Shipping Differences, Parcel Carriers & THE ONGOING FIASCO
Sellers & Buyers have noticed "changes" in fees & policies.
I have noticed these price change increases on shipping as well & those are the fault of the business practices of parcel entities like UPS & FedEx.
During "covid"; BOTH buyers & sellers were experiencing unjust restrictions & unstable price changes for the whole of 2020.
Parcel carriers & even eBay MADE OUT BIGTIME & sellers LOST OUT BIGTIME.
Buyers CONSTANTLY received smashed parcels (I know from experience of "total loss" in the THOUSANDS of Dollars) yet the excuse was:
"It's because covid".😡
NONSENSE!
I lost revenue, lost product, lost business & had to close down my "sister-account" (millioncardkid) because business became unmanageable.
I'm sure alot of us had issues.
I had NEVER received restitution (despite paying services with wild price fluctuating issues); I just received excuses.
We ALL did.
HOWEVER:
(& an issue either NOT addressed...OR swept under the rug & any inquiries eliminated)
These shipping OVERAGES & the "buyer paid" vs. "seller label created" differences is another issue entirely.
The seller doesn't get the difference in total sales amount; eBay KEEPS IT somehow.
Where does the difference go?
It may be the equivalent of "paltry pocket change", but sellers never see it.
Mind you; sellers have ALREADY paid FVF's & taxes on any sale BEFORE this issue arises.
It isn't like we small-time traders & merchants (some with more sales volume than others) on eBay have suffered enough at the greedy hands of big businesses already, right?🤔
This is an overlooked OR purposely ignored & possibly covered-up issue that needs to be entirely addressed in a business ethics manner.
Insight, Input & Ideas on how to handle these issues are appreciated...from active eBay members & (if possible) eBay themselves.
ThanksðŸ™
