You can laugh if you want - I am

eBay

eBay and their 'rules' induced me to an epic childish fit-rant this morning.

My response to them included the lines "I HATE YOU" and "YOU STUPID THIEVING IDIOTS"(in capitals) and at least 10 exclamation marks (!!!!!!!!!!!!).

I hit 'reply' around 4 times. Maybe 5.

Anyway I am now laughing at my utter babyness. But I do still hate them.

Worry not Chuck, I've done it a few times when they've seemingly singled out my adverts as being "Against Ebay seller policies"

[Jasandjules]

Well, now and again the sheer idiocy of certain things drive us to this sort of behaviour.

I've done similar. Worst thing is you'll get a reply along the lines of:

eBay said:

Thank you for your email. I understand you're upset that we removed your XXXXXXX listing (item no. xxxxxxxx) without speaking to you first.

Also I understand you find it annoying that we did not provide any prior warnings or indications to you at the time of listing of your item, or before the removal of your item violating eBay policies.....

<snip>

.....Thank you again for your email. I understand that this may not be the answer that you had anticipated but I hope that this clarifies our
position for you.
Kind regards,

xxxxxxxx
eBay Trust & Safety

Which makes one feel a little stilly for ranting at them

I admit im guilty of this too.

I was on hold to BT yesterday evening for about 30mins, I spent most of that time talking and swearing at emma on their bt online help desk chat thing.

I haven't been an 'utter baby' for years, I should try it, probably very cathartic.

[parakitaMol.]

There's no excuse really. I was very babyish.


The only other time I have indulged in such childish behaviour was when Facebook deleted some pictures and sent a warning to me about "images of a sexual or offensive nature".... well, this also enraged me as I don't have any of that description. But they REFUSE to tell you what they removed so you're in the dark...

so I sent about 5 ranty complaints to them before it dawned on me that it was images from a 'Group' that I administer - some may be aware of the 'cockist' movement and the art gallery???

Well I'd uploaded most of the pics on behalf of others to the group, therefore Facebook deemed them to be mine, and that was it.

What a knobber!

[Jagdpanther]

Happy days, at least you can sit back and chuckle at it

[parakitaMol.]

Yeah in a kind of insane, worrying way.



And I still hate them.

I just wrote a list and crossed their name off it. In crayon.

This is how adults deal with it.

If you do get a response ie your email actually gets sent as opposed to bounced back, it will be an automated one at best.
The claims proceedure on Paypal is simply shambolic.
And even on the phone, they just terminate the call the moment you even raise your voice, having spent 5 minutes explaining your issue to someone who isn't fluent in English.
Possibly the most infuriating company in existance to deal with.

There sponse posted above doesn't look much like an automated reply to me and I have always received same day, personal replies to emails sent.

I'm not surprised either. Why should they tolerate you raising your voice when they are only trying to do a job? Would you?

Was that one of those:

BT: Please state your name

TS: Threesixty

BT: You said poofarty...is this correct?

TS: NO

BT: Your selection has been accepted...is this correct?

TS: NO

BT: You said yes...is this correct:

TS: NO

and so it goes around in circles with you trying to say your name, yes or no in a variety of accents and tones until it finaly accepts the correct answer...which it wont.
