Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4	Sorta on topic ... it's eBay related, so ... I think, after 10+ years of doing business on eBay, I've been burned. I purchased an auto service cart from a guy with low feedback numbers, but everything was 100% positive. About 1/2 was him as a seller. The purchase occurred December 27th and I paid him on December 31st. His communication is poor at best, going 3 and 4 days between excuses about how he is having issues, ranging from his brother in a motorcycle accident to UPS saying the package is too big. The eBay and PayPal clock is 45 days from purchase and I'm fast approaching 30. But I know that all PayPal can do is lock his account and give me what balance he has in his fund and all eBay can do is cancel his account. So, I have very little recourse at all. Not sure why I posted all that ... but it makes me feel better.

(Issues like this are why I don't use paypal anymore)

Advanced Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 620 Joined: 24-December 03 From: Chester, VA Member No.: 22	In October, I sold some parts for around $1300.00, and the fees were $63.94. In December, I sold a Go-Kart for $525.00. The listing fees were $8.35, and today I get an invoice for $100.00. Do they have a yearly member's fee of some sort? According to their figures, the selling fees should have been about $27.00. A hundred dollars is such a random amount, I can't figure out what it is. I've already checked, and it isn't spam. Just seems odd. Any ideas, or similiar issues?
