Damn, and I found something I haven't seen in a long time on eBay. Not because eBay is down, but because the Seller has the most outlandish TOS I have ever read.
And to beat it all, it is on another web site.
A WHOLE PAGE of another web site, A bunch of do this or I'll do that, send money to reach me in a certain time frame or I file, but I'll send your package on my schedule.
Whole list of "neggable" offenses.
I guess I just can't jump through that many hoops to make sure the transaction goes well.
I reported them to safeharbor for the off site stuff ( paypal fees) and was told they received a warning, but nothing changed on the present auction.
On the good side it was a good looking auction and nice pictures.
Oh well....

Even if the bad TOS were on the same page, this one soounds beyond the reach of a clue phone.

The one that got me the most was the paypal fees, which are now gone Thanks to the warning.

So eBay doesn't allow the fees to be listed separately

twelvepole,

Was this along the lines of the thread I had earlier in the week w/ebay's response to PayPal & BillPoint fees?

Did they give the seller a warning for trying to directly charge the customer for PayPal fees?
