PWCC Videos and Future Auction

On eBay, the only thing they could do before was block bidders who didn't pay. And eBay's platform only allows a maximum of 5,000 users to be blocked, but PWCC has a list of 20,000+ users that they'd like to block for non payment so they have to recycle the list every time they want to add someone to it. They tried multiple times to get ebay to increase that number but ebay literally couldn't figure out how to do. I'll repeat that in case that didn't land for you. Ebay is incapable of increasing the maximum number of blocked bidders above 5,000 because their database and systems architects are archaic and incompetent. It costs money to upgrade these systems to bring them into the 21st century, and ebay doesn't think it's worth making those investments.

Interesting, had never heard that before. And just to clarify, the 5,000 limit is per seller, correct.

If true, makes you wonder why no one from PWCC ever came on here to pass that info along in any of the threads they were being bashed in regarding alleged shill bidding. If they truly were being limited in how many bidders could be blocked at once, it would make it a bit more difficult to keep up with policing on Ebay.

Of course, there are also the references in some other threads/posts about the level Ebay personnel went to in attacking the one couple who had posted some negative stories about Ebay online. That kind of story could deter almost anyone from saying anything that could make Ebay potentially look bad. Makes you wonder and think about what all we don't yet (or never will) know that may be going on behind the scenes of everything currently going on.

EBay = Don Corleone ?

If so, would you release possible derogatory "inside information" about them in public?

I know, that is kind of what I was getting at. Wonder if anyone else selling on Ebay can confirm or deny the 5,000 blocked buyer limit.

Never really looked before, but the 5,000 max is true ...here is my screen

FWIW, I just had an ad for PWCC pop up on my YouTube feed. I was looking at something totally unrelated to cards. (https://youtu.be/0u0M4CMq7uI if you're into a little light opera.)
