Has Ebay Finally Shot Itself In the Foot?

[99walker]

i had to prove to them after i sent them 3 e-mails and got shot down 2 times and i was suspended after a week from the discussion board and then they ruled in my favor ..but found out this women was playing a game
1. a buyer tells me to set up a buy it now after i told her i could not
2. i blocked her after she got very ****y with me over 300.00 in product and a free demo fiskars bag
3. tells freind bid on item and she pays for it
4. freind wins and gets item and leaves me neg. feedback for nothing
5. she was so nutzoid she does rebuttal to all her positve feedback and ebay took it all off after she mentioned my ebay name ....

i am starting to finally move all my ebay items over here because feedback system is all upside down when ebay tells me yes you can not leave any negative feedback for the buyer and if you do not like it close your account and leave ...i joined in 1999 and been paying 1000.00 (12 thosand a year) in fees every month since 1999 and this is how they treat us sellers ...i do not think so

12000.00 x 12=144000.00 a year x11 years =1584000.00
i am only one person making these sales

99walker, that is awful, but as a former Feepay buyer I can say I was treated poorly as well, having being tossed off for "fraud" back in 2000 when my account was hacked and Feepay did nothing to help me, as a buyer and the innocent victim of hacking, regardless of the umpteen e mails with info. that I sent to their robot support desk.

Welcome to eBid, this is a much friendlier, member oriented site, regardless of which side of the buying/selling fence (or both, as myself) you're on.

Happy holidays and best wishes for many sales to all,

I was reading the Feedback posts yesterday and saw this so I went to my store and blocked her and everyone else you all were complaining about. I had two people refuse to send my item back for refund so they opened a case against me and were refunded their money and left me neg.

99Walker thats an abismal way for them to treat you

good luck over here, im just a new person here but have been treated so well, plus such a friendly and suppotive group these guys are, im sure you will do really well. sounds like its the other sites huge loss and eBids gain

They seem to shoot themselves in the foot everyday.
That is why more and more sellers are moving to alt sites.

We just need a way of moving the buyers to ebid.
To make it a destination site!

hi i am one of those people who are in the process of changing over. I have been with ebay for years have become a real top seller with a feedback of 14000 now they are telling me that i am not selling enough and they will be reducing the amount of items i am allowed to list
so your prediction is definatley true, the feedback system is so wrong, if i sell something and they decide not to pay there is nothing i can do to warn other sellers

[Cocksparrer]

It shot itself in the foot 18 months ago, it's now working on it's other body parts, it may have trouble finding it's brains though!

heh heh heh heh

Thing is ebay has already stopped sellers from leaving negs no matter what. I think thats bad if a customer does not contact the seller & try to reslove the problem then they should NOT be allowed to leave negs.


Will someone please pm me the names so I can block them too. Thanks

Have you done the maths? How many buyers on feeBay? What proportion are bad buyers? Say it's 1 bad buyer in 1,000, you've got a truly enormous number of buyers to block. And that ignores the bad buyers who re-register under a different name when their pattern starts to become evident.

you are so right, i know of 2 on the dark side that have 2 accounts, but use them for unscrupulous reasons.

So if Ebay are poor with small sellers and poor with big sellers, just who are they targetting?
