  Couldn’t guess? Well its because EBay sucks. Derr. Pardon my sarcasm and let me just say it feels good to not be alone. My girlfriend actually told me to never go on eBay again cause it stresses me to much….So i came here to vent about it and honest to the man above do all I can to see them crumble.

  My story is long but ill just let you know what happened in the past few days.

  I usually do sales one month and take a month off. less then 30 days ago i sold a phone and got positive rating charged the guy 4 bucks to ship it. He of coarse wasn’t happy paying four dollars so he decided to give me a low DSR Rating on shipping fees. Since I only sold that one thing Ebay invented there own type of math 4 + 4 = 17 GO FIGURE

  So I bought a ton of stuff and obviously didn’t make my rating go up. But wait it gets better, they supposedly take the last 30 days of your DSR ratings, that’s wrong because I had listed 7 items 1 week ago (yeah up i wasn’t even blocked) after some sold and some didn’t I went to re list and that’s when I noticed i was blocked and my DSR rating was low.

  So here is the kicker I only had one previous sale which is what brought down my average, I received payment on one of the newest products a week later and asked so nicely for the buyer to give me 5 stars across the board and he did. so my average went from a 3.7 to a 3.8.

  WAIT A MINUTE that doesn’t make any sense I don’t get it. So technically i only sold 2 things and got money for it in the past 60 days and my dsrs are 3.8 all because some guy didn’t like the fact i charged him 4 dollars to send a 2 pound box across the united states.

  I read some of your postings here and was puzzled on how you guys have spoken to eBay. I emailed them and called and still no response. How do i get through to them.

  You know what EBay has taken years off my life with this stress. They have created egotistical and unrealistic buyers, not to mention they have turned sellers into broke complainers. Its so messed up THEY ARE GIVING 10 % OFF ALL SALES. SOUNDS GOOD BUT NO OOOOOOOO THE REALITY IS ebay GETS THE 10% BACK PLUS MORE FROM OUR fINAL vALUE fEES.

  So what happens now how do we shut down the evil empire eBay and then take over the world?

  p.s. pardon the grammar its 4am and im stressin

  I can totally feel for all of you. I am a seller/buyer on ebay as well. I had 100% feedback until a week or so ago. I sold a camera to someone and they did not read the listing that said the door is broken! Well needless to say they freaked out at their own stupidity, but directed all the anger toward me. They told me send me $10 back or I will leave neg fb! I asked what was wrong why they weren’t happy they said because I was vague about the broken door. When I said what more could I have said than the door is broken? They repeated their demand! I called ebay ((ebay 1-866-643-2959) when they ask for a pin just type in 123456 and follow the prompts. The wait is actually not very long at all)) I was told by a CSR that was feedback extortion. I had no idea what that was until he told me about it. I felt confident that what he told me was true. He stated that if they did leave the feedback it would be removed! Well its still there! So I called back and asked to a supervisor who assured me that she would personally take care of this and call me back. Well I never got that call or even an email. I called again and again and emailed and emailed. It did nothing but make me more angry! In the meantime this backwoods buyer had been emailing me on a daily basis I said “have a blessed day” once to her and she told me to go blow my blessing and a few other obscene things. I sent them all to ebay they have done nothing! They told me if I got a judge (any kind of judge) to send in a court order to remove it they would. I said how about I have my lawyer subpoena all the records of this transaction including all the service calls (directly to ebay) and see if a judge wont find ebay liable with the misinformation i was given. All of the stress I have had to deal with because of this has been a burden on my family. The CSR responded with well you will have to contact the California Department of Consumer Affairs not at all related to ebay you can reach them at (1800-952-5210) he said they would handle my concerns better than he could. So off I go. I will be calling them Monday morning. I hope all of you will do the same with your complaints. It took me 3 hours to get this number, so use it!
  Thanks, Suz
