Looks like a few nice toys, but 18% buyers fee? And epay won't let you add on for paypal fees.

Maybe I'll have to call myself an auction house. :thumbsup:

So they want an additional 18% (which is about 1/5) on top of the highest bid? And I'm sure there's shipping costs, too.

A shame the vibe pickup was hacked, that would've gotten more interest.

Vibe truck looks more like it was stepped on and bent at the windscreen.

Too much hassle for just an auction. More will come down the road, eh?

Soooooooo..


What is the difference between a "live auction" and a regular



Never mind... It is an auction that Ebay "hosts" but accepts no responsibility for.. As follows... Th bold is something I added...

***************

3. eBay is Only a Venue. 3.1. Services. We are not an auction house and are not conducting the live auctions. Our service allows you to participate in live auctions conducted by the AHs. We are solely a passive conduit to facilitate communication between you and the AH. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to change some or all of our services at any time.

3.2. Control. We have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of AHs to sell or the ability of buyers to buy items. We do not ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.

3.3. Release. Because we are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and AHs, in the event that you have a dispute with an AH, you release eBay (and our officers, directors, agents, parent, subsidiaries, joint ventures, and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code § 1542, which says: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

ebay was bad at first, tried to get better, but in the face of greed got worse, and now just charges more for being even worse than before.

And this is from a guy that has made many many thousands on ebay...legitimately.


I have a theory on the fate of ebay, but due to Big Brother and the spirit of homeland security I hessitate to even post it.
