Trading Natural Gas Ebook
Raped and Pillaged by Computers, The Saga of an Ebay Victim
Before you buy or sell there are things you should know
On April 11 of this year I was shopping for bed linens on the internet. I was directed to Ebay and found some sheets that seemed to be wonderful items at reasonable prices. One of them I liked was described as “Court of Versailles Queen Fitted Sage Sheets”. My bedroom is done in sage colors. Nothing could have seemed more perfect. The picture of the sheets was quite effective – they were just what I wanted. I couldn’t find out what the thread count was from the seller, as they weren’t quite sure, but I wanted them anyway.
The seller was Ty Trading Company and the price was a measly $23.21. The shipping charge was a whopping $13.46. Well, a total of $36.67 didn’t seem like too much to pay. I would have spent at least $10.00 on gas going to Macy’s or Bed Bath & Beyond. I bid on the sheet and I won.
In case you don’t know how Ebay works, you have the option to either bid on an item or “Buy it Now”, depending on how it’s listed. This was a bid only item. I was so excited to have actually been the highest bidder in an Ebay auction. I paid for the sheet with my PayPal account.
Something strange happened. A few hours later I received an email from Ty Trading Company. It said that they could not honor my bid because I didn’t have a PayPal account. Well, of course I had a PayPal account – I had just used it to pay for this item.
I called Ty Trading Company and was told that they were sorry, but I was out of luck. I surmised that they, perhaps had gotten a higher bid at the last moment and had disregarded mine…..of course I’ll never know. They refunded my PayPal account and I forgot all about it.
Meanwhile, later on in the month I wrote an eBook about how to cure acid reflux by natural means. I had been a victim of this condition for years. I had been taking prescription drugs, namely Nexium, and after a while the drugs didn’t work anymore. I desperately looked for an alternative cure. After much research and experimentation, I did heal myself of this wretched condition and decided to share it with others like myself.
I listed my eBook on Ebay. I was amazed – the eBook started selling at a brisk pace. Everything was going along fine, until I finally gave in to Ebays constant nagging to rate all the buyers and seller that I had dealt with. It was a rainy Saturday morning and I thought I would finally get this much requested chore out of the way.
I gave rave reviews to everyone, with the exception of Ty Trading Company. After all, what they had done to me was not very nice. I couldn’t be honest and give them rave reviews, could I? I simply said that they had not honored my winning bid and had charged me anyway.
Later in the day, I received an email from Ebay notifying me that I had been accused of non payment of an item, Guess who made that accusation? Of course, you guessed right – it was Ty Trading Company. They were getting even with me. The Ebay message said that I had seven days in which to respond to and dispute their accusation. Boy, those seven days went by in the flash of an eye. Less than an hour later Ebay had awarded me a “Strike”. A strike is the worst thing that can happen to anyone using Ebay. It can ruin your rating in a heartbeat. Mine went down from 100% to 91% almost instantly.
Ebay certainly did not review my requested response to these charges. I had irrevocable proof of the payment and the refund concerning that item listed by Ty Trading Company. I had emailed that proof to Ebay when I first responded to the false accusation. I was right in front of my computer when that Ebay notification came through. I was writing a news release about saving the American Bald Eagle on the Upper Delaware River from the NYRI power lines. I had not left my keyboard all day. Obviously, their system is loaded in favor of their top sellers.
You see, each buyer and seller on Ebay has a rating at the top of their listing to sell or next to their name when they buy. It is Ebay’s policy that negative ratings are never removed from anyone’s profile. I suppose that this is done to warn potential buyers and sellers of the bad guys; however it does not allow for mistakes or erroneous remarks. It certainly does not allow for lies, due to vindictive behavior. It is not a good system. I will think twice about ever buying anything on Ebay again.
When you have a rating less than 100%, some prospective buyers will shy away.
The big company called Ty Trading obviously didn’t like a little guy like me bringing down their rating, even just a little, so they got even. Ebay allowed them to do so.
I suspect that my eBook sales will diminish considerably because of this. I have sent a letter of protest to Ebay’s dispute center in Utah. I doubt that a company which you can’t even get on the phone will do any thing to correct this situation.
So watch yourself when buying or selling on the world’s largest auction machine. You could get stung and your hopes for success dashed by an insensitive website with dishonest merchants.
