Do not invest.
This company is going down the drain
>t.been selling there for a couple of years.
The customers are more demanding, more bottomfeeders, new policies from ebay that facilitates theft, mad long time sellers, their forums is just a negative atmosphere with nothing but complaints about low sales and how they have been scammed, CEO admitted to manipulating the search engine according to short-term trends, but the truth is that it is way bigger than that, Chinese sellers taking over etc.
It's over. They moved way to far away from their original model and instead decided to cater to plebs, people wanting iphones and crap instead of collectibles and that sort.
WORST June / July sales I’ve ever had... longtime vintage/antique collectibles top rated seller.
On top of that, they raised the bar on what qualifies as Top rated Seller status while at the same time cutting the Top Rated Seller discount from 20% to 10%. WTF eBay?!
you cucks have been crying about the same shit since I had mer learners permit and I'm a fucking boomer. I'ts their website you fucking crybaby. Ebay doesn't give one fuck about you cause they don't need you;
any alternatives?
30 day no questions asked returns goy
I've been using eBay to buy and sell stuff and I don't see any problem with it. It's still far ahead of Amazon.
Got fucked hard by a nigger
>>Sold a year old laptop
>>sold it for $400 less then what I wanted (what it was worth) but fuck it
>>nigger takes a knife and scratches the laptop
>>complains with pictures of this damage
>>claims charger doesn't work
>>wants ALL the money back ($800)
>>paypal freezes me
>>ebay freezes me
>>reluctantly give this fuckign queer $100 refund
>>$100 paypal fee
>>$200 ebay fee
I mean i got absoutley fucked by an account takeover and ebay never even apologized. Will be using amazon from now on it's worth paying for
>a business is not reliant on the customers
unironically leave this board
>Will be using amazon
amazon is just as bad
they need customers but they have so many big customers now (essentially running giant e-commerce stores) that they don't really care much about individual/casual sellers.
I started selling somewhat recently, 6 months ago, and I have to say their website is fucking awful. Can't believe a multi billion dollar corporation has a website that feels like its from 1995
decentralized as-is market places gonna be the way of the future, just old on
This time it's different.
This lol
Amazon sees what is selling the most and then just creates their own house brand, fucking over the entrepreneurs who took all the risk of finding what sells in the first place
Are you seller anons contemplating any of the decentralized marketplaces like particl or cybermiles? Because Amazon and eBay are just gonna keep fucking you over unless a real threat to their business model appears
You have to untick coloureds in customer settings
I used to sell a ton on eBay, was a Powerseller, top 1000 reviewer etc.
Such a shitshow today, their management never adjusted
My order history suddenly became unavailable and they never sent me my Nine Inch Nails CD can't even find the fucking order. Stopped buying used games off eBay because so many people are selling scratched shit that dosen't work. Have to wait 15+ minutes every time for tech support. Would never buy eBay stock and am probably going to stop using the platform.
but why buy a CD?
it sounds like the time is ripe for a good competitor. What can we do better to succeed where they're currently failing?
>sell a game for $40
>person buys game
>1 month later person does charge back through bank
>tell ebay to help me they say its paypals problem
>paypal has to appeal to this persons bank that the item was delivered
>show proof that the item was delivered
>i lose
>paypal now wants $40 plus an extra $20
i called the person who bought the game and it ended up being a 13 year old little girl. she said she got the game but the mom goes on some bullshit saying they got hacked and never purchased it.
fuck ebay and papal. they dont protect you for shit anymore. i closed that paypal account because of this stupid bitch. i wasnt paying $60.
