I jumped the gun with this scammer buyer

At first I thought this buyer was a nitpicky guy. They bought an item from me and messaged me with a photo saying that it is defective. I didn't want to deal with the potential trouble because I didn't agree that the item was defective according to t...

I MA NOT BUYING BECAUSE OF SLOW SALES/GTC

There are eyes on your item! Go for the Sale

EBay’s policy on Fixed Price listings

Does anyone feel unhappy about this new policy and if your listing doesn’t sell it rolls over to another 30 days, and usually at a fee. I quit listing on eBay due to this, as I want to be able to control my fees. What do you think? Is eBay going to r...
