[meteorite-list] Notice to eBay Meteorite Sellers

[Raremeteorites]

Yes, eBay is making it very difficult for sellers with too many new rules 
and regulations.  I was so flustered one time because of all the eBay 
software changes that I accidentally refunded somebody $500.00 before the 
item was even sent back.  Needless to say, I never received the item so I 
lost $500.00.  Even though the "buyer" made an offer which I accepted, he 
claimed his reason for returning the item was that I was asking too much.  I 
think a lot of "buyers" of large ticket items are drinking and bidding since 
many requests come in to cancel transactions a few days afterwards.  EBay 
needs to do a better job of vetting out bidders with poor business 
etiquette.   Too many flakes!

It is becoming like the new U.S. government, too many rules and regulations! 
Expect to see a major increase in internet rates now that the U.S. 
government wants to control it like every other aspect of our lives.  EBay 
is no different!
