I sure have. Oddly enough, each one has been French Canadian (no offense to my Canadian friends, just really coincidental).

Example: Sent one guy a soda bottle (thermal detonator from Disney). Bottle was wrapped in bubble wrap, put in a box with shipping peanuts.

Clown receives package; Claims item inside is damaged, with NO damage to the outer box. What he did was dent the bottle so that the air was out of it and put the cap back on. Even eBay must've thought this guy was full of shit, as they found in my favor (or, didn't backcharge me, at least).

Time to finally launch my own website and be done with it.

12.55% to be exact.

Oh, then it's another $0.35 for a transaction fee.

But wait, there's more! Was that an international sale? Then add another 1.65% on that total.

The best part? eBay charges you that 12.55% ON TOP OF the tax that they charge the buyer...so although you're not seeing a red fucking cent of that tax money, you're sure as shit being charged against it. Dual taxation without representation is fun, innit?

This new law is going to nuke online money exchanges. It's real nice that the federal government want me to keep receipts for everything I bought in the last 40 years, just in case I sell it at a loss one day. Forget about sending money to family. You can wait for the check to arrive in the mail, because it's not anyone's damn business.

Non-paying bidder who made offers, won and then didn't pay for ten days, then sent me a bunch of laughing emojis and one flipping me off, along with a bunch of nasty messages mocking anyone who buys toys.

Kory Riccardi from Florida or when he changes his username, because don't they all?

I put some MTF figures up on eBay and it was three tries before I could find a buyer that would pay what they bid for them.

Notorious non-paying bidder, just stung me for 3 items, I shouldn't be surprised that Ebay has let him do this for so long - and he somehow bypassed my non-paying bidder filter.

Left me bad feedback because the GI Joe Club Female Cobra Trooper 3-pack he bought from me wasn't carded (just came in plastic bags haha), so it was worn out and the helmets won't stay on...
Dude tried to lowball me under a different account (carmo-8065) minutes before buying from his main account. He gives a bunch of neutral and negative feedback. I would avoid at all costs.

It's really the fucking worst. And even after all that, you have to hold your fucking breathe and hope the buyer doesn't fuck you more on TNT back end. Can't remember the last time I sold something and didn't have a buyer try to make up a fake problem. Always want a partial refund, never want to return.

Guy is the lone bidder on a 7-day auction of mine. On the 7th day, messages me and goes, "I can't afford this. Could you cancel my bid?"

Meanwhile, he's asking $350 for a Mafex Comic Spidey on eBay. LOL.

I don't usually let buyer's who don't pay get to me, but this guy really rubbed me the wrong way. He practically begged me to give him a deal on a figure and have a week to pay. I set my unpaid assist to 7 days for him, and gave him the deal. Big surprise who wants to cancel a few days later.
