20 retraction high bidder PWCC

[Buythatcard]

eBay does give a crap.

Here is where they don't give a crap. On more than one occasion I've had non payers. I can't leave them negative feedback but I can give them a strike (does nothing).

Here is where they do give a crap. Since leaving a strike does nothing, I leave them positive feedback in caps saying that the buyer is a Non Payer. I have received 2 warnings from eBay saying that I can't say anything negative in my feedback about the Buyer. They told me it was against their policies and they then removed the comment.

See, I told you that eBay gives a crap.

even though ebay has tried to reinvent itself as being like amazon (discouraging auctions and encouraging straight sales and seller stores), ebay falls incredibly short when it comes to customer service. the other day i had an issue with not receiving merchandise from an amazon seller and opened a claim online. within 2 hours amazon responded saying my money was being refunded. this isn't the first time amazon has responded quickly to a problem. ebay seems to want to be amazon without doing a large part of the heavy lifting.

I tried complaining to ebay but I couldn't understand a word they were saying.

I am told by a very reliable, inside source that ebay is working diligently on the bid retraction issue on the whole ebay platform. I think we will see something in the next several months. Ebay takes it's time but they know it's a problem. They are working on it.

I am not trying to defend PWCC here. There were times I reported shill bidding to them and they felt that the bids were legit (lol), but these guys are selling like 700 trillion cards every year - how are they supposed to do everything manually? Block him, cancel his bids, block another guy, etc. That would be a crazy amount of work for them. Here is the solution: eBay needs to change their software! In other words, you cannot bid more than three times in any auction.

It's not the number of bids that's the issue. eBay simply needs to start kicking users off the system that retract more than 1 bid.

What's there to work on? Why is it taking years, we have been hearing about this forever. Institute a progressive suspension program based on too many retractions. Don't allow a retraction at all until the bidder substitutes another number. Case solved.
