Sellers listings require feedback or blocked

[miss_ivymeadowsweet]

Thoughts please on Sellers listing practises as stated on all listings
Any buyer who does not complete transaction with feedback or leaves neg will be blocked from future auctions.
Is this against eBay policy ??

Yes, paypal buyer protection does not cover services where there are no physical goods to be shipped, travel tickets etc

Regardless, many reputable sellers offering accomodation offer credit card payment option - probably the safest form of payment a buyer can make with this type of purchase, as many credit cards have a range of insurances that are well over and above those that other payment processing providers such as paypal offer.

Australian consumer legislation is also in place providing a level of protection for buyers if purchasing goods or services from an Australian business.

unfortunately, it is against eBay policy to sell digitally delivered goods OR services and their line about feedback up the top whilst doing nothing to assist the buyer from the feedback angle, provides sufficient indication to eBay that this is a digitally delivered good

so just a heads up here, take your holiday very quickly.

For Starters, they in no way comply with this policy

They pass on your information and use it for purposes other than the intended sale which they cannot do, even with your consent through the opt out option rather thasn the opt in option

They do not offer a safe method of payment

and on it goes.

I'm sure their 4ooo word listing will be valued somewhere, but apparently, unless they restrict themselves to one such listing PER MONTH, it is not to be valued on eBay

eBay allows numerous services to be sold in its marketplace-- the process of redeeming a purchase for a service you have purchased is just one of the conditions of the sales contract - and allowable. 

My suggestion is that you google search information to assist you to understand what digitally delivered goods actually are

That way it avoids doing a disservice to those selling services on ebay by posting misleading information.

I didn't google search, I rang Customer Support whilst they communicated with Trust and Safety aboiut each of the questions that i raised.

So, did ebay say it was allowed? If so, why can't I sell my patterns as digital items?

I am offering a service. That is a service of instruction.

It is a fine line. 

[thecatspjs]

Can't see the fine line line myself ?? Seems pretty clear cut IMO

Selling a night(s) of accommodation (which is the actual service purchased) with a booking confirmation / redemption requirement (sent digitally) is very different to me than selling a digitally delivered pattern ( which is the only goods and service purchased).

Unless of course the accommodation was being provided via virtual reality link 🙂

nope.

eBay says.

No fine line, it;s quite distinct.

Listen to what Trust and Safety and eBay say or listen to google when contemplating the kinds of things and how ebay classifies them on their site.

it's a toughie
