I did not mean to insinuate, I meant to state it loud and clear. You
obviously know nothing about the subject of eBay, thus you are
ignorant, at least on that subject.
On a thousand dollar sale, the seller would incur roughly $41 in
fees, more if he used special features or more than one photo. Of
course, people like you think that the auction listings just pop up
already finished and ready to go, so I won't even get into wasted
time and effort. To relist it, you get to pay it all again, so it is
$82 stolen. Of course, you can wait weeks and file all the reports
and eventually get your money back (sometimes) but that is yet more
wasted time doing what you should never have had to do in the first
place.
So is it fair to ask a seller to take that loss because you were too
lazy to take the time (with at least 5 days to do it)of learning what
you should know before you bid. There is no excuse for not honoring a
bid as there is plenty of time to do research or even cancel a bid.
But I know I live in a whining world that has long forgotten about
personal responsibility.
