I went on ebay today, as I was going to add a "Buy it Now" price on the "Empire Strikes Back" Super 8 scope feature ...

It wouldn't allow me to ...

For some bizarre reason, my account is limited. Now, it states that I may not list anymore items, which is bizarre in and of itself, but it will now not even let me add a "Buy it Now" option on an EXISTING ITEM?

What the hell, and I mean WHAT THE HELL is going on with ebay?

Actually, I didn't figure it out ...

I got on the phone for over an hour, working my way up to a sixth higher supervisor, all commenting, "Well, that's bizarre" and not knowing why that was put on there. The last gentleman I spoke to was finally able to place the "Buy it Now" option on the auction. So, it's taken care of. But boy, what a pain in the arse.

By the ways folks, there is a "Buy it Now" option on the auction, if anyone is interested.

Osi,I don't know much about Ebay,but it does give the impression
it is in need of a good shake up.What if something along the lines
of someone on this forum being appointed to sell items for other
people,as I understand you've got to sell so many per year or
the bogeyman gets you.Therefore if there were said person
doing this,would that not work out cheaper for all concerned
except ebay and the spokes person would be entitled to a percentage.There's a nice little earner for someone.A frontman
for the forum and some beer tokens into the bargain.Just a
thought.
