Okay. Bye!

Actually the reality is that when we check back some time later we will find that you are still here.

^^^^^^^^   a lot of people myself included complain about what we do not like about ebay but the reason we do not leave is ebay is where the buyers are.

don't forget to take down your 118 ebay listings

He now has 155 items listed.  He must have added some.   More listings for him to remove.

People come in here to complain. It's all talk.

All marketplaces have something that you have to adhere to.

I wish you well.

If you are not happy here, then by all means find another selling venue. 

Just curious, though, why you want to "start a list" of those who will be joining you in leaving.  If you aren't happy, why does it make any difference whether someone else leaves or not?  Other sellers have no bearing on your sales or your feelings about eBay.  The only "list" I've ever seen on here that has any relevance is the Secret Santa List at Christmas time.  

I hope you understand that any other venue you choose to sell on will also have problems; maybe not the same problems but new or different ones.  And you won't have the worldwide exposure that you have on here.

Definitely not. I didn’t see any in their listings, but I didn’t check many.

It's hard to make any headway sometimes. We try and try, and we're not going anywhere.

Not speaking for @biggymoe here, but there's a bit of a difference between "not going anywhere" and "not getting anywhere," and I'm thinking he means the former where you mean the latter...

You either spend a fortune on ads or drive traffic some other way. If you were the largest and best supplier of Kei truck parts then you could probably succeed with your own site with minimal ads. However your product range is exceptionally small for that sort of thing and best suited for ebay.

Ah, that makes sense. Still violates the rules, but I don’t know that eBay’s AI can scan images for that type of violation yet so it’s less likely to be caught.

So it’s alright just to keep ordering parts until you get the one you need??  I sell parts also buy parts for my truck and farm equipment on eBay!  I make sure I order what I need!  I’ve seen a few people over the years wanting to return because they don’t do the work prior to ordering!  
If I don’t know about the part ask for fitment prior to purchase not after!  With that being said, if my returns now go way up, I’ll leave eBay!  Especially since my prices for parts almost always beat all others prices here!

I've been selling on eBay for over 3 years. Changed to free returns when I qualified for Top Rated Seller. My sales jumped over 30% in the first month. My total transaction return rate from day 1 is less than 1%. I've never had a return on an item/order over $50. 

I understand scammers are a problem in general. But I've only had a handful in my time here. I wonder if there are things I'm doing different or if I'm just lucky..? Cuz I really don't think offering free returns is as big of a deal as some are making it out to be.
