Before we begin......These people belong in jail. So you click ask the community, write your message, and nobody can reply unless they drank the kool-aid in the member to member nonsense default forum. Wow, just wow. I am going to raise my glass when you pirates end up in bankruptcy court.
Where to even begin. It depends on the minute you ask these days but I flip-flop between corporate incompetence and corporate greed as to why the eBay ship is smelling like a rotten month old dinner plate.
On one hand it could be said that their corporate greed wanted Paypal's portion of the transaction (yeah, we're talking about the managed payment insanity here). I mean "it's our platform so we should get EVERYTHING!!!" (muahahahah). That few percent was paid to Paypal because they performed a service that was second to none. They has their niche, payment processing, and eBay had it's in sales facilitation. So corporate greed must be the answer! eBay wanted that percentage so every else can just deal with it! Oh and less we forget, the Paypal fee was paid by US, not eBay! That fee wasn't expense for them, it was a pot of gold they had no right to touch.
Then you try to call them. Oh boy is that entertainment at it's finest. Life Pro Tip here: when you go through the circle of automated help keep putting in that you are a buyer. They actually let you click the "Call me back" button if they think you're a buyer. Just make sure you have speakerphone because when they finally call you back they are going to put you on hold all day for the transfer to the "selling" department. You will however finally get someone on the phone but hold your hats folks; they have no idea what is going on. The system is unusable on the agents side. They literally can't find transaction or do anything at all for you. That international fee you were incorrectly charged on a domestic transaction; nothing I can do I don't see it on my end. The transaction fee on the cancellation because the buyer was trying to change the address in a message; that's on you Bub we can't see that here. So corporate incompetence is the problem right? It's just a bunch of chicken running around without heads over there.
But the greed. The greed could be strong enough for the upper management to have sabotaged the workers so that it's impossible to get anything done.
Nah, they are probably just incompetent too..... or greedy. I mean who know really?
Customers got nothing to buy without sellers folks. If I list an item as used, taking way more pictures that necessary, show the item work, and list no returns....why in the name of everything is eBay allowing someone return something 6 weeks later???
Whatever, I digress, I'm sure that it will all come out in the court documents one day. It truly is as though these people don't realize that we no longer live a world where "you're too big to fail".
Ya'll remember Radio Shack. Back in the day they crushed in electronic supplies.... and then they got greedy. Wanted that sweet cell phone money. Forget what THEIR business was and kept trying to dip into other people's pot. Can't go to Radio Shack anymore can ya? It was a fun run.
The fun part of this is that it would have just been an email to eBay but heaven forbid they used some of that plundered gold to provide an email address. Instead it will get posted here and eventually taken down for speaking out against the all might eBay.....there is always Reddit I guess!
PS: for the staggering amount of money eBay makes every day these forums are terrible. Maybe a few tenths of that 2.5% can be used to fix this garbage.
