Godzilla Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 (edited) But I'm betting they wait until after trying to claim their fee before "appropriate action" is taken .... link Too right Seriously though, I think eBay's attitude is really crap. The reply reads to me as though their main concern is that transactions don't take place outside of eBay - thus denying their income. The fact that bidders could become victims of fraud - potentially to the tune of thousands of dollars - seems to be of little consequence to the bastards. If there wasn't so much good stuff on there I'd boycott 'em Whatever their intended action may be, it hasn't included closing this miserable piece of scum's account yet has it?

Godz link Think it's a case of never "really reading" e-mail contents.... often think they catergorise the subject headers and then issue a pre written response .... have had what appear pre written responses that were nowt to do with initial query.... but obviously picking from their list of "subjects" determines the response you get even if "content" not addressed.... so definately "crap" like you say .... As for action.... account not yet closed but that'll probably be the action when they don't get their fees ....

Guest Arcticsoulboy Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Oh man, I can´t wait to see how this story ends! Imagine getting that Paypal invoice for $100 million and then the idiot seller gets his eBay invoice - oooh sweet. This thread has certainly made work very much more enjoyable the past few days, now I´m just awaiting the grand finale. When are the media gonna catch up on this?
