<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curioser, post: 2145330, member: 13823&quot;]Hello Mystified,</p><p><br /></p><p>I left eBay last year after threatening myself to do so for years.&nbsp; Too many fees, scammers, and NO ONE in SUPPORT came from USA and they only read the rule cards and offered no insight. Anyhow, I get this really well researched newsblog every day. The May 13 issue had 3 stories of interest to eBay sellers, not one of them good news.&nbsp; I can&#039;t seem to nav to the home page but maybe you can.&nbsp; One of the stories is about how eBay plans to charge their closing fee not only on the item you sell (including shipping, if applicable) but also on the state sales tax the buyer must pay.&nbsp; Not a huge fee on most items, but you can&#039;t control how much your potential buy may have to cough up in sales taxes so it&#039;s another wild card. Another blog article asks if this is even legal.</p><p><br /></p><p>ALSO, I believe eBay has now ruled that if a customer claims item received is incorrect or damaged and they file a &quot;not as described (NAD)&quot; report, they get to keep the item and they get refunded. (We know thousands of scammers have caught on and now NAD things they&nbsp; like but don&#039;t want to pay for!)I may have a jot or two wrong but I&#039;m not active there anymore, I just hear stories from other members. I discourage people from getting involved. For years, it&#039;s been known as a scammers haven, I have been contacted by many people who set up many user names to sneak in bids when original names were blocked by sellers.&nbsp; And, I have gotten returns of merch I never owned or sold--some inferior crap replacemtn. Also sold a necklace,the buyer switched the clasp, complained it was NAD but I know she had tried to sell it and didn&#039;t have luck.&nbsp; She did return MY necklace, thankfully, but it was altered and no one at eBay cared.</p><p><br /></p><p>READ ALL THE RULES!&nbsp; eBay is out to drive small sellers to other venues, they make tons of money on imported goods sold by mass retailers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
