bijan sabet: My trouble with eBay
Selling on eBay is awful in my experience […]

I’ve had exactly the same experience. eBay has become something it was never meant to be - it started as a place for hard-to-find or potentially high-value goods, but has become simply “Craigslist with a payment system”. This results in the sort of endless requests you’re talking about.One of the key benefits of an online auction system is that it should automate much of the hard work of selling and minimise necessary communication, but because the way people use eBay has changed (perhaps as it’s become more mainstream) the communication has crept back in.
