    I suppose trying not to go broke with a superfluous hobby is quite the problem... *smh* Guess it's good he's toned it down, anyhow.

    Baba started adding a few items back to his eBay store.

    To add to the conspiracy theory, I wonder if someone reported him for selling KOs and eBay put a temporary restriction on him as penalty. I remember him listing a few KO MPs.

    That was quick. You ordered on 3/9/18 and it arrived 3/14/18. How did you get them to ship so fast?? Was FT-20G from a US seller?

    Ebay:
    Nope. Not true. As a seller on the receiving end and having been on both sides of the fence, ebay takes down those listings and then takes down your entire store. There is no in between or pick and choose, which is what Baba was doing since I saw FT products being pulled and never relisted.

    ebay does enforce KO products and use of names without companies permission. If you need an example of the later there, don't use "velcro" in your auctions. You'll find out what I mean pretty fast and I even contacted the company who owned the rights to that name and they were clueless of what was going on, even though ebay's email said to contact them with questions and concerns.

    I got the 15% promotion on $150 or more but im not sure if it needs to be from the same seller. I have $157 worth of stuff in my cart (2 sellers) but its not showing the 15% in added ebay bucks.

    They didnt offer me the 8% this time. A couple weeks ago when they did the 8 or 10% I bought tires for my truck and made a killing on ebay bucks :D

    For this particular promotion, the ITEM or more accurately the LISTING (which could consist of multiple items), has to be over $150 in order to get 15% eBay bucks, any ITEM/single LISTING between $50 - $149.99 will get you 8% eBay bucks. So, if you're total of $157 doesn't have any listings that were over $50 each, then you're only going to get the base 1% eBay bucks
