• Stronger marketplace protection: Also starting this month for the small group of sellers who repeatedly violate important eBay policies like completing transactions outside of eBay checkout, their active listings will be suppressed from search and browse results in line with selling restrictions.

I think this is fair enough for those who do it. My fear is that it isn't going to be adequately managed and some unlucky ones are gong to get the boot.

That's what it looks like to me...it clearly states "starting in early September, Good ‘Til Cancelled listings will not automatically renew."

Which begs the question WHY on God's green earth they've FORCED new sellers dumped into the new Quick Listing Tool to be able to ONLY use GTC (and it states they will automatically renew until sold or cancelled) as FP duration.

Any blue care to comment on that?

[papermoneyforme]

Because they don't expect new sellers to be able to figure out that if you list another 50 items and the first GTC listings renew, Ebay will make more on fees from unsuspecting new sellers.

OR once again the right hand doesn't know what the left has done.

Um, no, you locked your post. We had to start this other thread here because of that.

Anyway, as I was about to say in reply to another comment here: that feedback mini-flamewar actually occurred fifteen years ago now, when we were all much younger.  I wouldn't pay much attention to it here in 2017.

PLUS you can only "comment" or "share" a comment on the actual Blog. No way to respond to what someone else has said.

But we could give them lots of "thumbs up" and maybe they would pay attention?

Don't you mean "maybe they will have the sellers pay [ for the ] attention"? Ebay isn't going to pay anything if they don't  have to ....

And wouldn't it be nice if he actually came back to his own blog to respond to some of the questions from the sellers that he's so anxious to tell the wonderful and exciting news to?

Bob's Blog

sounds like Bob's Burgers.

A cartoon about a fictional business.

[critter_mama_2007]

I have ipr on all the dvd media that I sell. But when I sell in collectables I want to allow people time to pay. That gives them time to come back and look at all my listings to see if they want anything else that I have that they can add to their order and save on postage. The term "collectable" implies multiple items owned/purchased by one buyer/individual to be in a collection of multiple items. Let's let the sellers decide what items need ipr and what do not. Collectors need time to contemplate their purchases.

You did check his feedback, yes?

Then I am at a loss as to why he thinks some of these changes are good.

---

Selling on ebay isn't a major part of his 'budget'.

It is a 'necessary evil' of his job.
