Oh, for god sakes eBay!

We had the letters, they ask for. I will find out more details.

RavenU | October 08, 03:05 CET

Maybe ebay didn'y believe the letters? They did look genuine.

I'd put in a bid as well! Not for Joss, that would have ended up going for way more than I could afford but for David Fury. I was going to ask him about the mustard. And what it was like having a puppet sticking it's hand in your back!

I never saw the Woodward thing again, I hope they can relist these, espically as it's for a good cause.

Yeah, just found out, like, now. Will find out what the problem is and relist. I don't see how they could have a problem with the letters, since they're from the agencies listed. Anyway... we'll get them back up soon, hopefully. Grr... we've raised lots of money for charity on Ebay, not sure what the deal is.

The AtS 100th Anniversary party wine glasses that Jonathan Woodward offered on Ebay were posted and sold again, but went relatively unnoticed the second time around, so somebody got a great deal on them.

EBay is so damned bitchy about that stuff. They pulled an auction I was interested in three times for listing vios and then because they have no control over their own bidding system, they pulled it again when people started screwing up the auction and posting fake bids. They then turned around and made it out like it was the auctioner's fault when they had all the proper paperwork to start with.

Basically EBay wants to screw people sideways so that they will get the bidding commissions on the high dollar stuff even if the auction is to benefit charity.

Well hopefully it will get sorted out very soon, it's for a very good cause.

We're contacting Ebay for further information. Since they don't list a phone number, we have to email them and wait for their reply. Will keep everyone updated & will hopefully have the problem resolved shortly.

Gah, I hate ebay ! I just got my SB notice now, as I'm walking out the door to get a bite to eat and see Serenity again at 10pm. I hope it can be sorted, I was really looking fwd to winning the Camden Toy auction :-(

t r a c y | October 08, 04:48 CET

We'll get it sorted out & I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. :-(

Update: Got a phone number for Ebay, called. Was told we could only deal with this problem through email. Seriously... gotta love it, cause it's so absurd.

looking | October 08, 04:51 CET

That is rather odd, looking...

I was planning on bidding, too. I wish you luck trying to get everything sorted out.

An advanced warning, looking: eBay can be a real pain. If they don't want you listing something, they'll just ignore you, or copy and paste a non-sensical answer.

Found this address on Ebay's website. The only way would be to email them or send a letter to this address (perhaps).
eBay Inc.

Hate it when you can't talk to a Real Person. Grrr

AncientMagicks | October 08, 06:29 CET

They did the same thing for that silly charity auction by Britney for her bra because they forbid "preworn underwear". They are such morons and all it takes is one person to complain to them. You might end up having to talk to the "Safe Harbour" division there.

TaraLivesOn | October 08, 15:12 CET

How about we just put in bids here? Mr Fury, if you read this, £100. You can even reverse the charges. To England. As long as you speak very quickly!

zz9 | October 08, 15:24 CET

Update: Don't think this will be resolved before Monday. ACK!!!!

looking | October 08, 18:46 CET

looking - Don't fret on our account; I think by now most people know that Ebay is a tad insane & that this totally isn't your fault.
