TechTalk - How to close your eBay account.

eBay is great - if you are a buyer.

eBay policies have been changing and changing to protect the buyer and screwing over the seller.  Unfortunately, the items that I sell aren't high-margin products and I will be cancelling my account.

So... How do you cancel an account!?

Once you submit your request - eBay will keep your account open for 180 days (another reason to HATE eBay - you will be called a non-registered user and you will not be able to buy or sell on eBay)

Before you can even file for a request - make sure you don't owe eBay anything.  If you've recently made a payment (such as seller fees) - you'll have to wait 30 days to file an account closure.

Alright, now we are ready to go!

First, visit (CLOSING YOUR ACCOUNT), then you'll be asked a couple of questions.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to close my account until June 1, 2012.

Ha! Will definitely update this then.

For now, you can visit http://fuckyouebay.com/ - its quite entertaining.

eBay - How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

Apparently, 500 times...

A lot of people are apprehensive about buying things online, and I am not one of those people, I've purchased everything from computers, Blu Ray players, video games, cell phones, clothes, food, protein shakes, energy bars, running gear, etc.

Buying things online is great... a lot of merchants are cheaper online and offer free shipping and they are not obligated to charge state tax (eBay, Amazon, etc.)

Things that I recommend buying on eBay...

-Video Games

-Cell Phone accessories (chargers, cases, etc - super cheap!)

-CDs - want an old CD, eBay for cheap!

Other than that it is basically based on your level of comfort, I buy my running shoes on eBay (new) or Amazon and it's normally $50 cheaper than buying them at the store...

Well, speaking of eBay, I will be listing lots of things on sale in the near future!  Cleaning house!

If you want to check out what I'll have for sale... check out my LINK HERE!! (posting this week-ISH)

Goodbye, Mr. Reliable

MR. RELIABLE

I can't believe its been almost 4 years, and yes, its time for us now to part.

We've paid bills together, gone shopping, read the latest news. We've been to 3 continents together, met countless friends, kept in touch with our closest siblings, and make a couple of appointments here and there.

This is been an unbelievable run and I am sad to see you go, but as you know sometimes the grass is greener on the other side.

I am surprised that there are many people out there that want you, so off you go to your new home. Hopefully, you will be taken care of as well as I have taken care of you and vice versa. Show them the kindness and ease of the new world that you opened my eyes to.

I can't believe you still fetch a premium price after all these years. Yes, I know what I did isn't the best thing, selling you on eBay. But it just goes to show that you are still a top notch product.

Wish you all the best with your new owner. Fortunately, he's in Maui. You won't have to go anywhere cold, and maybe I can stop by and see you sometime.

PS. You had a winning bid of $459.00. I can't believe it! Going to miss you mucho!

Your friend always,
-Max
