At least the GTC threads have displaced the "my stuff isn't selling" topics....

Haven't seen the aggrieved eBay posters attacking eBay for throttling in a while.....

6 of one, half dozen of the other.

We always get a "break" from slow sales posts when a new update rolls out LOL

Ebay just has to many problems. One day this "noise" will be gone and then you really better start worrying. 

Its blows my mind that a company like Ebay, with so many invested in their success, fails to even acknowledge the people that make the site go round.

They literally have thousands of minds in the trenches everyday voicing concerns and feedback and its like talking to a wall.

It has been, and will be Ebays greatest downfall and eventually will lead to a defunct company.

Most businesses would kill for the feedback Ebay gets. Ebay dismisses it as "noise". When Ebay goes belly up, which will be sooner than most think, not a single soul will be mourning, in fact I think alot will be celebrating. You can't treat your customers like **bleep** for decades and expect them to care.

It wasn't always this way. 1998-2008 was a blast, eBay had "pinks" (as blues were called then) all over these Boards and they were experts in the board topics they monitored, and bent over backwards to help.

(Please note that this wasn't said to disparage today's "blues" at all... the eBay of today is totally different than it was then.)

eBay DID care what users thought back then, and they were continually doing whatever they could to act on suggestions to help sellers sell and buyers buy. It was a real give- and- take atmosphere.

Meg at least had sense enough to stay out of the way of growth and development- and grow/ develop eBay surely did.

Then we got Donahoe, who was in love with the idea of "disruptive innovation", yet didn't understand the concept at all as it seems he *thought* that Disruptive Innovation meant that one should "innovate" in such a way as to disrupt one's own business... 

eBay has been a Peter Principle corporation ever since.

Maybe they switched to auctions are are having sales.

My sales are DEAD!  If it wasn't' for the GTC Posts on the Selling board, I would have nothing to do.

Just to harsh your mellow:)

So really, it is just a matter of priorities at this time, with GTC taking precedence.

At my seller level GTC is not a big issue for me. I can deal with it.

Not that it matters, but for the most part the IT coding has spared me so far. Only 1 of 19 listings since 3-18 is GTC.

Forced "new shipping label experience" is more of a thorn in my side.

Your comment made me laugh, but this really isn't funny.

I did a FULL STOP on eBay after 9 years of very frequent buying and ~ 1000 items purchased.  GTC is just the tip of the melting iceberg.

Please listen to your Customers eBay! 

Stop the forced GTC, Fix the Technical Issues, and Treat Customers like your friends .... not your enemies.
