No.

I neither pretend to know everything, nor feel myself to be an unintelligent unteachable fool. I think my focus is where it needs to be.

Is it your best work trolling the forums for peoples "Slights" now,

No. As I don't think I troll the forums (what a bizarre suggestion), that isn't an an on-point comment.

It's also not remotely to do with things that I consider to be my "best work" - and in any event, I hope that my best work is still to come.

Then you must be along the lines of the other end of the scale, ie. someone intently interested (AKA obsessed) with knowing and telling everything.

 You consistently conflate posting helpfully and regularly with obsession. That isn't logical, nor is it correct. It is only by sharing experiences on how to survive eBay and use its good points, while somehow managing to mitigate the problems of its bad points, that worthwhile knowledge for buyers and sellers on this platform can be established. There's simply no point in crying "Woe, woe" in the hope or expectation that eBay will fix a lot of things. eBay doesn't want our suggestions or feedback on how its platform could be improved. Don't believe me? Let's have it from the horse's mouth:

❝At eBay, we appreciate comments from our members on our products and services. But we have a long-standing policy of not accepting unsolicited suggestions, ideas, or proposals. [...] We appreciate your input, but we can't respond to suggestions that are sent to eBay.❞ - Unsolicited idea submissions policy.

(NOTE: "we appreciate comments" and "appreciate your input" is corporate-speak for "we don't give a frog's eyeball about what you say".)

So eBay users have the following options:

• leave eBay because there are certainly some serious issues on eBay which may be unacceptable to some users;
• stay on eBay and make many mistakes, lose money, etc.,
• stay on eBay and only risk cheap purchases / small occasional sales,
• stay on eBay but make such horrendous mistakes that one's eBay account is limited or eternally cast into the outer darkness;
• stay on eBay but regularly contact eBay with complaints and suggestions and pleadings for the IT department to fix things;
• stay on eBay but post on the Community boards in frustration (where the frustration may be shared, but no remediable action can be taken by what are, after all, simply fellow eBay users, not eBay's IT team or management);
• or stay on eBay and put together a portfolio of your own policies and navigational tools for getting the most out of eBay and avoiding the worst dangers, mitigating risks, and maximising what works.

There are some absolutely wonderful people on these forums who know almost all of the pitfalls, and who keep up with eBay's ever-changing policies, and who can and do advise on these things as a gesture of helpfulness and kindness towards fellow eBayers.

I know, I know; you want eBay to function in the way that you want it to function.

You want the invoice with credits issue sorted to your satisfaction.

But there is no way to achieve that! I'm relatively certain that no one here is a member of eBay's IT department, and I'm even more positive that no one here is a mighty hacker capable of infiltrating eBay's site bowels to set up some sort of fees and credits page that will give you what you want, how you want it.

All that anyone here can do is suggest ways to sort-of get the information that you want to have to hand.

You can certainly try contacting eBay with your suggestion/request. I don't hold out much hope of your getting anything but placebo fairy floss in return (even if the bot which reads your email understands what you mean), but you shouldn't feel deprived of at least trying.

Contacting eBay with your suggestion.
