Re: bye bye ebay DISCOUNT and top rated power seller Feb 29, 2012 2:10 PM
I could not agree with you more. I am very angry with these impossible new policies. National retailers don't even offer what this new policy is requiring of us, singular sellers. Why? Because it's damned near impossible and costly. Nothing about this new policy is making sense...nothing. 1 day handling, 14 day money back return...who does that? If I ordered something from a national retailer and needed 1 day handling, I, the buyer, would have to pay through the nose. 14 day, cash refund, is begging to be abused in every way shape and form.
Clothing ( or any item)? Wear it or use it, state it's not what it was supposed to be and send it back, all on the seller's dime. Without an Ebay rep sitting by my side, they certainly can't make a determination if my listing was appropriate; thus, they'll put a little check by the buyer's name to watch them for further abuse (I assume). Meanwhile, I've lost not only money, but quite possibly a perfectly good item. Clothing or anything else, the principle is the same. This is clearly B.S.!!!
It is my opinion Ebay is imposing the latest policies to make it as near impossible to gain any reduction in our fees. Clearly greed has once again reared it's ugly head. I am so very curious as to who the hell thought this was a good idea.
For once, I would love for Ebay to take the side of the sellers, who are the reason they make so much money to begin with. Sellers can't leave negative feedback, yet we are subjected to it, along with the very unfair DSR ratings. I'm so sick of getting the short end of the stick and working my butt off for a company that clearly takes us for granted.
Ebay can have my 20% and choke on it! Next thing I expect is some equally ridiculous PayPal policy so that that can suck what little life is left in us. Wait, what am I thinking? That happened a couple of years ago when buyers were forced to pay electronically and sellers were prohibited from accepting money orders or cash, insuring Ebay/PayPal would get yet another chunk of our measley change.
What a crooked operation! Too bad I depend on the scraps I get from them.
ALL SELLERS - Best of luck to you! I know you work hard and get very little in return. Should any of you retain your TRS status, my hat's off to you. You deserve more than the 20 - 25% reduction in fees. BEST TO ALL OF YOU!
