eBay's nazi policing policy
How fucking ridiculous is it that any old fool in China/Nigeria etc can flog utter rubbish not built to Uk standards and flaunt the rules about postage etc and keep their ebay accounts not only active but thriving.

Yet when I try to make up some extra money to pay the electric bill at home by flogging some things we no longer need at home ebay's nazi policing will ban/remove the auctions for increasingly unfair reasons?

Example: I list something that I realise has a decent value but I'm not sure. So I put a buy it now price that I suspect might be too high but state in the auction "or nearest offer" with the intention of giving a seller discount through the system. Removed: "fee avoidance"

I listed my baby daughters adidas trainers. Really tiny baby ones which she wore like twice. So I describe "As new". Removed: "Missdescribing" (apparantly I'm attempting to claim they are new?).
I relisted with the changes made, Removed again "counterfeit merchandise"???? They're genuine!?!?

Listed some diet milkshakes the other half wasn't going to use. Normal stuff from a health food shop. Removed: "Drugs & paraphanalia".

Listed a pack of Terry nappies (bought from ebay in the first place). Removed: "Banned items, used underwear"???? Not like their crotchless panties is it?

Listed my car on there and provided a link to a webpage with further pictures and details.
Removed: "External links not allowed".
Relisted with my phone number so people could phone and get details of it. Removed: "fee avoidance"????
Relisted, someone asked a question about my asking price. I answered it and posted the answer on the page. Removed again: "fee avoidance".

etc etc etc

Basically they're a bunch of cunts who want to make life difficult for normal people selling off miscellaneous stuff and seem to want just the Chinese mass selling electronic shit.

Also, don't even get me started on their (lack of) customer service. The most amusing thing about which is after they fail to help you or are obviously too lazy to actually read your email then they send a "satisfaction survey" to assess how well they've done!?!?

*Clicks*

I've lost count of the number of times this has happened to me. I actually thought I was being singled out for a time.
