Ebay is so Generous at this critical time - NOT.

[drews-books]

Wow!  Ebay gave us 50,00 Free listings it use in just over a month.  So how would a single bookseller use even a 10th of that and if I forget to end them in 30 days they will automatically re-list and I get a huge bill.  So generous.

I've been a book-seller for over 25 years on Ebay and help build it.  They also offer to defer 50% of payments for 30 days - how about cancelling all those stupid Promo Ad and Shipping Fee & other charges Ebay keeps adding.  Help us sellers by dropping Ebay charges at this time and help us old-timers rewarding us by the years as sellers not $$$$.  There will be other future sites to sell on and We Will Remember.

Deferred fee payment? Yeah, they gave me that offer, I accepted, and they still debited my bank account for $451.00 this afternoon. Not sure what that offer was worth. Maybe a little PR?

I thought you had to request to have it deferred?  I may have misunderstood the announcement.  Below is a link to the announcement and yes, it says you have to REQUEST to take advantage of the deferral.

Love the message boards. People complain about no free listings then complain about getting free listings. Ebay is not responsible for your memory to end them or relist them, that is on you.

"Accepted" Requested" What are you, the semantics police? Regardless, they sent me a notice saying "eBay Fee Deferral Program Current Status: Approved", and then debited my bank account anyway.

Here are the details:

The deferral applies to the April 1st + May 1st billings or the April 15th + May 15th billings.

It does not apply to March 1st or March 15th billing dates.

No but the way you stated it some may have been confused by it and cause them to not handle it in the way Ebay requires it.  It is a process.  My comments were not meant to upset you or annoy you, but to clarify the process.
