I sold a amplifier on Ebay last week. The buyer paid ASAP. The next day Ebay said it was against the rules to list the item and deleted the item. The buyer freaked out and thought I was trying to rip them off. I hadn't shipped the item yet so I just refunded the buyers money.
Ebay is a joke IMO. The fees are through the roof, I just noticed they started taking a fee out of the shipping price you charge a buyer. I guess if you jack your shipping prices up then it doesn't matter so much to you. I always charge what the actual shipping price is. I end up losing money on the shipping, what a joke.
I will continue to buy items from Ebay, but will sell them elsewhere.
