Things that piss me off

It was in mid 2020. He would be in my blocked bidders' list but no idea which one. I've blocked a few f.....wits over time.

That's another annoying feature of ebay. You can't go back far enough in the sold section.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Should be the minimum requirement for your history. They like to treat punters like mushrooms. Feed em shit and keep them in the dark

Lowballers hey. Most annoying species - especially when all your listings are BIN!.

I was even lectured recently by a numbskull who said he was trying to do me a favour and that I would struggle to get on in life with my attitude. This was a $6 card which he offered $3 for. And he told me that he'd seen the card listed much much lower somewhere else. I wasn't rude to him but simply replied " why not purchase the cheaper card?" He then responded with a rant. Almost comical.

P.S. He had 8 feedback. I have 400.

Yep. Always read through the feedback. The only way you can make your dissatisfaction count is by giving them a positive but telling it how it is in the comments ie: buyer's remorse, etc.

I had a guy claim a card was damaged( card was Mint-Gem Mint) when the reality was that the player had just done their ACL. When I looked through their 100% feedback the phrase buyer's remorse came up a fair bit. He'd returned Kobe Bryant cards to multiple sellers when the card lost value. A real piece of work.

I let the arsehole keep the card and refunded him. I didn't want to give him my address for the return just in case I visited him one day( I calmed down after a week - but not until finding out that this lowlife owned 50% of a financial planning services company in Sydney with his brother). Based on his conduct as a buyer on ebay you would not want to do business with this tiprat and it's not a big stretch to think he would've f....d people over in his financial services dealings.

I thought about paying out on him on Social Media but it's not worth it. He seemed just the type of scoundrel who would sue. Or worse. A cheap skate gangster, lol.

Sometimes you just have to take it on the chin.

That's a true shocker. People like this have to be blocked out of the hobby, but so hard to do. There are dicks in all walks of life , best thing we can do is warn others so there's not too many victims.
 
Ebay's new scumbag charges for sending an item overeas. They now calculate their commision not just based of the cost of the item + postage but also on the customs tax/GST that the buyer pays. It's absolutely criminal. And this is on top of a $2 International fee. Ebay makes some banks look moral.

Ebays overall commision is like this for an item I just sold to Canada $85( item cost)+$29( postage)+$11.40( customs duty/GST, could be more than 10%)= $125~ + their BS international fee of $2. Just make up a fee, give it a name and screw the seller over. Imagine charging the seller commision on the buyer's GST? Unbelievable. They have added 50% onto the value of the item and then charged commission on that.

It's legalised theft imo. Monopolies suck.

I'm looking forward to waving goodbye to ebay when I have run through this load of cards. I would never want to deal with ebay as a fulltime seller.

Edit: I forgot to finish my whinge. I have not been able to sell to Sydney for 4 years. In the beginning I used to sell half my cards there which makes sense since it's twice as big as anywhere else. I tried to get ebay to sort it 2 years ago and had to give up despite them assuring me it had been kicked upstairs to the highest levels of IT( lol).
A bloke recently wanted to buy a $100 Soto card off me but couldn't because he was in Sydney. He messaged me and said he wanted to buy it but the listing said I didn't sell to Sydney. I told him I'd be happy to get the card to him if he could circumvent the system. I never heard from him again.

I only sell cards to mitigate the outgoings on wax. If I had to rely on ebay to make a genuine fist of it, I couldn't..... even if I wanted to. Wankers.
