Explain your request for receipts for all items listed and sold during last 60 days.Been on eBay for 27 years without a single chargeback in all that time.As 99% of items come from estate auctions, often with multiple consigners, such receipt are not going to tell you anything.A auctioneer's small clerk ticket with my bidder number a description of "books" and a price of $5.00 could mean one box of books, multiple boxes of books, piles of books in boxes, or in one case an entire hay flat (wagon) full of books sold as one lot.A clerk ticket with a description of "contents of table" or "rest of table" means the bidder bought the entire contents of a six foot banquet table, possible with additional boxes and items below the table.A ticket with "west wall of building" means the bidder bought every single item on the west interior wall of a out building on a farm sale.Your receipts from a typical auction will consist of your clerk tickets and your bidding number. The bidding number will typically auctioneer's name and sometimes additional contact information depending on how much they want to spend on such consumables. My name is not going to be listed on these materials.Even auctioneer with computerized clerking is only going to prove a generic list of lots.There are no itemized lists of individual items. No break down of prices per piece and other complete and utter nonsense you are requesting.Many items get put in storage for years and sold later due to the volume of items purchased.Receipts from stores like the Salvation Army or Goodwill do not list specific items. At most they might list a department code or generic description such as "housewares", but that is meaningless as items are mixed together throughout the store. The Goodwill receipt for a toy I sold for $135 shows "$3.00" on the credit card receipt without any description at all.How much I pay, from whom I buy, where I buy and when I buy are 100% none of your business and are my trade secrets.Where do you get off calling me a thief?!
