Right now, I **hate** ebay.

I've been a member of e-bay forever. At least five, plus years... I've sold occasionally, bought more often. Never ever have I had a problem!

Last week I listed my PSP system and some games as a lot auction. I got a Buy it now seller within the first two days. Great. I was excited it sold for what I wanted for it. Then I started looking at the buyer a bit closer. Negative feedback!!! He didn't even have any positive feedback! I started getting nervous. Sure enough the arse sent me a FAKE paypal notification of payment. But if you read it more closely it'll say that paypal account manager will deposit the money into my account when I email them a delivery confirmation number.

At least I was smart and though screw that! Whatever. Errr. So I press fraud charges with ebay and they finally get around to checking it out. They guy is removed from ebay and they reimburse me my final auction fees.

I relist the auction. This time I put in my preferences that no one with negative feedback can bid on my auctions. That's all great and dandy. Now the damn auction was purchased again with Buy it now! This time the guy is a new buyer, registered the same day that the auction was won... yesterday. The problem: no feedback. I doubt the guy has paypal and I'm sure I'm going to be an "attempt" scam again. Nice. I'm not happy. Not in the least. I just hope this guy proves me wrong and money will be in my paypal account before I know it. This totally sucks if its not going to end that way. I'll have to wait more days, go through everything all over again! ::sigh::

It really makes me want to not do ebay anymore!
