New Fees and Policies on Ebay--Do you like them?

i've pretty much stopped selling on there, most of my stuff was in the under 5 dollar range, so when i looked at all the fees i was paying and the inability to use RME, it just wasn't worth it. i think that if you have an issue with a buyer, such as non payment, then you should be able to leave negative. instead, you get all these new people on there screwing up your day and costing you money and you can't even prevent others from seeing it. its stupid and biased. they're sales have already dropped.

I have been a powerseller several times on ebay. But their corporate greed has turned me off. They don't understand that they are providing a portal for sellers to peddle their wares. Without the seller it is irrelevant how many buyers they have. When they changed the feedback policy, I stopped leaving feedback. It was pointless. Why should a seller leave feedback when it can only be positive? I own a service company and have released some problem clients. A company is better off knowing who these problem clients are. The same goes for ebay. I'd have no problem banning any potential problem customer.

I hate every single thing about it I don't sell on there anymore now I have my own webstore and list things on Ioffer

I don't know I have not bought anything yet from ebay . cd

I hate ebay. Between their fees and paypal fees, after you sell something you haven't really made any profit. It makes me angry too when a buyer leaves negative feedback for a misunderstanding or something that is their fault or they take too long to pay you with no communication and then you can't do anything about it. The only thing good about ebay is the amount of prospective customers. There are other sites that are better to sell things on, like ecrater, but you wont get nearly as much traffic to your items, so you won't sell quite as much. I have noticed a lot of people unhappy with ebay, though, so maybe another marketplace will come out on top soon.

nope i never liked the new fees and policies on ebay. i wish they'd still recnsider what they;re doing

I used to be a powerseller on ebay and had my own business selling over 700 items a week across 3 different accounts, my fee's back then were fairly okay, easily payable and never seemed to be overly bad even when i took into account the paypal fee's as well. I stopped selling for about 2 years and recently put a few auctions up just to de-clutter the house a little. I was astounded at the high fee's i was charged for the items i had listed, the listing fee's were bad enough and then the final value fee's OMG they were diabolical out of what i took for my auctions i paid around 12% in total to ebay for fee's it's stupid. To me ebay have gotten really greedy now and they look like they are trying to get rid of hobby sellers by charging them stupid amounts for listing and final values but yet they are helping the business sellers because ebay want a retail site with nothing more than buy it nows on there. They really are a bunch of idiots over at ebay.

I think eBay charges too much in fees as it is. I have been considering using another site for soem time now, and this just might be the push that causes me to do so. After insertion fees on eBay and fees taken out from PayPal, where I receive the majority of my payments from eBay, sometimes it's hard to turn a profit with certain items!
