Discuss your ebay experiences here, whether it's getting double charged by the same company or dealing with their retarded support staff or anything

I like how the ebay app is such poo poo you can't even contact your horrible sellers through it to tell them to suck your cock

I've had good luck selling poo poo on amazon. Don't even have to post a picture and they give you a couple bucks for shipping. Pretty nice.

Sold my monitors and other crap through there. Stays up as long as you want. Etc

eBay was awesome when you could troll the poo poo out of it and people were dumb enough to send a 13 year old items, automatically assuming they'd pay. "I put cash in the post, honest!"

Now they just gently caress you over on charges for selling anything.

Do you ever actually look at how they are prolapsing your anus on flat and final value fees? Amazon is great for buying poo poo from 3rd party sellers claiming the product was defective then filing an A-Z claim and getting all of your money back while keeping whatever you bought.

Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time
For y'all have knocked her up
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe
I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own shit
the trick is to never sell things on ebay and only buy from retailers with an ebay front

i ordered a video game thing, the seller never marked it as shipped, i contacted them and asked what the gently caress, they said what i bought wasn't in stock and refunded me within hours, and in a few days i got what i ordered anyway and was never recharged, after ordering again from a different seller. two for one son.

Depending on the shipping cost of your item it gets into the 17-19% range because the commission is taken off the total amount the customer paid including shipping because chinese dropshipping assholes decided they would be funny and charge way too much for shipping on items to circumvent fees.

Basically what I'm saying here is you're a loving idiot if you ever buy anything greater than 7lbs to sell on ebay and actually offer anything but local pickup. no one uses local pickup

All those born beneath an angry star.
I had really good experiences with ebay, most of my stuff came from Chinese seller and it does take a month to ship but stuff were always solid for the price.

I had items that were wrong, they just shipped the correct one and I got to keep a couple of free shoes and shirts so it wasn't that bad :)

Paypal on the other hand makes me want to kill myself

I think your wife ordered those car ears on purpose. You may want to have a chat with her.

"Guys no no use Venmo instead! It's so much better and doesn't gently caress you like those PayPal fuckers!"

*ignores that Venmo is owned by PayPal*
*can't actually explain why it's better than PayPal*
*still uses it anyways and forces everyone else to use it too despite all normals being fine with PayPal*

Basically some nerds didn't understand that making a donation account and having it instantly flooded with money from accounts around the world is indistinguishable from a scam and their baby brains still can't deal with it so paypal is the penultimate evil in this hosed up bullshit world
