Essentially you hate it because it gives others a chance to
buy this
for more than you're willing to pay?
If I were selling something, I'd love it for the exact
same reason.
No, I hate it because it defrauded me in 2005.
I'll pay whatever the card is worth to me tomorrow after noon.
But ebay is infested with scammers/liars/cheats, and ebay will NOT police them. In a real
auction, they'd be 86'd; on ebay you just get solicitations to have them write a
snail-mail (for a fee) to the seller instead of an e-mail that the seller won't
answer.
