They do that? Wow, payfail sucks.

A lot of guys on a golf forum I frequent are really unhappy with Ebay's more recent focus on buyer protection. Basically, a buyer can do no wrong, except in extreme circumstances. Lots of stories about buyers leaving bad feedback because the seller dared to send a message inquiring about slow payment, things like that.

Wow.
Good to know.
Haven't sold anything there in over two years.

That is one of the things that concerned me the most. I am always willing to work with a buyer in any way to keep them happy. I also know I'm honest and ship immediately. But it seems like the buyer protection is considerably better then the seller protection. Going through the horror stories, a growing number of them are sellers.

I thought I was safe doing that too, but when someone mentioned cegars on my poopal account, they canceled a withdrawl I made 2 days prior and held my money for 2 weeks.....

poopal sucks, will not cover you, protection is a joke.....I bought an electronic item that was never delivered, had proof that the seller could never had delivered it to me as they never signed in the account the item came from (only place to buy it) and even with the proof, they took the sellers worn in an email that said "i sent it" .....sorry for the rant...

Wish there was a better way that was just as quick...

Make buyer sign for delivery.

I got mixed up in a new scam of sorts on ebay this week.

I bought a Porsche Euro DVD for our 911. I did a "buy now" and then the seller emails me that the DVD is a copy and not to give him negative or neutral feedback if I take the DVD. He would give me a refund immediately and cancel the auction... I guess that is OK, but... I did not get his email until I got the DVD's and gave him negative feedback. Nowhere in the listing does this say it's a pirated copy.

Basically, he cancelled the transaction and he is refunding my money. When I open the package and saw homemade copies, I was livid. He said, "what do you expect for $70?"
