Exactly. Somebody stiffed me on a recent auction and there's no recourse. I don't feel like there's any protection for sellers, ebay isn't doing anything except providing a place to sell and they continually come up with insane policies that make no sense.

HELLO EVERYONE, YESTERDAY I VENTED MY ANGER OVER THESE NEW CHANGES, IT FEELS LIKE BEATING A DEAD HORSE THOUGH! THEREFORE TODAY I THOUGHT I WOULD OFFER SOMETHING I FOUND, A SELLING VENUE CALLED; ADDOWAY.COM, THIS IS A VENUE THAT NOT ONLY TREATS THEIR SELLERS WITH RESPECT, THEY WELCOME SUGGESTIONS, THE CHANGES THEY MAKE ARE TO BENEFIT THE SELLER WHICH WILL BENEFIT OUR VALUED BUYERS AS WELL.

IT'S FREE TO SIGN UP, LIST, SELL AND THEY HAVE AN EBAY IMPORTER TOOL AS WELL AS BULK EDIT.A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE SO FAR, GIVE THEM A TRY AND TELL THEM; victoriandesires SENT YOU!

Best of luck to all of us sellers,

Gina

Yet another pro-buyer, make-it-harder-for-the-seller policy. New policies need to be vetted more carefully, taking into account what sellers think.

Since the institution of DSRs (Detailed Seller Ratings), it is impossible to hold buyers accountable for unfair ratings. Some new buyers, or buyers in a hurry, don't read the description and fault a buyer for delays by the post office and high U.S. postal rates. And then ebay uses these as a percentage of total sales to limit selling.

If fewer items are sold during the revolving one-year review period, these unfair ratings are given disproportional weight. This results in penalizing sellers with 100% ratings and ten-year track records.
