    Was i denied from being able to sell live?
                             

    I remember reading that live is till in beta but it seems like more people are selling on here than on what not., youtube, facebook. was i denied cause i took two months off social media after my mother passed? If i could vet people to be able to sell live I would look ar Most made in 90 days and imaging what could happen when you didn't have to wait for an auction to finish or someone to buy the item instantly. I just recently started using line internet again within the past week and I was excited the ebay live could potentially really come in handy god forbid i were to fall into money issue like i currently am and i don't know if it'll be fixed or even taken care of as a grading company ruined am card ment for an emergency mortgage @ebayliveauctions@ebay.com  I attempted to use youtube but even though i have either 2 or 3 things currently in my store with the ability to take my  sales ad personality live I think I could make my 90 day max within 2 weeks. I have never had a bad review in fact the most recent one was from a refund I allowed because while i wasn't on ebay it still never made it for some reason. and i give you guys full permission to check what i asked him and how i took care if it myself because whether something happened to the label or it just got lost I inquired about his favorite NFL team and I didnt even count how many cards I sent. I just wanted him to trust me as a seller hopefully do business again. But now that your allowing people to basically turn this site into whatnot I would like the opportunity to make the same sales and same money as fast as the many you've allowed. You guys gave me something to help with bills while my mom was stuck in a hospital bed. Which I really appreciated but it still came down to my store. about me. shipping costs and no I feel held back and I see what happens on whatnot and oi do not want to sell there. I answered the questions on thursday and was told every time i looked yesterday it said I would know by today if i would be allowed to sell live by today. Is the lack of an answer a no? Well goodness cant even get a question to ebay about it. interesting as I am not really confident this will be answered in a public forum.as  I can only imagine the similar questions i'm sorry I read the bold black letters that said NEW MESSAGE and was hoping I would actually hear from one of the people who insures it runs as smooth as it can. I suppose I will have to call for an actual answer but i can almost guarantee customer service what ever number I attempt to not talk to them as I have no current issues with buyers or sellers. I just am extremely curious if i have been denied and if there's anything i can do to help make changes so this doesnt become what not that is a very dangerous app for teenagers and parents who trust their kids to make smart decisions Besides trying to build a fake social experience on Facebook, or X, I mean I feel like if anything my idea  would be simply charging small amounts of made sales like has been done before give sellers a small questions to ask see how different people would find the best way it worked for them  would have worked and at the end of their 7 days any person who bought from that seller was given a survey. with out a username attached so they would hopefully be honest about how well or not it worked. If they ever felt uncomfortable or in danger and finally if they purchased something did it arrive in a timely manner and worked how they were told it would. Or was it weird ordering it right in front of them and every other person in that live sale. I had taken all my cards out assuming I would have been able to sell live all day. I was excited to meet new people. enjoy conversations and hopefully be able to sell them a card of a player they really wanted.  I sense some one is going to read this. disagree and attempt to validate what they feel should happen. that's why each show would be different and the moment something can be clipped from any show that is inappropriate they lose the ability until an apology is accepted. but also being a live show with adults talking and making deals I don't believe you can rule out the occasional foul language but its all about how and what words were used. maybe tomorrow Ill be able to try it cause i tried youtube and my goodness i offered a buy one card get one free and no one came. I have a sinking feeling ill be using whatnot ny Monday and that's actually upsetting I feel like im not being offered similar opportunities because I don't care who follows ke I care about being a humble helpful person to someone who needs it. I can already see ebay is aiming to become whatnot 2.0 and as old as this site is that's verity sad but I wish the Live shows the best of luck and thy go as long as possible before you have to deal with charge backs, uncomfortable situations and im honestly trying to warn the people in change of this experiment that people will be doxxed and swatted because like whatnot buyers will learn to push buttons and sellers will learn the stress is unnecessary. For some reason you saw an opportunity to make more money and letting buyers run the live shows not the sellers. This will be an interesting forte back to one of the worst sites on the internet. and you're trying to win = some kind of race against them it seems. If i had someone on here to bet against looking at today being the 16th if people haven't been Doxed, taken advantage of by someone not paying and Swatting is happening through the whole month of october. I hope Im wrong but you see it every day in schools, on social media platforms, twitch, and that's not who you guys are. Ive said all i can and i cant wait to be tortured by the pre teens kids  parents give them internet and enough money to act like they belong there. I may still want to sell certain more expensive older or rarer cards on here. But i still believe youre opening pandoras box considering how much or a respected buying and selling Website you always were. I am actually curious if a new employee who doesnt belong in their position made this happen even id they faced backlash from within. And if it end up anywhere close to as bad as whatnot The television and news websites will not be any kind of forgiving. I'm sorry this decision was made to this site. I hope the best possible out comes keep the bad in the dark. Best of luck thinking it wont turn into whatnot. I just cant see it not happening. If it happens to turn anything like whatnot I'm going to begin preparing a good sign on for news channels to use for the story.

    I hope im 100% wrong and you can let me attempt a live show and if i fail miserably what not it is. But i've seen sellers un happy with their sales and they begin to crash out and threaten not only to end their stream but without a refund as they will delete the account attached to their show but be back the next day ready to repeat the process I used to use it to buy shoes and honestly being a seller sounds like it wouldn't be a smidgen of fun reading the chat who tell you what to sell, that they will pay, and once its over you're just losing money every item,they do it so they get deals. I saw it before and Sports cards are going the same rout sneakers did after the pandemic. Online business isn't a fun palace when the sellers and buyers can push the others buttons. i've caught scams and proudly been blocked from the scammers i caught.

    Sorry its so long and I don't usually write anymore so separating paragraphs, ideas, run on sentences my apologies hence why i work behind a forklift and not a computer but ebay used to be the site to find an item, you wanted to buy. I hate to admit it but i watched a handful of creators on whatnot because it was always guaranteed aggravation. some one would ask for a certain item to be "run" usually jewelry, clothing, shoes and the worst was the easiest scam to notice which was mystery boxes. Its like what they say about a few bad apples can spoil a whole bunch. I haven't used the app in years but i would join a stream with constant giveaways in a room with good hosts funny people and brand new shoes, if someone said the wrong thing in the buyer to seller chat it wouldn't take and more then 3 minutes before they were blocked and laugh about. mo one would ever get away with being rude to someone else in the chat or someone who raided the streams when theres was over. I used to just watch the funny things that would happen but for a great community like that there's about 20 where its just people trying to get one over on the seller usually. Just figured it would be wort reading ev en though i know it isn't easy to follow my words and ideas. Which is why i'm hoping there's some big differences between what nit and ebay because i'm fine with being attacked online. I welcome it if someone is mad and yelling at me helps i don't mind in the slightest but i've heard some terrible things on whatnot like if a cop heard you say it in person to someone you're at least getting cuffed. I hope there's a secret idea or plan up yalls sleeve. ill keep an eye open cause i would much rather sell here. as far as my memory goes back ebay was the original

    There are probably people here who sincerely would like to help you, but are put off by the giant wall of text in your 1st post and a pretty long, unbroken slab of test in your 2nd post.

    Can you think about this awhile, and then perhaps return and condense the information into a few paragraphs?  We don't really need extraneous details that don't pertain to your actual problem.

    ". . . secret idea or plan up yalls sleeve"?  

    Did you know that you're not addressing eBay or its management when you post here?

    These Boards are made up of fellow eBayers, buyers and sellers, who volunteer here to help others if/when we can.  None of us have anything at all up our sleeves, except possibly a few arms.
