MJ ebays latest insult - Add the lowest rating to every item.

I listed about 33 items took a few hours. After going back to check them I noticed that ebay had added "acceptable" to all my listings. ACCEPTABLE is the lowest rating and corresponds to CRAP NOT WORTH ANYTHING. Normally you can edit listings.

OK that's fun I can go back and edit that out. And extra couple of hours work. Nope. No way to edit it out.

I live helped. Them. They assured me it was a bug that would be fixed quickly. 5 days later no change. I'm waiting for live help now. I just waited 10 minutes only to have it go down. Now I'm waiting again.

There is alway craigs list which I use more and more.

Here is the text of my first live help chat:
