Ok, I get the run of the mill bullshit from an ebay buyer saying they cant afford to pay for the cd for this reason or that reason....heard it a million times, dont even really respond to the email cuz it aint worth my time, I block the user from further bidding on my auctions, they email me back a few weeks saying they dont know why I blocked them, they say its not like it costs me money to list stuff on ebay so what difference did it make they didnt pay....this type of shit kinda irritates me, so I begin to respond but first I think to myself, hmmmm let me see how much money ebay has charged me for listing shit, so I go on ebay and look, they have records for the past 17 months for me, so I add everything up and its around $4,620....that dont make no fuckin sense, the buyer or fake ass buyer pisses me off and then when I find out how much I actually paid ebay I get even mader, not to mention god lord knows how much I have gotten fucked in the ass by paypal fee's....scared to even sit down and calculate that shit....at least they arent as bad as amazon but they are steadily raising their prices, under what basis I dont know, its all automated, I sure the fuck hope my money didnt go towards that ebay 2.0 shit, cuz that shit is garbage....ohhh well, im through bitching.
makes me fuckin sick

some fools don't know that the higher the auction ends at, the higher the seller ends up paying in fee's. i've had a couple situations where the bidder would pay me back the listing and closing fee's so i wouldn't file a claim on it. just a couple weeks ago someone won a auction for 9 bucks and he emailed me saying he couldn't pay for it, that was ONE time i was happy he didn't pay for it cuz i listed it on amazon right after and it sold for 40.
at least you can file for the non-paying bidder claim. only thing is ebay has updated how it works and it's now more of a run around trying to figure out how and when you get a refund.
paypal's been really pissing me off lately, i wish i could just say i don't accept it but i think it'd just screw me out of getting some higher bids...

man fuck ebay .. we should rebel and start our own auction site. at least for rap cds and we throw the other shit we get on ebay. email all of our buyers and let them know that the top sellers of underground rap are converting to this shit. if only i knew shit about websites. i dont even want to begin to think how much ebay has fucked me in the ass for.
i get plenty of those.. i just block the buyer and make sure i file for a non-paying bidder.. if we all continue to file Non-Paying Bidder alerts to all these deadbeat buyers we may be able to get a point across to these fools after they get suspended for having more than 1 Non-Paying Bidder Warnings..
yall see the new buyer block preferences....you can block bidders automatically who have received 2 non-paying bidder stricks within the past month....so they wont be allow to bid regardless of who they are....thats kinda tight because it happens alot with those newbies that get kicked off early, just search buyer block preferences on help on ebay
the fee's are what is pissing me off....ebay should give the seller a discount if the buyer pays with paypal because you are helping the ebay corporation out by padding their pockets 2 times...I am aware that accepting credit cards costs money even at a business and dont expect paypal to cut their rates but maybe on the actual ebay site once the buyer pays with paypal to maybe cut your ebay fee's for that % listing in half or something like that

Fortunately I'm a legit buyer with no such problems. But, on the real, you get some money off the ebay listtings, right

yeah but I still want more of the pie....im trying to put 25000-35000 on a house and every thousand counts...it pisses me off i have paid over 4000 to them in the past year or so and probably at least that to paypal also
I can look at it both ways. Without ebay and all the customers they bring to me each and every day, would I be able to sell the things I do for the prices the sell at? Hell no. Ebay is a rare thing and you can try and build another site, but it would take years to develop what ebay has given us. Sure, they do take a lot of money and paypal can be the biggest fucks there is, but without them, I wouldn't make near as much money as I do. They are a necessary evil in order to make the money that I do. I have to tolerate them. Especially when I can sell DVD's, CD's, and rare games for $50 plus. I love that.
