Reply to "eBay Germany/CH/A FORBID sniping!!!"

It's not an EU Rule, it's an eBay Germany/Switzerland/Austria rule. The government(s) did not make this rule, eBay did. Therefore your anti-EU political spin is pretty pointless, bclockey.

Nevertheless I think it's a bad and monopolistic idea of eBay all the same. I guess they will use their smaller European franchises as "proving grounds" and if revenue doesn't drop they will forbid sniping on all sites. But maybe not - the non-US eBays have always been more restrictive than the US version, for example not allowing reserve price auctions.

Now I wish I hadn't moved my membership from eBay US to eBay Germany - I joined before eBay Germany even existed and moved over to make paying them easier, not having a credit card at that time.

I don't think I can now go back to eBay US as long as my residence is in a country that has its own eBay site.

Be ashamed of yourself, eBay!
