A little background, again, sorry to be redundant, but:
I've been a member in good standing since 1999. I have sold tens of thousands of items for hundreds of thousands of dollars, all with 100% positive feedback, for a variety of "customers".
My customers are people who I sell their items for, generally on a commission basis - I don't make any money unless I am selling for a profit.
My customers are also the buyers and I do bend over backwards to provide them with quality products packaged professionally and delivered in a timely manner.
I have also trained more than a few individuals on how to buy and sell on eBay, I feel that I have done my part to promote eBay.
In the past few years, eBay has let me down, specifically by making the software less intuitive as well as making it harder for me to do business.
The items I sell are generally not commodities, and I liked the items ending at 30 days as that allowed me time to research the pricing as well as the viability of the item in general.
This recent change to GTC is hurting me, to the point of considering taking a break from eBay and looking for other avenues to market the items I prefer to sell.
It's a crying shame what is happening to eBay. It seems to be in the name of short term profits over long term relationships.
I wish eBay would consider creating a "eBay lite" version, a simple, easy and intuitive auction site. Bring back the fun, bring back the profits to the sellers, take away the stress created with the bureaucratic nightmare eBay has become.
Does any of this make any sense or am I just out of touch with reality?
