"Buyer protection fee"? I don't think so. What a scam!

Was just about to purchase an item when I noticed a ~£3 "buyer protection fee". What an absolute scam. As a buyer, I absolutely refuse to pay eBay for the privilege of bare minimum customer service. Foisting hidden fees and extra charges onto buyers ...

Uk buyers now not allowed to buy from America!

Has any other UK buyer had this problem? I'm absolutely disgusted with eBay for ever implementing it. It's so discriminating and weird. Basically if you're in the UK, you are now no longer allowed to buy from any seller in America, no matter how hard...

Counterfeit LEGO SET 42171 - Mercedes-AMG F1

I consider myself pretty savvy when it comes to Lego and I recently purchased a Lego 42171 F1 car. The photographs showed a box with all the correct "LEGO" & "Technic" branding so I purchased the set. The set arrived and the outer packing suggested i...
