Vampire on eBay.

I don't know where the idea that restrictions on your seller account would affect your ability to buy came from, but think about it...its basically nonsense.
Even if your account was suspended, eBay doesn't track who is buying an item, or place restrictions on who you can sell to.
If there was a problem...you'd just buy it with a different account.
It's a bogus argument.

i've never had an issue with my listings on ebay.
Sounds like someone is screwing with him.

ya think???

[curtis]

Since he's setting up distribution with at least one vendor, maybe he could just tell eBay to go fvck itself?  The whole thing just sounds ridiculous, and considering eBay's pulling 10% of the sales of his hard work which infringes nothing, eBay should just fvck off.

Doesn't take much thought to reach that conclusion, does it?
The upsetting part is that it's probably someone in the Amiga community that has a problem with the project.
It's f'ing silly.

Agree. But I think the problem with eBay is that it is automated to the max. Which is fine for smooth transactions. But if someone wants to f... with you that's automated too.  Unravelling the mess is only semi automated as it requires human intervention.

I think it was Kesa.

This is true.  eBay's policies have taken a very blanket, hands-off approach to the system.  While most likely a matter of scale, it can be rather harsh and unfriendly, not to mention quite uninformed.

We all know of a number of bogus listings which keep reoccurring like bad rash or psycho ex, yet here we are.

Snag with Amibay is, they're demand geolocation by electronic means before you can post - true for buyers as well as sellers.

I tried amibay, it was a scammer. I wouldn't buy from anyone on there again.

That sucks. I've had nothing but good experience there.

Likewise. I think it's a tremendous site.

Count your blessings. I'm blacklisted before I even posted anything.

Thank you Amigan Mafia. Anytime I get that spare A1000 keyboard operational, I know where I WON'T be selling it.

I sold an A1200 keyboard on Amibay yesterday and then noticed the money wasn't in my account this morning because I'd made a typo in my email address when communicating with the buyer.
I Sent the keyboard in good faith considering that it was my mistake and messaged the buyer to cancel the transaction and send it the correct address.
I Got in this evening and checked Amibay and he'd sent the money and also asked me to confirm that I'd got it for his own peace of mind.

I expect that most people there would behave the same way so you should not tar everyone with the same brush due to a bad experience.
