hello everybody
just wanted to say, that eBay has a pretty shoddy insurance policy. In their 'what makes eBay safe' info, they state that they offer insurance in case seller does not send the merchandise. The downside? It only pays you up to 200 dollars, - the 25 dollar processing fee. I believe this is pure S*&T! I recently bought an expensive item (a computer from the infamous aliendistribution ) and am having a hard time with eBay's wacky insurance. On top of not considering refunding me all my money, they do not want to help us get aliendistribution and eBay is ultra stingy in its insurance!!! They think that when they NARU a fraudulent seller, then all is well. Apparently not. eBay is a noncaring huge corporation that doesnt giev a rat's A$$ about its bidders or sellers for that matter. I pray for the day that I can find a RELIABLE and SAFE auctioning page. Until then, no more auctions for me.

p.s the SAFEST auction place i know of is webswap.com, they handle everything (they act as a third party, hence you send them the merchandise, buyer sends them the $ and they in turn send the goods to you) but it costs a little more i think. oh well, screw auctions for now!!!!!!
