    eBay trick/flaw?

    I may have uncovered a trick or a flaw, depending on how you view it, on eBay. I had a bid for an item that opened at $1, and I put a max bid of $50 (all numbers in this thread are fake, since the bidding is still open and who knows who reads this forum). The current bid then became $2, with...

    eBay Sellers Taxed!

    I got an email, and checked the eBay website and found it to be true. From the email: $20,000 seems quite a bit, I know, but how concerned should I be about this?

    eBay

    OK, I'm officially fed up with eBay. It just seems to be popu from a real store as it was on offer, to get another remote, and therefore decided to sell the game disc on eBay. At the top of the description I wrote (this is literally the size and font colour I used): Wii Play 9 games (without...

    ebay using Australia as Guinea Pig to test forced use of Pay Pal

    http://www.theage.com.au/news/web/ebay-still-forcing-sellers-to-use-paypal/2008/07/04/1214951011001.html This has been going on for several months now.

    Look what's now on eBay

    He's already got 2 bids pending --- meaning he's considering their offers. Since what he's asking is astronomical (pun intended) I can only imagine what they must have offered. Item listing. Here's some other nonsense he's peddling.

    Sacked for using ebay at work? It's your employer's fault!

    Or so claim the idiot union officials at Neath Port Talbot council, in response to nine workers losing their jobs for using ebay for up to two hours a day in work time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/7005703.stm This quote staggered me: I'm sorry...what? So if someone was sacked...

    Funny thing about that Geller eBay link

    I found this very amusing. I was late reading this week's commentary (so sue me), and when I clicked on the link to Uri Geller's "Tea w/ Uri Geller at UK Estate & Spoon Bending Session" on eBay (sadly, the auction is over), I noticed a section called "Similar items from all eBay sellers".

    eBay hackage

    Today, 35 items appeared for sale under my eBay account. Needless to say, I did not put them up for sale. An inquiry to eBay has removed the items and all charges.
