Reverse the fees?

Considering selling is now free, and the fees are just paid by the buyer via this daft new protection scheme, has anyone thought of just refunding the buyer the fees? I might do a test! "Buy this item and I will refund you the 75p + 4% new buyer prot...

Apparently I "authorised a payment to eBay Commerce UK Ltd"

I made an offer on an item where I said I would pick this item up and cash on collection. Seemingly my offer was accepted and inadvertently without any clicks of buttons, I've paid for this and postage too. Since when did an offer, and acceptance, co...

eBay incessant rejigging their listings (and selling protocols)

I wish to go eBay would stop pissing around rejigging and no doubt ‘refining’ how they list some items (especially mobile phones) and how we can filter results. Filters are very useful to stop wading through all kinds of irrelevant stuff, but now unl...
