Typical eBay. I think they play a game there where
they come up with new
and creative ways to piss off their users. If there were competition in
that particular market sector then you better bet they would change their
tune in an instant.
eBay makes Microsoft look good.

Considering that eBay is nothing more then a middleman between a buyer and a
seller I can see why they would not want it to be easy for people using the
system to communicate between each other through eBay. You can easily ask
any seller a question you want for any active auction.
My only problem with eBay to date is not being able to browse auctions more
then a month old to find out the selling price history (or availability) of
things I want to add to my collection. I haven't been burned by them yet so
I cant comment on their customer support over disputes.
