Ebay really are a bunch of w##kers

[nanotm]

smarties eBay's policy is zero e-cigs /shisha gear and paypal policy is similarly zero protection for e-cig/e-juice sales /purchases

so you really do buy at your own risk with either of them, I use paypal for some things because I have no other option but I would prefer amazon payments since you get the same protection on a much broader range of gear and 100% refund policy on stuff not received /

Just did a quick search on ebay and got a couple of pages of listings for dna200, all from the same seller! Strange.

Not for much longer

Don't get mad ( it's a waste of energy ) . . . . get even - far more satisfying @windows.

I noticed this morning that some of the iSub coils I've been buying on Ebay ( in my purchase history ) from registered Business/Vaping specific Sellers have been pulled.

Either Innokin themselves I guess have reported the listings - which I find unlikely as they're available from others.

It really is a bit of a joke.
There's one seller on there that has at least a dozen listings for the vt200 but they dont seem to notice that, just my two.
Well i know what im going to be doing when im bored. Get ready for a lot of reporting ebay

A man after my own heart @windows, sometimes you just have to fight fire with fire.

lets be honest you can report everything other than things like the VVTF rba's for the nauti since there not available anywhere else and most people probably wont even care, a good chunck of stuff sold on fleabay is on there because its lethal if used as directed and nobody wants to be tied to the dangers caused, or the vendors are overseas registered and don't care so long as they make cash ....

Been there, done that. There is no logic to it. In a fit of temper after a ban I reported loads including eliquid with a choice of nic levels. Still a very active item It doesn`t pay to have the cheapest price on Ebay, that`s almost guaranteed to get your listing removed.

[yourgurnard]

I'd bore You all wiv the story of why I can't use Flea-Bay anymore (& it's un-related to vaping...) but just want to concur whole-heartedly wiv the title of this Thread!!!

Well simply put you were reported. Now I know its annoying, but you cant bother with days and days of reporting others. Its luck of the draw really. I have run a business on ebay since they started almost 2001, when we had dial up internet

Simply, dont relist it as your account and that listing is now flagged. A quick way is to do a new listing and change the title and list for 24 hours only. You can usually beat the reporters. They the reporter will have added your listing to a watched list and will be informed if its relisted and you will get a ban or some sanction.

As ebay now use Manilla based support teams that do not have any control but to follow the rules they are set. I have been a TRS and never lost it, but I have an account manager in Ireland, so they sort it out if someone is messing with my account.

yahoo2u2 is spot on, especially about relisting an item that ebay have taken down - you could lose your account by doing so.

This is what can be seen on Ebay if you follow vaping, Dragon E-juice have been advertising for months yet it's mods and atties that get removed. F*****g crazy

NOPE, firearms are also on the banned list.  Dont let ebay wind you up? Its an autonomous setup with very little human interaction, except YOU and one other person THEM.

Ebay play not part in any other this except as a platform for YOU and THEM to communicate and they charge a fee for doing so.

This really is a superb setup even by todays standards and allows them to say nothing to do with them no matter what is listed. So they have rules, but the whole site is managed by YOU and THEM with you both acting as ebay police.

This is a superb business model and a way of running a total online setup.

No stock
No returns
Automated emails
A few support staff in a remote part of the world
And until recently a monopoly banking system that also gets paid for you using it.

I cannot think of anything that can remotely touch ebay for its market share, and get even close and they buy you out (Gumtree), but the purchase of gumtree was to drive sellers of nicknacks etc from Ebay and leave ebay to the big players. So they introduced the DSR standards so they could demote joe public faster and promote the big boys. How? Well a negative for you with say 50 sales a year is a big dip, 50 negs with say 150,000 sales is nothing, so the big boys win again.

Then of course was the freepost brainwashing. Offer free post we will promote your listings, ok, but its not free?, we know but if you dont you wont sell it will you. TBH I could probably fill this forum with the ebay tricks and tactics they have used to move sellers away from ebay.

They have even go so far as to now hide the feedback for the big boys....
