Interesting comment Wayne. Somehow, Ebay ended my listings three days early. I woke up Sunday morning to chaos. Two of my items were won for far below the selling price. As you know, the reall bidding doesn't get going until the last few hours. Several people told me that someone hacked my listings but Ebay security would not listen. They said that either me or my wife ended the auctions. Why would I do that? I had lots of interest and many people watching! After a day of hell, they finally reversed the actions and refunded my money.

You are right about the faceless corporation. I had to chat online with them three times before they finally took action. I fairness to them though, the service was not that bad. The online chat worked quite well and they did call me at one point to discuss the issue. The problem was that the first attendant I spoke to would not cooperate. If she had the problem would have been solved early.

I plan to list two of the three items the first week of January.

Cheers and have a great holiday.

Doug
