third time lucky

ebay, how about you make your forum more useable, less unuseable, and more like "any other forum"

Hi thank you for your message, but to be perfectly honest we have absolutely no idea. Sellers have nothing to do with the processing of any payments we see no card or payment information at any point.All payments are processed by Ebay, we would suggest that you contact Ebay directly or potentially your card provider

Hi, can you tell me what this means?

The merchant has requested an authorisation for this payment and the final payment amount may change when the merchant completes the order.

my initial question.

this is a very ambiguous statement, and I would like more information on it.

are you the buyer or seller?

The Ebay Community is not used by, or visited by, Ebay staff. It is used solely by your fellow-ebayers (hence the word 'community'), information which is clearly shown to you when you arrive here. Not sure how you managed to miss that information once, let alone three times...? 

Whatever the reason, if you have a buying question that can't be answered by using the Help pages (links top and foot of any page) or reading the Money Back Guarantee (on every listing, and in various other places across the site, as well as on your order confirmation) please ask it clearly, and a knowledgeable fellow-ebayer will be happy to help.

If you must talk to Ebay (which is very rarely necessary, as full and clear information is provided on-site), use Help & Contact (links at top and foot of any page).  Live Chat and Request-a-callback are available during working hours.

I find this very, very hard to believe. as do many others.

the help and contact links provide you with a fantastic loop, which returns back on itself, and doesnt help.
