I've been an Ebay member since 1999 and a full time Power Seller since 2002 with 20,000+ transactions. This new feedback policy is idiotic. Ebay makes all their billions from sellers. We pay listing fees, final value fees, and Paypal fees. (Ebay owns Paypal.) Buyers don't pay any fees. Why shouldn't the sellers be allowed to rate buyers? Sellers are going to receive lots of unjustified negative feedbacks because buyers don't have to worry about receiving one in return. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNFAIR!!
I didn't find out about the 21day paypal hold until this morning, when I was expecting to recieve payment for an item sold only to find out that the money that I desperately need is being held by paypal for 21days. I am so outraged at Ebay and paypal. I did notice that they have already collected their 3 dollar fee out of the payment though. I'm done with it all. I have lost hope of there ever being corporate trust again. These people should be proud, they are the smartest criminals ever. FTA
I GROSS ON AVG £20.000 PER MONTH ON EBAY, I HATE EBAY WITH PASSION, THE FEEDBACK SYSTEM AND FEES ARE OUTRAGIOUS, THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS TERRIBLE. John Donahoe IS PUTTING EBAY INTO A GRAVE, IVE NEVER HEARD SO MANY COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO NUMBERS OF SHOPS/SELLERS CLOSING AND MOVING ELSEWHERE.
PayPal must be Separated from Ebay. Ebay stock IS NOT REFLECTING THE STATE OF EBAY. It is WRONGFULLY tied to PayPal, which should be an offering on its own accord. STOCK FRAUD is now under way.
eBay Motors is ridiculous also. $125 flat fee for successful listings??? They will be taking 25% on a guy selling a car for $500, yet only 1.25% on a guy selling a $10,000 car. eBay Motors has to be losing revenues on their fees. That would be like the gov't lowering taxes jurastically on the top 5% of America and massively raising taxes on the lower 25%. Not only would the Gov't lose tax revenues but they would also be discouraging economic growth!
Excessive shipping?! What about excessive fees? I sell cheap stuff on Ebay... around $10 each, I lose almost $2 of that up front with Ebay fees, then another $1 or so from Paypal fees! For every $10 I "make" on ebay, I lose about $3 to the fees. I do free shipping now, but I can only do that because I've recently had to raise my item costs to $15 then offer free shipping to attract buyers. That $15 JUST about covers the fees and shipping and still lets me get my $10.
I quite listing,haven't used their service in a year now.I used to list around 500-700 items a year,and I used to purchase 700-900 items not any more.Their data sucked steals sellers money a lot of times.
"Retaining the buyer" WOW don't THEY know that the majority of the SELLERS are the BUYERS!!! Keep kicking us around Ebay....you've lost a big number of those "BUYERS"
eBay should see the way they are upsetting people; yet if their plan is to make the market more competitive, then they are succeeding! The people that leave eBay are driving up the competition for those that stay. The buyers will end up paying higher prices. Their master plan might very well be working to raise the values of items. As our economy goes, this may be beneficial in the end?! Who knows what their main objective REALLY is?!!
Damn Ebay, make fake accounts and give bad DSR's to your competition! You can get an anonymous credt card at a damn store now and use it to register-lol. Ebay is a NIGHTMARE to sell and buy on, but it was not always this way before. Sadly, the venue is gone and a lot of people suffered because of the Gestapo Donahoe! I REALLY HOPE GREEDBAY gets theirs in the end!
Hey Mr Donahoe....please go to your headquarters and see why we sellers are having so many glitches? Pictures not showing,odd pop ups asking for our password,and a myriad other glitches. Also the eBay announcements has NOTHING in regards to this??? How many s
I have to say I could live with a little hike in the FVF but the feedback thing is what upsets me the most. It's cut throat on ebay, anyone who has a wild hair can get your life work wiped out!! that's bullshit.
EBAY SUCKS. There is no protection for sellers. I recently have had buyers threaten negative feedback and low DSR unless I give them discount on their purchase of book with free shipping. Reported to ebay. Nothing done. I have over 7000 transactions on ebay. Stopped selling and buying. The DSR star system is one of the worst things ebay has done. 4 is stated to be good but if everyone left 4 seller would soon find themselfs kicked off.
i don't know why people sell on ebay have you seen how much they charge when you sell a item. you know if you say anything bad about ebay on the forums on ebay you get a instant ban
Hi p dog here, I have tried posting comments on the various ebay vids that are positive to ebay, " very few I might add" and all of my postings seem to be censored is this right, Truth hurts doesn't ebay?
We're wasting less and less of our time talking about ebay and doing more and more selling and buying elsewhere. Why waste our breath talking to the obviously insane? One day, not too far away, this insane man will be talking to an empty rubber room.
im confused... this whole thing is about sellers having trouble or buyers having trouble? cuz im a first time pay pal and ebay user and i already bidded on 2 things(less than 30 for both things) and im scared to add my ban account to my pay pal to pay for the items(im gonna have to anyway) so i need to know whats going on here. someone reply fast please the bid ends in 2 days and couple of hours
This John CEO is so full of BS for example, sold a item for $100: old system (5.25% on 25 + 3.25% on 75) = $3.7475 you pay $3.75 to ebay (another $3 for paypal) new system (8.75% on $25 & 3.5% on $75) it will be $4.8125 compare to 3.7475 (a 28% increase) let said u got 5% of the FVF back, that's $4.8125 - $.24 = $4.57 for 15% (likely impossible to reach 4.8 DSR), $4.8125 - $.72 = $4.01 I'm a college student & after calculation, I can't get how you can save???
