Never heard about ending auctions on Sunday afternoons. I wouldn't be surprised if it is true. I figured Fri-Sun evenings were good times to end them.

You only have to be reasonable, courteous and willing to work with people to resolve the occasional problem. You'll make mistakes and when you do do not try to make the other party pay for them.
If you're doing it as a business part of its cost is the losses from the few unreasonable customers. If you're doing it as occasional seller realize that it's not a money making device and just accept the losses as part of it.
In the first part, I meant they required the buyer to have a certain number of positive feedback from other sellers (e.g. 10 positive transactions). Not requiring them to leave feedback. I'm not saying that is any better though.
For now I'm going to be doing it as an occasional seller for some extra money. I want to do as much as possible to weed out problem buyers though.
