Farewell & adieu. Well folks, after 16 years I am throwing my hat in the ring. I am finished, kaput, resigning from the whole kit & kaboodle as a seller, no, make that a member of eBay. Scenario: I posted an item to a buyer on 13th March 2017 provided the tracking number etc etc to her & during April discover that she has not received what she paid for. A postmaster advised the buyer that parcel was probably lost in the flood. During that time we experienced cyclone Debbie - Australia Post was advised, a claim for missing parcel was lodged by the buyer. After case was closed guess who the little black duck was, who had her eBay account docked to refund the buyer. Today I received three emails from eBay quote "We didn't receive valid proof of delivery from you. Sellers must provide tracking info showing the item was delivered". Don't that beat all? How, could I provide proof of delivery??? Well, it could have been but neither of us have been contacted by the mighty AP. Have just had a fiery conversation??? with three "people" from eBay who will no doubt need hearing aids very soon. So sad.
I would like to thank those of you who have assisted me in various ways over the years. Currently, I am "ending" all my listings.
Good luck
Forever a stalwart mrsmarple61

It breaks your heart, Mrs Marple, doesn't it?
I've had a similar experience with an insurance co. trying to get my (miniscule) amount of money out of them. Been put through the hoops, not good enough, more hoops to go through. It's hardly worth it, but I'm still doin' it.
Stick around and talk to us,hey.

There's life after selling.
Or places other than ebay you can sell.
Just because you're pulling all your listings here though doesn't mean you need to leave the boards. Quite the opposite.
Message boards cost money to run. Quite a bit actually, if they're big enough. And guess who's picking up the tab for these ones?
That's right-ebay.
Now doesn't that warm the cockles of your heart?
At least stick around long enough to get some of your money's worth back from them.
