Google is about to Launch an auction site & their reason is because of the arragants of ebay , Google sees how unhappy sellers have become with ebay & figure this is their chance to cash in on ebays mentallity of being the only guy on the block.. Google will definitly take a nice chunck away from ebay.. Can't wait.. Also the way ebay forced sellers to only use paypal , they claim they left us an alternitive with our own merchant credit cards knowing that no one would do this because it costs more.. I would love to see ebay fold up.. With this overseas customer service I would also like to see the protesters that have been protesting all over the county to go & sit on ebay front door for a few weeks..Bad press is what they need.. Peace Out

I have been trying Ebid.net, but don't have that much exposure unless I "feed" it from other websites such as Craigs List or Niche Forums. Has anybody had any succes with OnlineAuction or Webstore?

Your best alternative is to just QUIT selling on eBay like so many of us have already done. Donate all your wares to a charity or find a local flea market, trade show, or craigslist or garage sale or local want ads to sell the stuff.  Or just box it up and hide it in the closet like so many of us have already done.

eBay not Ebay.

WOW! I have been on eBay for awhile now, just really started to sell a year and a half ago, was always a buyer. Have to tell you, this has become a BUYERS site. It protects the buyers, not the sellers. I have had nothing but problems with buyers in the last six months, never had problems before. Frustrating. But then, you call customer service for help... HOLY CRAP! Disrepectful, uninformed, useless, time consuming, a total waste of time. They cannot help you at all. Nor do they wish to. Tonight is the first time I have ever come to the forums, I can't believe how many sellers there are that are as pissed off and fed up as I am. I will ask this question ONE MORE TIME: what is the point of  me being able to set in my preferences the ability to block buyers with negative feedback if I can't leave negative feedback for bad buyers? Furthermore, on one of the other forums here tonight, I saw a member with single digit feedback ask in the forum what he can do about the two unpaid item strikes against him, and another member, also with single digit feedbacks, told him to just close his one account and open up another, and he'd be "as clean as snow". That is just wonderful.

I was doing over $1,200 a month in commissions back to Ebay and that was AFTER the 20% discount.  They don't care how much you bill with them and how hard you work to keep your ratings up.  There is absolutely, positively NO ACCOUNTABILITY on their side.  I had the exact same customer service fiasco over a billing issue that they started and caused due to their mistake on a policy issue.  I couldn't even get them to recognize and credit a $1.00 error so I am leaving for another sight!  Finally have 5 calls and 2 hours on the phone I was able to get my $1.00 credited but they were totally unwilling to provide any type of goodwill or accountability whatsoever.  In fact, the CS rep when pressed to answer my question as to what accountability Ebay has to it's Sellers, she told me that there was competitition and that is how I could voice my dissatisfaction and hold them accountable.  Well, guess what, I am following their advice.  SEE YA LATER EBAY !!!  After 13 years and over $100K in commissions paid out!!!  GOOD RIDDANCE!!

I was beginning to wonder if I was crazy or the only one that has come to hate eBay. I've never bought or sold a lot, but most every experience has been painful at best.

My original reason for visiting this discussion board was because I Googled "eBay Alternatives" Interesting that it took me to a discussion by pissed off eBayers on their own web site.

I've hope all of you find a better place to sell, because I won't be buying or selling on eBay anymore. I'm sick to death of these greedy worthless slobs.

Just got my account frozen for no reason, I am a 100% comments 780 sales seller. This is my personal account, I sell toys and diecast airplanes on, they linked it to an account from where I work, which I truly have nothing to do with, except that I work for this company and they have me log in an answer questions for them. Its not my account, I have nothing to do with it's issues, but Ebay suspends my account due to some issue with there account. How can this be legal or at the very least how does Ebay benefit from hurting me? I count on these sales for daily income. I called Ebay and talked to 5 or 6 reps after getting disconnected 2 times, telling the story over and over again, only to be told they cant do anything and the person I need to talk to can only be reached via Email. I am not a fan nor hater of Ebay. I think the Fees are too high and they way they only look out for buyers and not sellers is incorrect. Its still the best way to sell collectibles and toys. I sell 75 to 150 dollars a day and can not go even a few days before I have income problems, they dont care, my personal account has zero issues, yet they wont help me restore it. Any ideas by anyone ?  Godzilla

Over 1500 positive feedbacks and because of a couple of

people gave me one or two stars in the communication field

I have been permantly banned from selling. Over 99 percent positive feedback. Unbelievable. I have been with eBay since

2004. Eight years and they dump me. Tried calling a couple times and just got foreigners saying there is nothing they can do.

Ebay will slowly lose business if they dont fix customer service

Please someone, start another Auction Website!

Has anyone given thought that eBay is making their books look good with tons of $$$ generated in order to sell? What they are doing to sellers is robbery. It goes way past greed. Something is going on.

Read a good eCommerce Bytes article about the Paypal holds not being legal in many states and how sellers can contact their state regulators to get your funds freed up...
