Policy Changes for eBay Sellers

Tweet

Recently there were some policy changes on eBay and Paypal: First, we were told that there was fee reduction. WOW, GREAT!. That was a short-lived smile on the face of the average sellers. A few sentences later we read in the eBay announcement that listing fees were going down by as little as a nickel while Final Value Fees were going up by as much as 67%. Reserve fees doubled and were made non-refundable. Fee hikes are bad enough without being lied to about them. Then we learned that while buyers were still allowed to leave positive, negative or neutral feedback while sellers were only allowed to leave positives. Ebay is going to tell me what my opinion of a transaction is going to be? What if it wasn't positive? Oh, then I can leave nothing. Well that really doesn't work. What if a buyer does not paid, or paid a month late, or called me at home at 3 am? What if they filed a chargeback and sent back a USED broken ipod instead of the brand new one they bought from me? Positive feedback or nothing really doesn't work now does it? Oh, there is the paypal issue. PAYPAL can hold the sellers money from a sale up to 21 days. Here is the post from a PINK on the the PAYPAL thread:Your payments WILL NOT BE HELD if you meet all the following requirements: eBay Tenure: Greater than 6 months Total Feedback score: More than 100 Dissatisfied Buyers Percentage: Less than 5% Or if you meet all the following requirements: Detailed Seller Rating: Greater than 4.5 Total Detailed Seller Ratings Received: More than 20 in the last 12 months. Oh my god, PAYPAL will just keep the interest they earn on your money for all their trouble. So what do you think about the eBay and Paypal changes? Steveniam http://www.tipsforfastweightloss.com
