specifically...
"Do to the rapid fluctuation in the price of gold.
All payments sent by mail must be "postmarked" by the following business day.
All payments using "Paypal" must be "paid" by the following business day,
If payments are not on time as described above there will be a $5.00 Late fee for every day late.
So, Please pay on time to advoid late fees
Once full payments have been made and cleared, (including any late payment fees, then your package will be mailed out ASAP!"
First of all... the price of gold has no bearing on what price you have gotten when the electronic hammer falls. The price is agreed upon at that exact moment, so assesing a 'late fee' based on the unrelated change in the price of gold is ludicrous. I can only imagine it would play a part if the transaction were not completed and the price falls, thus causing a monetary damage.
Plus, do ebay rules allow for the unilateral assesment of 'late fees' which could never be contested effectively? I can see it now...."No, really, the postmark was 2 days later--oops, sorry I threw out the envelope so you'll just have to take my word for it and send me another $10. Of course, that just tacked on another day, so add $5 more".
Seems like a crock!
What is that link again for ebay complaints??? I'd love to see what they say about this one...other than the usual nothing.

...not sure there is any validity in his rules, but they are funny. Anyone who buys from him needs an examination.... and I am not talking rectal, or is that where their head is located ?
and it's five bucks per day, late charges ?

What a fool.
Ah heck with it- I'm gonna send to fleabay...
"Regarding the late fees, I am not sure a fee structure such as this is allowed by ebay. How would this process allow a contested fee to be challenged?"
And, I agree with Ksteelheader...you only bid if you can pay...I just disagree with his method of enforcement and the uncontestable nature of it. And the fact I think it's totally against the rules. And that the reasoning behind it is completely ridiculous
