Ebay FML :(

So my wife likes Crocs for work, I find the pair she wants but only on ebay so I bid, win and then pay.

A week later I get a sorry letter saying they don't have them in stock and they refund me.

A week later I am still looking for these fucking things and I get a non-payment reminder from there douchefucks that I am going to get a warning if I don't pay even though they canceled and already refunded me.

I email them to be like WTF going on mate? and I see they have the same fucking shoes same size listed still for sale and ask if they can send me a pair with no reply for another week I gave up.

I just left some shitty feedback (I hardly ever do) am I correct in now the way ebay is setup they are not going to be able come back and assfuck me for it like others have been able to in the past?

Nope I don't think so not anymore at least


"Online auction site eBay has said it plans to overhaul its feedback system and will ban sellers from leaving negative comments about buyers.
EBay said problems were occurring, and slowing down trade, when buyers left negative comments about sellers who then retaliated with their own views.
From May, those selling on eBay will not be able to leave unfavourable or neutral messages about buyers.
The move, which will affect users worldwide, has angered many sellers.
Sellers say it will leave them unprotected.
Tricky customers
Critics of the changes argue that by taking away a seller's right to complain about a problem buyer they will have very little recourse for action when a sale goes wrong.
And they complain that by still allowing buyers to leave dissenting comments about sellers, eBay has skewed the whole trading process.

When both sides have equal access and rights to leave negative comments about each other it is a well balanced trading process, they say. However, eBay counters that problem buyers can still be dealt with.
"If a buyer doesn't pay, the seller can easily contact eBay, we will review any complaint and maybe remove the buyer," a spokesman said.
The changes aim to "improve the overall customer experience", eBay said.
It added that many buyers would not leave negative comments for fear that sellers would retaliate.
As a result, buyers and sellers may not get a fair picture of what is actually happening between trading parties.

ebay and paypal are pissing me off lately. i sold a bunch of books on ebay a few months ago. ive never had one neg feedback, never a problem but paypal held my funds for like 3 weeks until it was confirmed that the buyer got the books and gave me positive feedback. i really needed cash at the time and it really pissed me off.
