Buying

I'm very un happy with ebay it lost me a bargain by at the last five minutes to go demanded proof of age . I already had put a bid on the article no issues.. I input my card details and ebay said not good enough it had to be a credit not debit card.. I retrieved my credit card.. Input the details.. Ebay reported a problem... And I ran out of time... Not pleased. Honestly ebay are not what they were.. I have been a member since 97 and only now ask for proof of age!
