.....and posting to this thread does absodoinkinlutely nothing ~ diddly squat ~ nada ~ zero and bubkis about changing any of those things ~ and if posting to this thread does make anyone feel better, then that is one of the reasons that nothing changes because these posts are nothing but gripes and are not read by any eBay employees.
If you have a legitimate problem with a legitimate solution, you should post it to the eBay for Facebook page, eBay Twitter, eBay for Business or the Weekly Chat with eBay Staff.

Yup, eBay has problems ~ no one is denying that, but to continually complain about it does nothing to fix those problems ~ as another seller said, not accepting the realities of selling here does nothing to change the realities of selling here.
You use a venue while it meets your needs in a cost effective manner, if and when it doesn't, you move on.

rktoy... you know, full well, that the magic rabbit story is true. Everyone, young at heart, knows that the special
painted Easter eggs hatch out Magic Rabbits that bring toys to children. Software Developers should try to look
at the world through the eyes of a child... no telling where a great idea can come from...
wishing you a very happy belated Easter.

Yes, yes, they're always looking into problems and open to suggestions. Same problems year after year, no progress made on any of them, but they're listening and working, honest! It's wonderful that you believe that, just as sure as my cousins believe a magic rabbit delivered them toys last weekend.

So ... have you ever hidden an "Easter Egg" in your software?

I am only posting here to vent. I don't expect any action of any kind from ebay. My opinion is that it is definitely not worth trying to sell anything on ebay any more. The buyer is given complete control over the transaction and can return items and request refunds for any reason what-so-ever. I have been a long time user and peruser of ebay and when my current listings are resolved in what-ever manner I am through with ebay forever.
Of course, I understand that ebay could care less what one user thinks. I do feel a bit better getting it off my chest, though.

Not worth it in my opinion. Up until recently, paypal was basically free to use, and there were no associated fees. I just sold a laptop for $466. For a college student like me and many people struggling in this world, we need every cent possible. Usually, when we end up selling on Ebay, we're already getting a very basic/slim profit margin as it is. SO, I ensured the laptop and required a signature (because I've been scammed by someone who didn't "recieve their package" before, and ended up losing $650 over that little incident. BTW- Ebay does NOTHING to protect the seller. They will only believe the buyer.) So, after losing that much money, I didn't want to take any chances on this laptop. Overall, the shipping at UPS to ensure it for $400, get it signed, and to actually pay to ship was close to $50. Then, Ebay will charge me a $46.60 "final value fee" AKA a hefty commission. THEN, on top of that? Paypal wants its cut. $14 is what paypal charged me. Ridiculous. With all of the fees alone, Ebay and Paypal put me out $66. That's not even counting the $50 it cost to ship the item. Honestly, many people have quit selling on Ebay due to the fact that buyers have complete power and control and the sellers are basically screwed by fees.
