You can unban yourself if needed. It also sends me reports to investigate the ban.
DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

This is something I've seen sellers do. Vendors selling multiple items of something put the prices up astronomically when they have sold out (rather than selling out). I can only assume it has some economical benefit for them (saves re-listing?) Check the vendors sales history, he's sold lots of PCI sound and gfx cards all sensible prices around £10 mark so this is almost certainly a technique rather than an expected price.

eBay rule change. A buyer protection fee is now added. So if a vendor lists something for a round number say £50k eBay automatically adds on the extra.
eBay wrote:The Buyer Protection fee is calculated as:

A flat fee of up to £0.75 per item, and
4% of the item price up to £300, and
2% of any portion of the item price from £300 to £4,000
The maximum is (£0.75 + (£300*4%) + (£3700*2%)) = £86.75

All eBay listings made after this change have strange non-round values now. Listings made before the rule change are still round numbers.

@alexh

Of course. How could I forget the recently added 'buyer protection fee'?

I wonder, does the protection cover excessive markups by the seller? :lol:
