Small Listngs Seller

What is ebay doing for the small listing seller. It seems everything is being done for the stores and Top Rated Sellers.

Re: Small Listngs Seller

By discouraging TRS status, eBay actually levels the playing field. Everybody gets to be a "small seller" with equal search placement, no being upstaged by a TRS. Well, except for Chinese sellers and big box stores, but those are easily identified and ignored by buyers.

Bottom line: No real incentive to be a TRS, so why bother? Just waddle along with the rest of us or leave.

Re: Small Listngs Seller

Ebay doesn't give a **bleep** about the small sellers auctioning collectibles anymore. They think they are Amazon and only want new or very hight ticket stuff. I've been a seller for 18 years on ebay and a TRS for many years. I will either stop selling on ebay May 1 or at the very least probably sacrifice my TRS so I no longer have to deal with their Bull **bleep**!  Ship small cheap items without tracking in a first class envelope and save big on every one + the customer saves the extra postage. USPS generally does a very good job for me. I'm getting very tired working for ebay for peanuts when many items bring little profit to start with! Too much time invested in making listings. Ebays stock has been down recently so guess who's going to make up the loss. Look in the mirror to see him or her. They know they have us by the throat and DON'T GIVE A **bleep**! We'll so much for my ruined day.

Dont worry they are trying to eliminate the Top sellers anyway.  They are doing nothing for small sellers.  The respect level is zero from ebay for sellers.  It is all about corporate greed.

Re: Small Listngs Seller

I don't see anything that hurts auction or small sellers any more than anyone else.

 

I also don't see Ebay stock price being down. It was around $27 at the split and right now is sitting at $33 something. Doesn't look down to me.
