Default ---- Ebay and Paypal

I received the following email from Paypal/Ebay after I posted in the forums about how much Paypal sucks and added a link to www.paypalsucks.com

Hello smallpimpn,

Recently we became aware that your eBay registered account was involved in the
following activity:

In the title of a threaded discussion: Posting user ID's in a derogatory
manner, posting URLs, auction numbers, or web sites, or violating any other
board posting policy.

which is not permitted at eBay.

We realize that you may not have been aware there was a rule against this
activity. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to invite you to
review our site policies, which can be found at:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-board.html

Please understand our goal is to help you understand our policies to ensure
successful experiences at eBay. Therefore, we respectfully request that you
refrain from this activity in the future to avoid the possibility of a
suspension of your eBay registration.

Thank you for your cooperation in this important matter.

Regards,
Deann
eBay Moderation Team


I am so sick of Ebay and Paypal. I sent Ebay one of those fake Paypal emails and they sent me an email back saying they don't handle that sort of thing. Can't they forward it to the correct department since they own Paypal? How stupid. I hope this scammer hacker destroys Paypal and ends Ebay. Hopefully someone will start a new one with better policies and better customer service. Maybe then they will have some sort of buyer/seller protection. I'm thinking about going psyco and letting loose in the Ebay/Paypal forums. I'll rip those bastards a new hole. Ban me from Ebay you bitches. I have other accounts to ---- you with.

My respose back to them:

So what you are telling me is that I am not allowed to inform the users of
Paypal/Ebay of the shady activity that has been going on? Is that correct?
Have you ever stopped for a minute and taken a step back and realized that
this company that you work for is the biggest scam in the industry today?
These policies that you strictly enforce are ridiculous and unwarranted. Do
you ever think about why www.paypalsucks.com was started? There is a valid reason weather you want to hear it or not. People have no security when they send money with paypal and Ebay could care less about it. The customer service is far from good and the automated reply is a joke. I can't believe the lack of intelligence your company is suffering from. I suppose there are enough sheep in the world to keep your lame company running for a while, but it will end. I no longer care to be a member of Ebay or Paypal. The actions that I have witnessed are unacceptable and I refuse to be a part of that. I hope you sleep well at night knowing that you are a part of such a shady company that allows scammers to scam innocent people without any sort of protection.

Same here...I've never had a problem with ebay/paypal. It's all about picking good sellers (who have hosted hundreds if not thousands of auctions and have a postive feedback rating of 97+%) and being smart with your money.

I ordered my rims through ebay but I was not about to send the money through paypal. I called up the vendor and used my debit card for the exchange.

Go to www.paypalsucks.com

Just because you have never had a problem doesn't mean you won't. Just wait until you do have a problem.

The thing that sucks about it is if you are trying to start a small business like in my case, you just can't not use these shitwads. For every oil line I sell, paypal and ebay combined make $7. For what? The final value fee is a fucken joke. Why should they make money based on the amount you sell for? Don't they just host the item, whether it be $1 or $1000?
If I had to give up the little extra income I make to see these bastards in the unemployment line, I would. I hate monopolies and I will always support the little man before any big corporation, but life is a risk, and I gotta do what I gotta do. If ebay/paypal fall, I'll be at the party!
