Default Another Reason I Detest Ebay

Following the link for the biggest custard cream, on the auction website ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=110613453126

It would be incalculable for them to count how much it costs to host that auction, pence to zero for a company of that magnitude. They then state in the FAQ..

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/ebayforcharity/about.html

In addition, all eBay for Charity items will qualify for a fee credit on basic insertion and final value fees equal to the percentage donated.
I hate them, cvnts.

It has its uses. W'ar lass wanted the carrycot to go with our Mamas & Papas MPX pram system costing about £200. I ended up getting the carrycot, another chassis, another adjustable seat unit, rain-cover, another car seat and two car seat bases for £23.99 All in excellent condition and beautifully clean

Nothing wrong with Ebay if you know how to use it.

On the most part, I find it great to use.

That was before some tosspot gave me neutral feedback for no genuine reason. I'm really miffed about it.

2m HDMI cable - £1.60 including delivery. Can't go wrong!

But yeah, you do need to be careful with the place.

I think it is a very useful organisation, the advantage its is enormous coverage of course.

I dont use it very often, but have had good service in the past and have just found a rare motor 'bike which I doubt I would have got any other way.

I sold a WW2 flying helmet,oxygen mask etc for a friend for an unbelievable price to a bloke in Canada with no problems of any kind.

Lol!!!

In my defence, it was a brand new jacket. A sandstone BENCH fleece, still with tags and in the original packaging. Reason for sale, unwanted gift. (I bought it for sis in law but it was too small).
The winning bidder was in Germany, but I have always sent overseas with no problems. In fact, a lot of the branded things have gone to Germany or Sweden.
Anyway, neutral was given and the comment -

"thanks for shipping, but the package was ripped and the coat was dirty!!"

I cannot be responsible for how Royal Mail or any other postal company treat their items, but I can wrap them as good and safely as possible.
As far as I am concerned the item arriving soils was out of my hands.

I have contacted the buyer being polite, but honest about how I feel, but I know it won't make any difference.
