I joke around a lot with this podcast. I think I even joked about eBay mailing me spiders for the truth I speak about eBay's non-existent leadership on this podcast. eBay is such a garbage company. I have no idea how or why I allowed myself to trust such a shitty company. For twenty years too... perfect seller rating... then they stab me in the back. Two decades & they jack $1,575 from me at the worst possible time. Two months ago, I thought there was no way they would be able to get away with not paying me money for items I sold. eBay is so disconnected & so corrupt... after learning more about the whole story with Ida & David Steiner...

I try to put myself in the Steiner's shoes for a minute. At home with the TV on, middle of the summer time, then a bunch of weird shit starts happening & you don't know why. It keeps happening... I would think it was high school friends or someone who had the wrong house. The Steiners had to have shrugged it off at first, but it went on for two years. I could not imagine. They probably would think it's over & then something else weird would happen. 

I am going to make it to San Jose this summer. eBay is a corrupt corporation & they are terrorizing people who don't deserve it. Furthermore, eBay is stealing from honest sellers. I have gone through a pretty rough two months here picking up the pieces, but there is no way I could do this for two years like the Steiners did. Horrific story all around. I can try to joke around about it as eBay's corporate trainer, but I am only doing so to illustrate how disgusting eBay is as a company. eBay has no respect for anyone & it is no surprise it is collapsing more & more every day. I was so hesitant to sell that computer & GPU. I really wish I would not have. eBay messed up so many of my plans. It is only fair for me to make sure they hear about it in San Jose. It is not okay to do what they're doing to me or anyone. It is not okay what they did.

I will continue to mock eBay after I receive the money for the two items I sold two fucking months ago. I will try my best to make sure my experience doesn't happen to others. Please, do NOT use eBay for anything. eBay is NOT safe at all.

It is either eBay or Adyen or both that are running low on cash. Adyen is probably contributing to eBay's inability to pay honest sellers money for items they sold due to it's geographic location to Russia. I would also argue that Adyen is expanding way too much & is unable to provide services to its clients (eBay). The corruption within eBay, combined with Adyen's obsession with expansion, is probably why most eBay sellers with payouts over $1,000 are not getting paid. "Suspicious activity" indeed.

The second installment of secret audio from eBay's corporate trainer. 

Seller of the GPU: “Receipts for a 15 year old microphone?!”

eBay's Elite Security Team: "Uhh yeah we need those old receipts because we’re trying to keep the eBay Community safe.”

Seller of the GPU: "I canceled that microphone on April 07 because eBay is not safe & eBay is trying to steal my money!"

eBay's Elite Security Team: "Show us the 15 year-old receipt for the $50 microphone or else we won't pay you $1,575."

Seller of the GPU: "You are running an organized crime ring over there at Trust & Safety. eBay the Unsafe Marketplace."

eBay's Elite Security Team: "We uhhh don't make this decision lightly & after thinking about it. A lot. Your account is permanently suspended for being a threat to eBay's Community."

Seller of the GPU: "Holy shit, eBay is in fact an organized crime ring targeting & stealing from honest sellers based on slimy algorithms."
