I'VE SOLD FOR 5 YEARS AND MY LAST YEAR HAS BEEN DIFFERENT. ANY OTHERS FEEL UNAPPRECIATED?

WHO DOEES EBAY WANT AS SELLERS?
IMHO they want sellers who

have items that are in demand
have items that are not being sold by other sellers
do not generate returns or SNADs or INRs
ship quickly
do not cost them money in customer support
Add: Generate the most fees. They don't even much care how. They're helping USA sellers by dropping them to standard or below.

Sellers who don't have the difficulties that put them at standard or below or who don't list in such a way as to run into *problems* with their buyers in the numbers that would drop them down to standard or below... won't face this. I don't. None of my Real Life personal friends who sell here have been dropped down to standard or below.

The truth of it is, while some sellers DO have problems in the numbers that will hurt their accounts and run into difficulties in their business dealings here, tons don't. Ebay doesn't just arbitrarily *drop* sellers down to standard and below.

Sure they do- when they change a policy to a new defect and then make it retroactive. How many times have we seen this?

Or how about when THEY relist a sold item resulting in an OOS defect, or in some cases a duplicate item strike?

How about when an item gets pulled and you do your due diligence, tell an eBay CSR and they agree and TELL YOU TO RELIST IT, then *BOOM*?

CSR tells the seller GO AHEAD AND ESCALATE THAT CASE ... *BOOM*- resolved without seller resolution strike.

Need I go on?

Chaos is NOT an "industry standard".

I sell to recoup the money I spent on items plus a bit more money.

Appreciation never even comes into play. No one needs to appreciate me on eBay-just give me my money.

Good Moms let you lick the Beaters.

Great Moms turn them off first.

I'm saying if you take someone to small claims court over an Ebay sale the court will treat the parties as merchant and customer. It's not a change to their legal status according to the Ebay User Agreement, but it is incorporated in the way Ebay treats both parties.

Buyers may have to request cancellations from sellers but they can also do a chargeback through their credit cards and be completely covered. In reality sellers are on shaky ground when they refuse a cancellation or return.

If you want proof that the peer to peer sale is no longer the model, all you have to do is look at feedback.

Ebay is a second market 3P seller Site ! The Buyer and Merchant protection federal and state statues give second market 3P sellers a lot more ground on returns and buyers remorse and no return policy's . Buyers don't have absolutes right to returns and money back under federal and state buyer and merchant statues . The retail industry findly admitted they can't give or offer liberal return policy's any longer ! After they have and are doing 16.9 billion dollars year lost to buyer fraud . Ebay does not have the sellers be they large named brand down to small that can lose 1 Billion dolars a year to buyer fraud.

Right!feedback is smoke and Mirrors! I say to if go to ebay UA Purchase section they still claim just venue a hosting site for the sellers ;"Peer to Peer" Since they state very clear the items are the sellers and that said sellers can setup how they want to transfer owner ship over to buyer ! Be payment or after they are declaired winner . They Have the Ca. and Ut. contract laws ! Meaning no way they ebay is in No Partner ship with seller . Ebay's claim ; Controled market site is **bleep** , Smoke and mirror's
