    stupid ish that they won't let you use buy it now with less than xx reputation is annoying me to death at the moment. unless I want to pay their $20 or something rediculous to override the rules basically.

    eh I stopped doing business on Ebay a long time ago due to some serious stealing they did from me and well I'm a nice person and asked for just what they took back but my lawyer said that I could've taken a good chunk of money for what they did in top of what they stole.... I dk but to this point I regret it lol, damn I hate being so damn nice sometimes lol

    They just want to make sure yuo're reputable before using the buy it now option in your auctions. I'm sure they had some issues with people trying to run scams that they had to do that. I never had any issues because I made a lot of purchases on eBay and had people leave feedback before I started selling on there.

    Anyways, people are willing to pay more if you have a higher feedback.

    I have never had any problems until the last two items that I have bought. One turned out to not be what the seller was selling, and paypal refused to refund me anything. Had a good rep and everything, but hte guy turned out to be an ass after the auction closed.
    The other was a sub that was damaged in shipping. I have been waiting months for the insurance back on this, and I have a feeling that the guy didnt even file the papers for it (good rep again, just poor communication).
