Ebay rant

So I have had an ebay account since before it was a word.

I have spent over $10,000 on ebay in the last xx years.

Over time I have had problems with sellers and buyers even though I try not to use ebay to sell with.

in EVERY instance without fail-ebay and paypal-(you DO know that they are the same company-right?) have proceeded to completely ignore me. I have proof of fraud, proof of payment and/or buyer doesnt have proof of payment...
in every single case-I have been left "holding the bag" in multiple cases-I have been charged by ebay AND by paypal(double-dipping). Paypal has even gone so far as to make unauthorized charges to my credit card.

It has become such a problem-I refuse to have a paypal account as it provides ZERO buyer or seller protection.

for those of you who have never had a problem-congratulations-it is kind of like a motorcycle-its not "if" you will wreck-its "when"

for those of you who are skeptical-ask your friends.

I am choosing to no longer use ebay and theres NO WAY I would use paypal and

an EVEN FURTHER chance I would give any bank account or credit card info.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
