This is in response to eBay Australia dictating how Australian users pay for their eBay purchases..As from June 17 eBay Australia will only allow purchases to be paid for through Paypal, a company they own and only through them. This is just greedy and is uncompetitive by its nature. You are only the middle man eBay, and we have the right to pay for our purchases as we want…Bye Bye Clowns www.oztion.com.au This a new updated version with music added Enjoy while you can because rest assured Warner Music will soon have it disabled… Ebay, Paypal and Warner…all the same

I have sold stuff here and there for about 5 years on eBay…too lazy for a garage sale or did not want to drive to Goodwill!

These last two months have been a nightmare for me on eBay! I first wonder how in the world eBay can freeze my Pay Pal account when an item is in dispute that can take weeks to resolve!!! I have committed to buy things from this craft website that is like eBay but you don’t bid and everything is handmade PLUS they use Pay Pal. I also have a store on there too. I was on vacation and I was getting e-mails from buyers with a Pay Pal message "account in suspension contact seller for details." Makes me look good!

I sold a scanner for 0.00 on eBay. I stated that it was given to me, it looks in mint condition (it did), I stated there was no software or USB cable. I again,stated "I" never used but I listed it in used condition. I noted at the bottom contact me for insurance and "item is as is condition." So, I took it to the post office and they packed it with shipping peanuts for me. Plus, I wrapped it in bubble wrap too. So, they buyer tells me it did not work and Canon told him it was from shipping. The buyer told e-Bay it scanned green plus… The scanner was wrapped in a thin piece of bubble wrap (lie #1) and was packaged with plastic grocery bags (lie #2) and it was in a huge box and it was shook around (lie #3). I had to buy a box at the post office for it! So, e-Bay has placed my account in -0.00 and it locked from money going in and going out until I pay this guy. This is on all websites not e-Bay only! If I was going to pay 0.00 for something I would ask the seller if it worked and get it in writing! So, I called e-Bay and asked about seller rights and they got horrible with me on the phone. They told me it was seller fraud what I wrote and they can close my account. Nothing was fraud. Also, those who e-Bay here and there is is an insurance requirement now….e-Bay now wants the seller to buy insurance. That is fine. I just wish I knew it in this case!

Two weeks ago I bought a cell phone case cover for my daughter. It was advertised as new in box. The paint was chipping and the side corner was crack to where it kept coming off the phone. The seller denied it. Filed a claim and e-Bay said my daughter probably did it…not knowing what she was doing putting the cover on! I have a high rating with e-Bay! So, they were found in the right in a situation I am in now. Plus it was her dad that noticed it when he was putting the case cover on and the faults in it and told us it was used.

Plus the same day two weeks ago I sold 2 Lexmark Printers to the same guy. I also sold a Blackberry Tour Phone. The Lexmark guy sent me a message stating he had no e-Bay account. He has stars buy his name and he messaged me back on e-Bay and he has no account. Then the guy that bought my Tour sent me a message and told me he bought an i-Phone instead and did not want the Tour. So, I did a claim dispute on both and when I was talking to e-Bay about the 0 scanner they told me to close out my two other disputes and they did not have to pay and I would get a final listing fee. I have yet to see that. I thought once you committed to buy you were basically obligated too and did not get off the hook that easy.

I was wondering if it is just me? I have several positive ratings too.

What would happen if I closed the credit card (saying I lost mine) get a new one or use a different credit card instead, plus I am moving so I will have a new address? Would Pay Pal catch on? I am scared to do e-Bay. I just need Pay Pal and don’t see how e-Bay has the authority to lock my account with funds still there!!!

Thanks Tam for acting in the video for me! www.oztion.com.au is the best site for auctions in australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft, without any due process, can suspend you from e-bay an harm your reputation w/ customers when they read that your account has been suspended. You also are out time & money (payment fees due to E-bay despite Ebay & microsoft jerking off not just their disputed listing but all your listings that have nothing to do with microsoft. I ask you, “Is this fair?”
