eBay My World: 62mav( 162)

As a disabled veteran (retired)of two wars, I tried passing some time building and selling PCs at a loss for people, often living in shelters, who were trying to take on-line classes etc. and make something of themselves.Certain sellers ruined this.

Usually I buy computer components, and around the holidays, gifts for relatives etc. Due to a few bad sellers selling junk, and a psycho making crazy rants, I quit.

Retired Military. DAV and A.L. member. Degrees in History,Psychology.

Pay Pal ONLY. I always pay within twelve hours of end of auction,often I watch the auction end and pay immediately.

I like tracking numbers.

I don't want your junk motherboards.If they don't work, don't sell them people! I won't bother returning a bad part if shipping costs are equal or greater than the cost of the board. Bad sellers already figured this out.

After dealing with a psycho seller recently, no contact outside eBay is allowed. I am taking a hiatus from eBay and probably won't be back.

eBay needs to be federally regulated for real. Sellers need to leave a large deposit prior to selling. Having more than one account over a certain time period should be illegal (to prevent a network of shill bidding). Criminal and psychiatric background checks need to be run on all sellers prior to selling on eBay. Server/page errors need to be identified quickly and the auction on that item frozen, then re-listed. Also, only N.I.B. motherboards and processors should be allowed sold. Computers should only be allowed sold if they have the C.O.A. and the matching installation disk with them. Operating systems should only be allowed sold in sealed plastic container from Microsoft. It is too easy for a seller to sell sealed operating system with the C.O.A. and activation code visible and already activated using another disk (only one person I purchased an O.S. from even followed Microsoft selling policy). I believe eBay should only allow sellers from confirmed proven STORES.

Some morons think it is cool to write garbage about people after they get busted ripping them off. Why scammers are allowed to even have their say on eBay makes no sense, but eBay loses good buyers like me partly because of it. eBay needs better management personnel, maybe a little more mature, maybe a lot more tech savvy. Whoever the kid on eBay staff was that allowed mrcamper_99 to slander me needs a BCD from eBay (That doesn't stand for Big Chicken Dinner either).
