the marketplace impossible for other sellers. <em>jeflin's last blog post..<a href='http://jeflin.net/2008/08/11/overhead-supply-can-trap-your-money/' rel="nofollow">Overhead Supply Can Trap Your Money</a></em> ebay is already very pro-buyer in their rules.
