eBay's postage fee... here we go again!

[backlogs]

Hello to everybody who might happen to read this.

I only use this account to browse on ebay to get an idea of prices for items I list elsewhere.

I'll never sell or buy on ebay ever again due to their illegal postage fee.

I know this has been covered so many times and I know there's been so much information and links to the relevant websites, but the following information and link to the ACCC website proves in a nutshell (as far as I'm concerned) that what they do from profiting from a service they don't provide is illegal as much as ACCC or any organisation does nothing about - so it's up to the individual to take a stance against them just like I have, but instead of rambling on about what I'm doing on behalf of all Australian ebay users and to make ebay pay back every cent they've stolen... here's the information and link to the ACCC website:

The Australian consumer law prohibits businesses from misleading consumers (ie: their illegal postage fee should be displayed next to the postage cost just as GST has to be displayed).  It also prohibits them from accepting payment (for products and/or services) if they do not intend to supply (those same products and/or services).

http://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/sales-delivery/non-delivery-of-products-services

I'll leave that with yourselves and whether you take a stance against them too is totally up to yourselves.  Everyone knows (or should know) that this place if "rife" with unfair business practices and policies, but when they conduct in illegal activities and decide to steal money from the very people who make them money then that's my justification for my own stance against them.

Cheers!

Did I say it was ruining my business? I said the postage fees is not justifiable, Get it? Two totally different things. Understand?

Since I can't see (or bother to trawl through the thread) that anyone else has mentioned it, this is how ebay got it through ACCC

They struck a deal with APost to give sellers a discount on postage labels.

So it's legit.    No case there for MB &Co to run with

They forgot the part where people are allowed to choose other couriers and the postage doesn't cover all the services needed.

I thought my last electricity bill was not justifiable, but then again i did use my electricity providers service, so i paid the bill.

Another thing was i entered an agreement with the provider so if i did not pay certain things happend... But i paid the bill and continue to use there service...

I guess what im getting at (and to make a long story short) is can i start a law suite against my provider??
