right let me forfeit 30,40,50k in yearly profits to avoid 1-3k in fraud.
We forfeited similar and more profit in quitting listing here due to theft and crazy fees.
Upside is I took a 25 hr a week job making near as much that includes 3 weeks paid vacation, a week in paid discretionary days, a week in paid sick days, 8 paid holidays, a 401K that matches about 85% of my 10% contribution and full coverage insurance that costs me about $50 a month.
Then there is the time and money we save in not having to create listings, not having to pack and ship, not having to deal with site problems, not having to deal with crazy or thieving buyers, and not having to pay 20% of our selling price in fees - Saving all this time and money allows us to still sell locally at better prices and keep much more of our profit to the point where we had our most profitable season ever this past Christmas. I'm thinking not many ebay sellers can say that.
Thanks ebay for not fixing anything that sucks about the site - It gave us the desire to implement our exit strategy - allowing us to escape with our sanity(whos having fun with Promoted Listings? We started ramping down as it was really ramping up).
