Cancled my store sub

[ag47silver-us]

• Buyer always lying on return reason. No recourse.
• Sales slow. But feedback always says they love and prices amazing?
• $15 > items won't sell quickly and profit margin has become minimal.
• Was sourcing items on eBay but sick of seller's lies about authenticity.
• Categories not enforced well enough, too much mixing can't find ANYTHING.
• Promoting items to be seen when i pay for them to be seen? OVER 20% AD RATE?!?!??!?!?!
• Hide cross promotions of multi-quantity discounts and such to very bottom of page, never utilized by buyers even when buying multiple items because they never saw.
• TSR+ benefits became economically unviable with free returns requirement
• Store traffic extremely slow, maybe 0.5% of all sales were from the store page
• eBay improvments regressive to use (searchs, shipping page, promotions pages, seller hub) all pathetic vacuous wastes of our fees.  Looks like embezzlement there's so many glitches.

USPS cannot provide even the basic services to ship like picking up from a mail box, delivery to home, or even being open til 5... they also lie consistantly and their service is very inconsistent, makes it too hard to ship everyday. Going to try other venues and never pay to list items on eBay ever again.

Listings never show up. I added 3 listings TWO (2) DAYS AGO and here I sit, still NOT seeing them in my store nor in searches and NONE of them has ANY clicks at all, DESPITE USING THE ADVERTISING features (sponsored links) which came with the store.

Do you see them as active listings in your Seller Hub?

This is disheartening. Especially after how eBay likes to treat a new customer. Heck, they suspended my account and delisted all of my items a week into this mess (I've been here a couple months now) of a system, robbed me of 4 reviews for it and held my money for over a week.

Ebay would not have done that if your listings weren't breaching some rule we have to abide by.  For them to suspend your account, it had to be a serious violation.  As for holding your money, that is a normal procedure for Ebay to do on ALL new sellers.  It is a good policy and helps to protect you and the buyers you serve.  Before this policy, sellers could come here, sell a bunch of stuff, collect payments, never ship, remove their money from PP, close their PP account and then their Ebay account.  And they made off with everyone's money.  Now that is extremely difficult to pull off.

New customers are treated like criminals off the bat. They want you to verify everything and even though I did, they still suspended me and forced a phone call. Something NEVER pointed out to me during the sign-up process.

There are rules here.  If you want to sell here you have to abide by them.  I'm sorry your start was so rocky.  If you'd like, if you would be more specific about what occured, some of us here may be able to help you or shed some light on why Ebay did what they did.

NEVER GAVE ME BACK MY REVIEWS / FEEDBACK, EITHER!

Reviews and FB are two different things.  I'm not sure why they removed your FB, you'd have to give more details.

My advice : find another service to sell on until eBay can stop pretending everyone is a criminal if they don't already have Golden Boy Awesomeness Bestest Ever seller status.

I understand that you are frustrated.  It may be possible for you to feel better about this if we could show you why Ebay did what they did.  But we can only do that if you share more details.  If you are considering selling on other sites.  They too have rules that you have to abide by.  You aren't going to be able to do whatever you want on any site.

Some of us are new to this, eBay. Get your act together.

Unless you share more details it is hard to say who needs to get their act together.

All you do is shill. Sorry, but nothing you said has any bearing. Especially since I've got the emails from ebay admitting fault on their end.

But thank you for playing. You do not, however, win the kewpie doll.

[99everything99]

I'll never sell here again either, or buy, by closing my account that saves me future hassles, I can just have a friend buy something if I really need it that bad, scam artists everywhere, and they are so good at it, they will lie and lie and lie. Keep saying they will send item back, and never do, they play the game, and hope you will go away. They get their money back, and get to keep the item. Thank god we have small claims court, this guy ripped me off $300, he better hope the judge likes con artists, or he will be so surprised. Suing on principle, alone, buyer thinks I'll eat the $300 and just go away, he is sadly mistaken when the sheriff shows up at his place of employment with a subpoena.

I'm a "shill" because I asked  you some question that apparently you don't want to answer??

We really need a Blocked Sellers List for entitled sellers who don't think the rules of the road apply to them.

EBay-  You get reduced fees for this subscription.

Entitled Seller- All my listings will be FREE GRATIS FOR NOTHING and I will get a boost in Search and a pony!

EBay- No. You get reduced fees.

