I am in a very small way repairing and refurbishing, I am not buying to sell or manufacturing an item to sell as per ebay's definition of a business. I am also selling a lot of items but they are have all been in my possession for between five and at least fifteen years.</P><P>Repairing/refurbishing may generally be businesslike activity but it's not ebay's definition or at&nbsp; least it wasn't; perhaps that has changed too?</P><P>Anyway you miss the point as ebay are allowing many sellers who are businesses in their terms as well as yours to operate private accounts. I am already nailed as a business with the extra costs and vulnerability to unreasonable and dishonest buyers without any associated protection.&nbsp;</P><P>The buyer I have issue with is selling high priced new gaming computers with a guarantee and has been for years. Because he is a private seller, his buyers are not afforded the consumer rights they really do deserve with such products; Ebay will not acknowledge that this person is a business, proving they are, in this respect, not fit for purpose.&nbsp; &nbsp;</P></DIV></DIV><P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 16 Sep 2025 19:23:35 GMT mx5bitz_uk 2025-09-16T19:23:35Z
