Ebay is now headed for probably the final or at least a significantly lesser chapter of it's rocky history.
Since the arrival of acting ceo john j.donahoe ebay has gone through a rapid decline having sold out the small sellers who were the quintessential backbone of what ebay was built on,To corporate sellers........
One problem now that ebay has succeeded in driving away small sellers by the thousands,Is that eventually the corporate sellers that invaded ebay will start waking up and realize that they are stuck with their own ebay inventory and will say"Why are we paying all this money to ebay? We are not getting any business"
The fatal flaw that ebay overlooked during the betrayal process is that about 70% of the people selling unique,unusual,and one of a kind things,Were also the ones that were buying it.
No one wants to buy shit that they can buy at walmart,or down the street from their own house on ebay.
The only people that are making out are the rogue buyers that ebay essentially created buy PROMOTING BUYER COMPLAINTS. Rogue buyers are a new breed of extortionists that take a seller hostage by claiming something is wrong with an item when there really isn't.
Or they will switch an item and send you back a rock.....Ebay and paypal are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
They have found that there is more money in the interest that they accrue off buyer complaints than ebay makes. As a seller,You cannot leave a negative feedback to warn others about your shitty experience with a bad buyer. ACCORDING TO EBAY-YOU HAVE TO LEAVE A GOOD FEEDBACK,OR NOTHING AT ALL.........
Here's another revolting policy......Say you decided this morning that you"Want to start selling on ebay" You have a cellar,or house full of great stuff and you need some cash.
You put your cool stuff up,It sells and you get paid!!! WOW! That was easy huh! Not so fast..
I got paid....But.....Uhm...Where's my money?? Ebay & Paypal now hold your money until your buyer leaves you a POSITIVE Feedback...Which means they can take their sweet ass time to leave it,or not at all....YOUR MONEY Can be detained for 30 days.....Any interest for you?
NO!
Ebay is also going to be making you charge sales tax and will passing out 1099 forms this year.
So? What's left? Where'd all the fun go?? Yep,It's gone.
And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR THE MONOCHROMATIC MEG WHITMAN Unless you want to be over lorded .She is a significant part of why ebay is finished,And numerous jobs relating to the business have been lost.
She lost a BILLION Dollars on bad business deals and shrugged it off!!
She has no experience in politics,and doesn't vote.
Ebay's phone staff is now in india. No more U.S.Staffing.....Funny huh?
