eBay, you have continuously made favorable changes for the buyer, not the seller. WE SUPPORT YOU, we pay your salaries. The buyer is not always right, buyers are abusing your system, and we the dmall guys have to pay big # for it.

I have had it with the 1 Day shipping!!! I am spending most of my time trying to ship out in 1 day that I am not having time to list items. My sales and listings are down, I have bent over backwards to try to ship out in 1 day, and now they take away the 20% discount because buyer want you to wait to ship or bidding on more than 1 item you wait to ship together and I get this?? I told eBay they can keep their 20% discount, I will go back to shipping 2 times a week and 5 day return policy. If a buyer cant tell within a few days the item is not as decribed there is something wrong. I live in a rual area and do not have postal service close by and going to the post office every day is just not an option anymore, and to have FedEx come by every day cost me to much. Buyer just look at sellers feedback before buying anyway, not is you are a top rated seller.

If the President of Ebay is not careful, he/she will wind up like JC Penny Co. President.  He went in and made a lot of changes, business dropped drastically, and now he is looking for a job.  My main concern is satisfying the customer, and doing a good job, but that is not good enough, They cannot sell if they have no sellers.  Amazon says Ebay sellers are coming to them in groves.  I am actively looking for other avenues to sell my products and if they work out, I will be doing a lot less on Ebay. But guess that willmake them happy.  Would be interested in knowing how many traders are shorting this stock for their next quarter.

I was a TRS, currently a Silver Powerseller. I have lost my 20% by choice for i hand write my labels and do not receive the free delevery conformation. My choice, much less of a carbon foot print. A pen last several months compaired to $50 for printer ink/refill. It appears now i will lose my Powerseller badge according the post, that is fine!

the 20% lost, i save on printer ink, paper, and my personal freedom to work when it suits me. One of the main reasons i started selling on Ebay. The freedom it allowed me.

I decided my personal freedom/time is more important than jumping through the ever changing Ebay hoops, just not worth it. I am still 100% feedback and still offer great service. I rely on my repeat buyers.

I agree with ALL above as well.  In addition, here are my grievances.

eBay is in essense telling me to be available FULL TIME, when this is only a part time job for me right now.  I am working HARD to make it full time, but this new 1-day shipping knocks me down.  I now have to be available to ship within 24 hours, 1-day handling.  That in and of itself wouldn't be too big of an issue, if in fact it wasn't brought to light that this is 24 hours AFTER THE BUYER PAYS!!!  So say I have 50 auctions ending on Sunday, 10 of which the buyer pays immediately, 10 pay on Mon, 8 pay on Tues, 5 pay on Wed and so on.  eBay is now telling us part-time sellers that we MUST be available now according to WHENEVER the buyer choses to pay, in order to receive Top-Rated seller status and an additional discount.  This has DESTROYED my business, I have lost my top-rated icon, and I'm feeling it.  I will soon be researching more on the advantages of selling on Amazon.

Here are my suggestions to eBay (which I emailed them):

1.)  Get rid of the required 1-day shipping altogether.  Listen to your sellers, this is not helpful to us.  My feedback was perfect and my DSR was 4.9 in shipping time.  You tried to fix what wasn't broke and now I'M suffering!

2.)  Keep the 1-day handling, but only require it for buyers who pay WITHIN 24 hours.  If you're going to hold us to 24 hour standard, hold the buyer to it as well.  This is now the buyer's advantage and motive for immediate payment.  You tell them when they purchase, "You have 1 week to pay (or whatever), but this seller ships within 24 hours IF payment is received within 24 hours".

3.)  Reduce the 90% auction requirement to 80% or lower.  90% is too high, especially for part-time sellers, which brings me to:

4.)  Allow sellers the option to select whether they are part-time or not.  IF they are full time, then demand this requirement of them but give them a higher discount.

5.)  Before enacting ANY policy, see individual seller's performance.  How would this benefit them?  How can we (eBay) make sure we are doing all we can to keep OUR customers (sellers)?  I have amazing listings, perfect pictures, low shipping, and always pay my fees on time.  I MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD SMOKIN HOT EBAY!!!  As I said, for me you tried to fix what wasn't broke...but dangit, it's broke now!

6.)  As always, lower the fees.  These little piddly "free-listing" fees are rediculous and unhelpful.  Lower the over-all final value percentages in all categories and paypal fees.  Make it more attractive for sellers to do what they love...sell.

Over all, I prefer #1...which is why it's listed first.

I have already told my supplier not to purchase on account of me right now.  I will evaluate on the 20th (my next top-rated seller evaluation) and determine IF I will be even selling on eBay any more.  In the meantime, Amazon is looking promising and I'll continue to research that possibility.

This change really stinks. I feel as if I'm being punished with the 1 day requirement.  As much as I try, there are some days I cannot meet the 1 day nrequirement. I am a Cancer patient and have been undergoing doctors treatment/surgery in the past 18 mos, and at one point unable to get out of bed for 3 mos. BUT, I did get my Ebay orders out, usually within 2-3 days. When I have a good day, it's one day turn around... Basically I guess we get punished when we take a day off or go on a vacation or wind up in the hospital  Ebay is really starting to suck!

Ebay supervisors are totally useless, and provide no help with all their system problems. I have now waited 3 week for a call back from a Supervisior, and suppose I will never hear back. It appears all help is in Asia...

Ebay thinks of their own pockets and could care less about their sellers.. Amazon is starting to look more and more appealing!

I had the same results with ebay.  My problem that I was also dealing with dropshippers who represented part of my business and they controlled the shipping which was definitely not one day service.
