I complete agree. eBay has turned against it's sellers. It's all about Big-Business now. They take around $5 PER LISTING in upfront listing fees, then they take 10-15% of you final value, and then they tack on Paypal fees!
At the end of each listing, if you REALLY look, you're paying somewhere between $5 - $15 PER LISTING!!!
Now they're saying they are trying to attract Big Corporation to list their items Directly on the eBay site, but this is EXACTLY the OPPOSITE of what people want!!! People go to eBay exactly BECAUSE it's a FREE MARKET SYSTEM. IF WE WANTED TO GO TO THE MALL, WE'D GO TO THE MALL!!! eBay's beauty was that it was free, but it has become ugly.
It used to be, you could just buy all the stuff people had sitting around in their garage, but now their are license agreements between eBay and certain vendors, and you can't hardly list anything anymore without eBay canceling the listing and they are SO GREEDY. They KEEP the listing fees and they refuse to communicate with you about why the listing is canceled other than to email you back with a link to their "Company Policy." And even if you get into contact with their Chat-Team directly, all they say is, "I'm sorry this is a Team Trust Issue, but they do not chat directly. But you can email them at this link "..." " They have wonderful CUSTOMER service and TERRIBLE Seller Service.
I used to sell hundred$ of dollar$ a week on eBay, but I got SO sick of them constantly canceling listings for no reason that I finally just quit.
SOMEONE NEEDS to create a new auction site for America. eBay NEEDS to be taken down. eBay has crossed the line one too many times and it's time for eBay to pay.
I complete agree. eBay has
