I am done with eBay

I cannot take eBay anymore. I spent a day uploading photos, tallying card condition, tinkering with fonts, all that bull crap you do when you are putting up a big auction. Literally 25 photos, perfectly placed, etc.
Each time I added a section, hit "save for later". Then would go back, and add more. Finally finished the the work of perfection at 4pm.
Come back at 9pm to launch it, the damn thing is gone. Nowhere to be found. I already tried to write a post with some harsher language but PSA blocked it. So here is the clean version. Sorry but I had to vent!
Anyway, if anyone else wants to to join a b***h fest about eBay screwing you over I am more than game!

You spent 3 months on the eBay forums saying you were done with eBay but yet continued to list auctions.

Yeah, those were tough. I remember starting those at 10:00PM the night before they were due for an 8:00AM class. And that's back in the day when we had to use an actual typewriter and WiteOut.

I have a suspicion that your term papers included a lot of coloring with crayons and gluing macaroni to construction paper. I hope they ended up on the fridge, but the probably didn't because elephants aren't orange you idiot.

I can only assume that you have your masters in stupidity.

Please show us one meaningful thread, reply or random thought that you have posted.

Yeah, I keep watching it OVER and OVER and OVER and ....
Oh well, I can't remember if I shared with the community my theory that "Bill-o-Clown" is actually the one and only Bill-O-Reilly!
If this thread is still alive and kicking tomorrow I will elaborate on my theory. But here's a few similarities: lying, bullying, divisive, hot-headed, spiteful, preachy, obnoxious, hypocritical, bombastic, ignorant...Sorry couldn't help myself. Still a lot more to add though

Don't blame Ebay for your inabliity to manage your time correctly.
Of course, if they didn't charge you for setting a listing time, I would've listed it as soon as I was finished, but that is not the case.
<< <i>Me thinks you are wrong. Me thinks I finished the auction at 4pm. Me thinks I wanted to list at the peak time of 9pm. Me thinks I did not want to pay extra for scheduling a time.
Unless it has changed, it is $.10 for scheduling right?
Ebay is not a multi-gazillion $ company. 2008 they only made $2,881,995,000 from operating activities. After stock purchases, and upgrades they LOST $1,032,263,000.
You might want to do your research before posting lies.

To boot, eBay has also slapped me around on some other issues so that may have contributed to my perhaps over-the-top reaction to what happened to my auction last night.
Due to bills I have less than $1000. And my hours at work are about to get cut.
The federal deficit isn't even a gazillion.

You probably felt like that guy who hired you after you decided not to get out of bed for no apparent reason.
You can also create a listing and schedule it to start next week. You can work on the listing all day long to get it just right. Then at 9:00 tonight you can manually start the listing and you won't be charged the 10 cent scheduling fee.

I love Allen Iverson as a pure 1-1 player, especially that move on Jordan, but he absolutely killed the Pistons this year. Probably one of the worse trades in history seeing what Billups has done and how terrible/selfish Iverson turned out to be in D-Town.
After a day or a week or a month or even a year of pondering the above , you may actually begin to wonder who fell off first , and turn it into a new joke .
What came first , the chicken or the egg ?
I've seen some of your posts and realize this type of thinking on your part has already developed into a habit and a fundamental character flaw . With the support of quite a few like minded thinkers , you always try to believe that there are others to blame for all the wonderful results you have experienced .
I've heard it said , "That as a child you think like a child , as an adult you should try to think like an adult . "
As stated in an earlier post , "Good luck with your glorious future. "

P.S. I said from the beginning, and I meant it, you attack me and I will strike back unlike so many of the other newcomers to this board
