Ok, so I get to the point were I NEED cash, need food, need to pay a bill before forclosuer etc... So I decide to sell my entire heroquest collection (an old board game from the '80's), worth about $500-$800 depending on bidder... I type up the auction, go to list it... and ebay says I am restricted from selling. I have 100% possitive feed back...
They have recently enacted a new policy, that I still am finding it hard to understand since its based on 30 days, but maybe 12 months unless its a full moon on friday then it goes by twinky filling content. It all sounds like some drunk monkey thought it up...
Anyway aparently the DNS DNR DSR whatever the frack rating each person that buys from you gives you can prevent you from being able to sell at all... I am aparently 0.1 or so points under on one of the 4 ratings (shipping time, even though I mention in my auctions I am slow shipping things out) -- I am almost positive this is from someone that tried to rip me off in italy... paypal ruled in my favor, and the guy wound up just giveing me my $ and admiting that he got the item.
So if this is not stupid enough already, it gets worse... It can be abused!
Want to sell something but there is some one else that sells the same thing as you, and he sells it cheaper? or maybe you just hate another ebay user?
Buy an item from him, whether you pay for it or not... and give him a 0 rating, to drop his average below 4.1... then ebay will not let him sell anything. Even the Live Help guy said "Yea that is possible, feel free to send in a complaint" yea that will do a lot of good. They recomend you create a new acount to sell something..................... again even worse...
