While I fight for patient dignity, I fight for ALL HUMAN DIGNITY. Today I have a guest writer, deepgroove1. My friend Melissa has a beautiful custom audio system (vacuum tube amplifier, DAC, cables, and speakers) that deepgroove1 created for her.
These are deepgroove1's own words about her experiences with eBay. I know from personal experience that eBay is no longer seller friendly. eBay has been described as the epitome of corporate greed. eBay sellers have expressed their discontent on eBay communities.
eBay has canceled some user accounts for too many returns even when the item is not as the seller describes or pictures it. Then there was the debacle where eBay banned some users by mistake.
Corporations taking advantage of people and unfair trade practices ARE human rights issues. Today, the human rights' violations are caused by oligopolies (watch the video for examples).
To put this into perspective, here are the top 7 auction sites other than eBay
Now, deepgroove1's guest post:
Back in May, I was permanently removed from eBay for being an abusive buyer
I wrote a letter to eBay, what a joke
I first signed up on eBay in November 1998
eBay id, deepgroove1
Over the years I have sold millions of dollars in product, to schools, manufactures etc
In total I have accumulated maybe 10 negatives; I probably had a total of 10-12 returns over all those years
So, after receiving a few supposed eBay warnings, that looked like the usual spoof emails that I get on a regular basis
Abusive buyer, kind of sounds B-D-S-M
Sadly, eBay threw me out, LIKE I DIDN’T EVEN MATTER for less than 10 items with a total value of less than a $700
The items that I returned were 3 different cell phones that wouldn’t work with my carrier
All the phones had preinstalled software for different carriers which wasn’t disclosed and were not unlocked as described
I returned a pair blue tooth headphones that wouldn’t pair with my laptop and my music server in one channel, several clothing items that didn’t fit, it’s my fault their measurements are off?
So after I was removed, I looked at the language for abusive buyer, it is kind of broad, subjective and no mention of combining account returns, dollar amount, how many returns etc
If I get a response to this it, will probably be some broad apology
Apologies are great when you accidentally eat someone’s Halloween Candy
