I hate ebay

[russell]

I've had three auctions removed recently, for "violating terms," which apparently were these:

- you can't have "personal checks and money orders" in your DESCRIPTION. they don't allow you to set anything but PayPal as a payment option in the little "Payment Options" box thing, but even in your description, apparently its tyranny to offer other options. hard cunts just want you to use paypal because they own it.

- you can't have "LIKE NEW" in your description because apparently it deceives people that are looking for new new items. well why can you have "white shoes" in your title when someone might just be looking for shoes? bullshit, "like new" and "new" are something every person who has ever used ebay can tell apart and make use of.

between these increasingly oppressive "terms," the stupid reworkings of the seller fees that look like they help you but actually cost more, new buyer/seller feedback policy (buyers can only receive positive), and the bi-weekly redesigns, I'm about ready to create my own ebay replacement

"near mint" is what a lot of mtg cards are labeled as on ebay. isn't that the same?

I love eBay.

I bought Planet Earth on Blu-ray for only 35 bucks. Free shipping.

I guess they don't care for that because it's more specific collector jargon, i.e. you wouldn't describe most things as "mint"

ive looked through a comic book magazine before, and theres like actual definitions for stuff like that. so i guess if its definition is lined out then its ok
