More ebay BS

**bkhpah** · #1 03-07-2007, 05:14 AM

A few weeks ago I did a credit check on ebay to up my spending limit. This costs all of 5 dollars, so I did it. I have been a member over 5 years and have 100% feedback. I have had $2.30 sitting in an ebay account for about 4 of those years. So, when I did my 5 dollar limit increase, the charged me $2.70. Fair enough... So, they have different ways to pay, but I like to send out SCW business checks, thats what I did on 2-23-07. While this was in the mail I would get little computer generated "hate mails" from ebay telling me I need to send them payment. Since I aready did I just read them and moved on. They continue every day, so I contact them VIA email and tell them the payment has been send and is surely in thier system by now. Still no answers. After being away from the computer attending VF, I arrive home to ebay now suspending me, great news since a few items I was after were ending. More emails back and forth with more of their computer generated "crap" and no resolve, only now they are asking for 4 cents additional for "interest"...You have to be kidding me, for 4 years they made money on my lousy $2.30! I have reached the end. I sent more "letters" to them. Today, I am re-enstated but I have no idea if my check was cleared. This is, and was total BS..BKH

If you want to do a site that is better... Make the auctions end when there has been a period of 1 minute with no bids after the scheduled auction end time. How many people have tried to bid at the end but got timed out. This would truly let the high bidder win, not just the guy that got a bid in at the last second. It would also get more money for the seller.

How about GoingOnce.com?
Maybe add that to the software to end the auction, and get more money for the seller and give more buyers a chance to win. This might also help weed out the shill bidders.

Best of luck w/ your mission Joey...it's a big one but if there was ever a time to take a chunk of the market away from the eBay family, it'd be now!.

You're right on what's taken...seems almost everything!?.
Here's a few ideas that aren't...bidfortress.com, stablebid(s).com, defendedbid(s).com, lockedbid(s).com, certainbid(s).com, anchorbids.com, anchoredbid(s).com, assurebid.com, assuredbid(s).com, guardbid(s).com, guardedbid(s).com, bidguarded.com ...lots more!.

Just go to www.whois.net

You can search for available and already taken website addresses....

You're gonna need alot more than a catchy domain name to overtake eBay. There's already a zillion other auction sites out there right now, but only one that everyone goes to.
