eBay have encouraged their buyers to be more and more demanding over a long period of time. They have also put in place practices which make it very easy for scammers and thieves, to the detriment of their paying customers. They therefore encourage a certain sort of buyer - a sort of hybrid, which will not be found anywhere else.
Think about it - which High Sreet shop would tolerate the antics of some eBay buyers? eBay pressure their paying customers to accept this unreasonable behaviour, on pain of sanctions. You may wonder why, I certainly do.
Like any other trading partner, eBid does not encourage its buyers to expect any more than they are due under the law, and so does not suffer the high proportion of dishonesty that eBay does.
There will be exceptions, but I believe the average eBid buyer is above such devious practices.
