Oh, I see it now.
It was rather disguised.

Yeah, mea culpa---thought I'd attach it to the already-running eBay thread, when it probably deserved its own.
Nothing much has changed...

ebay always has, always will and will continue to fuck its sellers over.
Its why as a buyer, I goto ebay to complain and as a seller I go to paypal.
Its odd that 2 sides of the same coin act so differently, but then as buyer recently I have gone direct to paypal as the magic words make them move quicker. The magic words are 'You have 2 weeks then I goto my bank and do a charge back', usually works
All thats really changed is ebay have gone public now, but its always been stacked against the seller.
Altho I note that ebay and/or paypal are taking their insurance (buyer protection) away on alot more items, I was going to spend a small fortune on a personalised phone number but the bidding got to a certain height, I noticed the ebay item wasnt protected but other items he was selling was protected.
I was also going to buy bulk bp970G (8000mAh) batteries for my canon vid cam, they are only really like 6000-6500 in my experience if sold as 8000mAh, but still you can get at least 5 good quality of 10 rubbish of them for the price of a genuine battery, so you get at least triple-quadruple the power, and the batteries wasnt insured either.
I don't know why these items wasnt insuranced but it sure as fuck stopped me parting with my cash.
