i am raging right now - beyond words and into sputtering!
as i mentioned somewhere around here, my horse has serious problems right now. life-threatening problems. he went dead lame a week ago and was diagosed with laminitis, cushings and insulin resistance. so. i'm putting things on ebay to start covering what will be expensive vet bills. very expensive vet bills. NEVER AGAIN WILL I SELL ON EBAY!!! i am SOOOOOOO angry right now i could spit nails!
i've sold ebay before - i have paypal (owned by ebay) on etsy. never had a problem.. until now when i've joined the ranks of ALL ebay sellers! they've changed their payment process and it is a scam and possibly illegal - but until someone files a legal complaint, they are getting away with it! oh. wait. there HAS been a class action lawsuit - here is that information... i imagine this is just the first until they change their policy.
what are they doing? simple. ebay no longer releases funds on items purchased and paid for until 21 days or more. not even the shipping costs!
come below the squiggle and be forwarned that you do NOT want to sell through ebay unless you like loaning them interest free money - and, as i said, it ain't just me. cnn and fortune watch have also covered this with the comment that this may be their "netflix" moment.
join me for a outrageous rant below...
