eBay chasing away the buyers, too
 

eBay chasing away the buyers, too

Well so there was something I tried to buy and it wasn't available except by some sellers on eBay. Well I'd moved since the last time I made an eBay account with my real information, nothing linked. So I make a new account on a good IP range with my real info, and then I try to bid and buy and eBay won't let me, demanded a credit card. So I had to take an old posting account and use it to buy and I saw it could bid and buy, so I changed its information over to my real info.

The thing is I've made accounts that had ⊗⊗⊗⊗ information for months and months on different ranges and they worked fine to bid and buy when those accounts were not there for actual purchasing, but as soon as I make an account with my real info (on a different range, too) with actual intent to buy something, eBay won't let me. This and eBay's Orwellian level of stalking is why I do all I can to avoid shopping on eBay.

Yes I agree ebay sucks either way on rather you buy or sell on a account. Thats why if they continue the way they are it will be no future for ebay because ebay is running off all of their buyers and canceling all of the good sellers. The majority of things on ebay from most sellers are things we cant find in the local stores or at all.