Entitled Seller- You charged me for that Store Subcription! How dare you!! And none of the dropshipped stuff I listed sold. It's your fault!!!@!

EBay- Yes there is a monthly subcription fee for a Store.

Entitled Seller- I'm reporting this to the Attorney General! And my lawyer will be on your doorstep tomorrow!!!!!

EBay.- You haven't paid your subscription, you left negative feedback for your few buyers, you refused to refund when unhappy buyers returned products, and you have been selling counterfeit goods. We are closing your account.

NARU seller-- How dare you charge me for the subscription I signed up for! Those buyers were scamers and deserved to be sworn at!! It's my money nobody can have it back!! Everyone switched goods on me! It's not a counterfeit it's a real Channel! We need a class action suit! And I never got my pony!

I do not experience any of those issues with the USPS.  You need to talk to your local postmaster or else you will continue to experience these problems no matter what venue you choose to sell on.

So you will have to choose another carrier if you plan to sell in the future.  Most sellers rely on USPS with few problems.

I am thinking of doing the same, why pay for a store when I can simply forfeit listing a few items and get my ~100 or so for free and done. That's how I used to do things before I thought I was going to get rich, I simply listed my free item limit and never paid unless something sold.

Now it's fees, fees, and more fees.

Why?

There are other benefits to having a store that goes beyond the amount of listings you get for free.  Are you saying none of the other benefits do you any good?

[premium-audio-tubes]

So what are the benifits of having a store?Markdown Manager?Mine does noy list the items I choose,

Default setting for example -add me to your favorites/Mine does not exist

Click here to go to my store-Again non existant

[premium-audio-tubes]

IGNORANCE IS BLISS KNOWLEDGE IS WEALTH

IF THE STORE FUNCIONED CORRECTLY YES A NONUS BUT IN ITS PRESENT STATE.NOT A CHANCE,

[coolections]

Since you said you cancelled your store subscription I assumed you meant you stop selling. You have plenty of items for sale. How does cancelling a store subscription make it better for the reasons you listed about buyers.

[tunicaslot]

You've just insulted a very repected poster who was trying to help you. I know you're frustrated but settle down and listen to what others are saying.

I set my promotion rate at 1% - and I get lots of sales by doing so - I don't have to use the trending % or above. I sell on other venues - they all have rules and the sellers are griping about this or that on all of them - so just switching venues won't alleviate your problems - they may be different - but they are still there and affect the sellers who use the venue. Plus changing venues won't alleviate your problem with the PO - that's a whole separate entity and one that Ebay can't be blamed for.

Since it seems you make alot of your items - take out words like Excellent blue color in your titles and substitute "handmade in the USA"  Buyers are looking for items that are handmade and not mass produced by the overseas markets. Since the Chinese sellers put 925 Sterling Siler in all their titles - real or not - buyers would be more likely to open your listings and purchaseif it had handmade in the title. Think how a buyer would search. If I'm sick of all the overseas junk I have to wade thru - I'm going to search for handmade turqoise ring  filtering to US - so I can find an artisan who makes the real deal.

You're too confused so nm. From you're responses it seems like an algorithm answered. You're repeating eBay policy'es that I must inherently know in order to make my specific complaints, you couldn't have possible comprehended what i was saying to suggest some of those things.

Mam98031 isn't the one who is confused, IMO.  She is VERY knowledgeable and has spent a lot of time in this thread trying to help you.

You ignored the fact there are no partial refunds in my category. Then again.

Other sellers can have "fun" instead of value with there metric junk for $22/month all they want. Very good to know!

Automatically implies ignorance when stating "you just need to learn ........"

so if you don't understand how logic and rhetoric work why are you trying to help with ebay stores? NO ANSWER REQUESTED

There metric junk?  Mam understands a lot about how eBay stores work. 

This is very good to know: 

There is an adverb. 

 1) in, at, or to that place or position.

"we went on to Paris and stayed there eleven days"

2) it is used in attracting someone's attention or calling attention to someone or something.   "hello there!"

3) it is used to focus attention on something and express satisfaction or annoyance at it.  "there, I told you she wouldn't mind.”

4) it is used to comfort someone.

"there, there, you must take all of this philosophically"

You meant THEIR, but still, their metric junk?   What makes you think other eBay sellers are selling metric junk?
