Has Ebay Finally Shot Itself In the Foot?
Ebay announced sweeping changes starting from February. They are reducing listin fees, but are forcing all Powersellers to register as business users.
More concerning for the Seller is Ebay will not allow sellers to leave neagative feedback regardless.
Total uproar on the ebay forums. I reckon we will be seeing some new faces soon : )
Feebay deserter has a few questions please?
Hi,
I sell on ebay but their new greedbay policy's are driving me out.
Been checking this site out for a couple of days, now.
Seems to me the fees are a lot clearer and it is a fair trading ground not like some other sites.
What are sales like on here? does it peak and trough and is it getting busier?
Seems to be a few newbies from ebay.
Has membership grown in the last week or so?
Finally is the site promoted? And if so how?
Cheers
Annie
Has Ebay Finally Shot itself In the Foot
Hello everyone I am a powerseller with 100% positive feedback on eBay. My name, cwolf113, is the same as it is here. eBay has shot itself in the foot and I will be monitoring this site as I am trying to find a new home for my online auctions. So far from everything I have seen it will probably be my choice. Thanks for all of the help so far with my questions and I look forward to buying and selling in a fair trading atmosphere.
Not only has eBay changed the feedback system to make it easy for buyers to extort sellers they have taken away the gallery and lowered insertion fee's...why would the fee change upset me? Because they have raised the final value fee's much more than the smoke screen gallery fee's and insertion fee's. The only way the new system will help is if your item doesn't sell! They have also implemented a new detailed seller ratings program that is absolutely ridiculous. etc.... I have sent invitations to join Ebid to over 1000 people if we all do this we can build this site bigger than eBay since they have forgotten that us sellers built eBay to what it was. See ya soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ebay shot itself ...and is driving away good sellers!

Well, cwolf113...you are not alone. I'm letting my LAST Ebay items run their course and then my business goes here, too. My longtime ID at Ebay(7+ years) is starwatcher03 ...and I also have a 100% positive feedback.
Ebay's slap in the face to its sellers was more than I was willing to take. I do not do business where I'm not appreciated.
Ebid seems far more friendly and member oriented.
