I agree David, but my eBay experience while long*, is small (actually micro) compared with the junk dealers and overseas merchants. eBay doesn't even supply my packing tape or materials like the big boys get. As long as eBay wants to be AMAZON etc. that'll never change. They do crack down on person-to-person solicitation, but probably don't have time to put an actual person on the case. * In the beginning, eBay was all text. If you wanted a picture, you had to host it somewhere and provide a text link to it. Pictures were forbidden on eBay, and we had dial up modems, 28k! It took me all day to download the Gamma Ray Spectrum Catalog from Idaho National Lab! It was the largest file (12MB) I ever successfully downloaded, and it took several attempts because I would get bumped off of internet and have to start over. As my old friend, Iben Trudaropes says, "Grin and Bear it!"

I buy a lot of parts for repairs for tools from eBay and lately they seem to be slipping on basic listing enforcment. People are adding their phone numbers and saying "don't pay here" or "local pickup only." This isn't OfferUp, it's eBay. Plus as you all noted in other posts, battery capacities are just plain fake sometimes and there are EMF devices listed as "geiger counters". This is an example of that: |
