I was not alive back then either but have a fair idea of what it was like from hearsay. 

I feel Ebay treats members a bit like schoolkids were treated back then.  Like little scallywags with no mind of their own. 

 

 On one hand babying buyers, on the other hand slapping down sellers .. changing the rules desperately everytime they think it's running out of control - or based on surveys that only the complainers bother to fill in ... effectively punishing people who have done no wrong based on the few who abuse the system.

Rather than rely on hearsay you might ask a few people who were at school 50 years ago. 

I had completed my final year of high school 50 years ago and was never hit over the knuckles with a ruler and not treated like a little scallywag with no mind of my own.

But I did learn to take responsibility for my own actions and respect other people....both of which seem to be lacking in the younger ebayers.

I would hazard a guess that if a survey was done of the ages of the serial non-payers and neg givers they would be of the younger generation...same with the rotton sellers.

do people actually do those surveys?

LOLOL

I get sent one everytime I have to ring em about something

The last time I rang them about 2 weeks ago, I was having tech issues not related to the forums, and a supervisor told me I needed to contact the tech team at LIVE WORLD!

This was 2 weeks ago!

Then they sent me a survey

"how did we do?"

ROFL

I just hit and delete em

and then there's the reminders, just in case I forgot LOL

but I love the line "we value your opinion"

sure....
