Re: eBay Has Gone To Hell In A Hand Basket!!!
I had the same thing happen to me about 6 months ago with some Marlins Mitchell and Ness throwback jerseys. They were sold in the Marlins team store when they did a turn back the clock night. I coudnt get an answer as to the problem. I even wrote numerous times with the proof that they were authentic and still nothing. THese were essentially game issued jerseys with the same tagging confirmed with Kyle Hess' Juan Encarnacion jersey from that night but I was warned. Now I have these jerseys (autographed and JSA authenticated) but no way to sell them.

Re: eBay Has Gone To Hell In A Hand Basket!!!
But Ken.......
Yes, I knew their "policy".
But listen.....Who in the f&$k is EBAY to tell a seller who is using their service what to charge for an item?
Don't you see...I was not saying "I am rufusing to pay paypal's fees, so if you want to use their service, YOU pay them!". No...this is very different. Even if the result is the SAME. I don't understand why people can't get the reasoning behind this?
If I clearly state in an auction, "I am selling this (enter for whatever reason, that's not important) and I want payment in the form of a personal check, cashier's check, or money order....", then that's IT!
But then I take it one step further, to try to be a decent and user friendly ebay seller, and I offer up "But if you want to use paypal because of the extra added buyer's protection they offer, then I will accept it. All I ask is that you pay the additional fee incurred, based on the closing auction price."
Now please don't come at me with the obvious.....YES, I know, ebay has a policy that states you can't pass along paypals fees to a buyer.
My argument stands on it's merit. I was not, am not, trying to get the buyer to pay for fees I NORMALLY would have. I already stated, essentially, that this is a NO-PAYPAL auction...BUT, if that's the something you just MUST have, then reimburse me because I AM GOING TO PAY PAYPAL for it.
Don't you see? I am paying paypal. I am PAYING the darn service! I AM....not the buyer......I AM....it is automatically TAKEN from my proceeds when the payer pays for the item!
So why if I make it perfectly clear....now listen Ken.....if I make it perfectly clear this is the CHOICE OF THE BUYER in INSISTING on using PAYPAL on my auction which I STATE I PREFER THEY NOT BE used....that they should pay whatever amount is taken from me (again....I payed for it!) THAT I WAS FORCED TO PAY PAYPAL by offering their service to the buyer.....with his/her understanding that using paypal, which was HIS/HER CHOICE KNOWING THE ADDITIONAL FEES INCURRED BY THE BUYER WILL BE PAID BY THE SELLER, BUT REIMBURSED BY THE BUYER.............will result in this request.
Don't you get it???????
ebay gets their normal part of fee as on any auction...
paypal is not involved when they normally wouldn't have been, so they will get THEIR fees from the seller automatically......
......and HERE is THE RUB.....
AFTER THAT POINT, WHO IN THE HELL IS EBAY TO TELL THE BUYER AND SELLER HOW TO HANDLE THE REST OF THE TRANSACTION? THEY HAVE ALREADY MADE THEIR FEES WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE IN BUSINESS......WHY BE USER UNFRIENDLY IF BOTH SIDES TOTALLY AGREE WITH HOW THE REST OF THE TRANSACTION IS BEING HANDLED???????????
They suck......I hate them......the idiots employed there that make these rules are all imbeciles with no business sense, no ability to reason, and are user-UNFRIENDLY. The only solice I can take from it is that they are losing millions of dollars because guys like me that won't put up with that kind of stupid mentality REFUSE TO USE THEM ANYMORE!
I hope you see it my way......because if you don't, you're wrong.

Re: eBay Has Gone To Hell In A Hand Basket!!!
There's your answer Triple xXx......
Maybe you should have flew a little under the radar and not come out with such an ilicit auction.....but I feel your pain. You try to jump in the mix, and make a buck, and they are there to shut you down. It's a harsh reality.......but this is over and above ebay's rules.
In this particular case, I'm not sure it's an ebay "policy" thing you're breaking.....it's a policy they have to adhere to for THEM to stay in business.....not necessarilly a "rule" they made up that you are breaking.

Re: eBay Has Gone To Hell In A Hand Basket!!!
Triple xXx,
That tutorial they had you painfully go through? What did it cover?
After reviewing your shipping fees, I see you may have a type of "open-ended" shipping charge based on weight.
I have no idea, but could this be the policy buster? You have a set charge for a 2-lb. box, but then charge .75 for every pound incriment increase.
Maybe they feel you might be using cinder blocks as shipping peanuts to jack up the money you're making on shipping??

Re: eBay Has Gone To Hell In A Hand Basket!!!
I know you don't state this in your auction, but sellers are no longer allowed to accept checks or money orders as payment, period. That is their policy and as I found out the hard way (canceled auctions), you can no longer state that you accept these forms of payment. You can only accept Paypal or other approved forms of electonic payment.
Just for those of you who don't know this. Like I said, I found out the hard way.
