I have an idea!

*A little humor can go a long way when trying to digest the unethical practices here on the Bay!

Sorry, but I don't get the joke. I'm in Tennessee and I pay sales tax on shipping on all online shopping sites. 🙄

Happy Holidays!

I hope you didn't spend too much time on this project.

So funny I forgot to laugh.

A lot of people, with kind words, will be responding to this.  Waving their pompoms while wearing sweaters that have a big 'e' on the chest & little skirts.  😛  Just cancelled my store & soon, buyers won't be able to find anything to buy from me for Christmas.  There goes the 3-4 sales I would get during December.  😞  lol

It was probably a wise financial move to cancel a store when one has fewer items listed. I don’t have a store snd just use the 250 free listings available to me each month.

Sorry times have been tough. Understand that you have to do what’s best for your current needs.

As for the rest, I do wonder the purpose of sarcastically slamming those members whose views may differ from one’s own. 

[sakic92710]

My sarcasm is not regarding those who have different views.  It is for those who come into the community & ridicule sellers who are having a difficult time making ends meet & want eBay to be a better site so they can make the most of it.

[soh.maryl]

Sorry--don't understand your message at all.  But please do not feel you have to explain.

No one does.  

[soh.maryl]

Must have missed something --have not seen anyone ridiculing sellers who are having a hard time of it.

Happy Holidays !

On Ebay what's not to love ?

[sakic92710]

I see it constantly.  Even see posts created that just mock people's complaints about dismal sales.

[soh.maryl]

No, I've not.  When sellers complain about "dismal sales" it seems like most responders try to explain, the current economy being one possible reason, but quite often those who are complaining refuse to accept any suggestions.  Not long ago, a seller who was obviously drop shipping complained and when it was explained to him that there were hundreds, if not thousands, selling the exact same things on eBay, he/she refused to believe that could possibly be the reason.

For myself, I have pretty much given up answering those messages because the posters want some kind of an answer that I cannot in all honesty give.

Hmmm...thats the first time I've ever heard this place referred to as the "Bay" 

Which one? Guantánamo? Michael? A Window? Sick?

[chapeau-noir]

@sakic92710  You post weekly, sometimes daily, with the same complaint. There's really nothing anyone else can say that hasn't been said. My sales dumped and I changed my line-up and looked at pricing - not sure what anyone else is going to tell you. It would be great if there was some magic secret, but the only 'magic' around here seems to be in the CEO's mind.
