Minor ebay rant

Why would someone think I'd want to do business with him again if he's always been entitlement-minded, did not read an auction carefully, and was generally a pain in the neck to deal with?

Oh.... I think I know...his entitlement-mindedness is what makes him think I'm worthy of his business.

theres this stupid saying "the customer is always right" that some stupid customers believe true.

Oddly enough, this guy's a business owner, so he should know better!

I mean, if you write me and immediately demand that I end an auction early and allow you to pick up the item while you're 70+ miles away fro me at a sci fi convention... you haven't started off as a reasonable person in my book.

yeah, I guess not. Could have been worse though!

Oh, that story only *begins* there.

Idiots aside, eBay's made it much more of a drag to be a seller than it used to be.

I got a negative on eBay because I did not honor a request to lie on the customs form so the guy could avoid paying import taxes. No, really.

I used to be able to restrict my auctions to a list of pre-screened bidders. I miss that feature!

Ebay clearly does not deserve your business if they're not going to make it a favourable place to do business.
