O/T - Selling on Ebay

Oh, BTW, ebays feedback system is bull. There is no mediation. People leave negative feedbacks without even trying to resolve anything. You cant limit bidders unless they have lower then -2 feedback. I keep getting people with 0 feedback win my auctions and they never pay and I cant leave them neg feedback cause I'll get the same, so I'm stuck with listing fees. My god, ebay is bullcrap... just bullcrap...

But like mentioned before, NEVER respond to ANY email claiming to be from ebay, paypal, etc. that you didn"t initiate. Instead go directly to their website(type in the www.whatever- into your address bar) and log on there to your personal account with them. If there actually IS a "problem with your account" or even if they've actually sent you an email, it'll show up there.

For what it"s worth, when I get those suspicious emails from paypal or ebay or wherever, I hold my cursor over the links included in the email and it shows at the bottom of the screen what the link is that they are gonna try to send you to. It"s NEVER been the real web address for ebay or paypal. Usually those names aren"t in the address shown at all.

1. open up a seperate checking account
2. then get a debit card for that account. 3. set the limit on the debit card; say the majority of your purchases are $100 or less then set the limit at $100. so any time a purchase is over $100 no transaction can take place.
4. if you do have a purchase over $100 let your bank know so they can raise the cap but have them return it back to $100.

i believe that 4 times in the last 3 years that this method has worked to my advantage.
sincerely,
