So I put some 50 records up, wait them to finish and one day after the closing 2 of the auctions just disappear without a trace, just like that. The notifications say a bidders account has been compromised. I'd believe it once but twice is too much.This happen to anyone else?

Ebay really needs to get its shit in order, this is fucked.
I have been fighting a chargeback for months from a guy who (allegedly) hacked an ebay account, used a different paypal/credit card account to pay for the merchandise, had it shipped to an unconfirmed address, and then collected the yaper when he filed the dispute with paypal.
this was my first time selling on ebay since 1993 or so, i don't think i'll be going back anytime soon.
sucks, you had major heat for sale too.
When is the eBay alternative going to arise, God? When?
IMG SRC=http://www.marketmaxgroup.com/images/pray_z3a9.jpg>
i just paid them $381 in ending fees alone. $150 starting fees on top of that.
THEY STILL CHARGE YOU EVEN THOUGH THEY TOOK THE AUCTION DOWN??!?!?!?!?
Now thats fucked.
he is a "Gold Power Seller" which means he gets to call and talk to ahuman at ebay 24/7
basically they told him....you're shit outta luck.
This shit seems to be the new craze...they better get a handle on it....ASAP.
feeling this sentiment. Ebay should only be used as a last resort and/or to get rid of stuff thats been sitting there unsold for a long period of time. Too much funny business going on... plus top dollar stuff is always prone to flop.
My last Ebay auction featured some serious douche bag deadbeat bidding by one of Soulstruts own.
Put him on blast!!!
You've got to do this for the, uh, good of the community.
You shouldn't have to pay them anything. What the hell is that?
It's not free to sell on eBay.
Right.
But if the auction doesn't even come to term, then technically eBay could just randomly cancel auctions and rake in the cash.
I owe you some money, don't I?
Right, but you quoted where he said they DIDN'T charge him
for the aborted auction, just for the ones that were completed
successfully. So it appeared you were shocked that he had to pay
fees for any of his auctions in general.
so who is the deadbeat bidder on soulstrut???
Oh. Then I misread that. I thought that they charged him the ending fees for the auctions that they shut down, as opposed for the ones that only closed successfully (it really wasn't clear to me).
Someone hacked my account, changed my password, and started selling deckchairs!!
Some yatchrock fan!
im starting to think its someone trying to sabotage my listings(items no one else is even selling)
i have been letting my auctions end in the afternoons now when im around to retract & block these people. tired of it!
After selling on Ebay for awhile now without any major problems, suddenly I've had 4 auctions go bad within 3 weeks, all for different reasons.
One incident involves a $400 record which the guy said never got there. He filed a paypal dispute. I fucked up and didn't send it registered. My only beef is that since winning the record he has been kicked off of ebay and had his paypal account suspended AND they still sided with him yesterday and took the four bills out of my account. Do they ever side with the seller? FUCK!
Another guy won a $250+ 12" off me and then sends me the discog URL for the UK re-issue a couple days later and says mine is a bootleg and he's not paying. I explain to him that lots of re-issues have the same labels and how its impossible that a re-issue from 2004 got into the collection of a guy who hadn't bought records for over 20 years and worked for the label the record was on. No reply from him. At least he didn't get the record but I would have loved to sell it for that price.
What the hell is going on?

Oh boy, this sounds familiar... you might want to ask world-famous record dealer "Aleit" about it, I think he's had some dealings with this guy. Also I believe he won an auction or two from Big City and pulled the same shit. I WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS REISSUE. What the fuck!
