FUCK! The new ebay policies for feedback are so fucked up. I also just read that if someone has below 95 percent feedback that ebay/paypal will hold your money until the buyer leaves positive feedback. WOW. sooooo fucked up. I thought well then just take money orders which most buyers wont bid then but you wont get raped by these horrible companies, but that doesnt matter because you must use paypal if you have below 95 percent feedback. There is no seller protection and its all about buyer perks. Man this does not affect me now and I hope it doesnt ever but I always buy from reputable sellers I have saved and there feedback has been damaged now and neutral feedback lowers your percentage and feedback is not lifetime now. its annually. The whole sellers cant leave negative feedback thing is fucked. Man buyers can get away with a lot now. Cool. Nice company. Someone should just start a site for auctioning music gear and EVERYONE should just boycott ebay and start using it. I love ebay and what it does for people but fuck its scary now. www.paypalsucks.com (will make you second guess using paypal.
ok thats my 5 am rant. going back into my hole

902this week I got to find how much paypal fucking sucks.
Last thursday I was trying to buy a guitar for a friend, he's new to ebay and paypal and is always asking me for help and questions. Anyhow, he tried to use buy-it-now on a guitar but it didn't work for him.
He tried doing it again and it didn't work too, only then he found out he maxed his credit card.
He asked me to try it and I everything went ok until the final payment step, you know, when it says it sent the money to the seller. That step didn't go through, it gave me some peculiar error message. I realized that that's what happened to my friend. Of course, the guitar didn't sell to any of us, but our money was "taken".
On monday I was trying to buy myself a flying ticket, I hand them my Visa and the tourist agency rep is telling me the card is denied. Fuck. I realize it's because of this transaction that didn't go through.
I call my credit card company and explain them the situation, they're being kind and telling me they're gonna have to call paypal and ask them to cancel the "authorization".
Here's how I get the authorization thing. the credit card company is authorizing my card and letting paypal take the money out of the card. Even if paypal don't use the money, the money was still "taken" from my card/credit company.
The credit card company calls paypal and I explain them the situation, they don't really get what's going on, but eventually they do. They see that this transaction didn't go through and keep me holding on the line. I'm ok with holding on the line.
The supervisor's supervisor is getting back to me, telling me there's nothing that could be done.
Now the credit card rep is getting in the conversation. All she needs paypal's rep to do is to say(say, in words, not send any document or anything) that she approves to cancel this authorization. She doesn't agree to do that. Mother fuckers practically took my money, I can't use my card until this authorization fuck is off. When is it off? 7 working days after the transaction was "made".
7 working days and I'm already in paris. I need to buy a plane ticket and pay for the hotel.
I did find a workaround to get money to my card so I can buy the ticket but I won't be able to pay for the hotel with it. Sure, there are other ways of paying. but paypal fucked me up and it's all because of a bug in their system.

903Adding a new one...
Lado TL-80 Vintage Telecaster - in as-new condition, except there's a couple marks on the hardshell case - $1000 includes shipping in CONUS.
Tone pot is a push-pull, for coil splitting (both pickups). Hot output, very defined sound, purtiest piece of Amish furniture you ever seen. Pictures don't come close to doing it justice.
Second from the left in this picture
Here's some pics I took just now. It's hard to photograph, cause the finish is perfect and quite shiny.

Man thats so fucked up. WOW!!
I had opened an account for my first time years ago and I was using it very mildly and I sold some bigger items and when I was paid for the items they had bought from me. Almost like clock work the money arrived in my paypal account and they locked my account with over 2000 of my money in there. Sooooo there reason was because my last name matched someone elses last name that had a fraudulent account. So fucking stupid. How many mr smiths are there in the world? wow. Even though they had my bank info, social info, address, full name, everything possible to make is so obvious im not fraudulent they just wanted to rape me of my money. So I just ripped them the fuck apart for like weeks and finally broke them down to give me my fucking money. FUCK PAYPAL....INVEST IN GETTING A MERCHANTS ACCOUNT FOR YOURSELF......AFTER NOT HAVING TO PAY PERCENTAGES AND FEES TO PAYPAL, THE MERCHANT ACCOUNT IS SOOOOOO MUCH CHEAPER!!!!!!!!
FUCK THEY PISS ME OFF!!!!!!!!
