PANDEMIC what will EBAY do? other companies are working with the people who make them possible

[thevintagedesigner1]

Ebay must do something to support its sellers----drop all listing and monthly store fees during pandemic--or be called out for doing nothing when it is over---this is the time for business to pay back

[smager2007]

I totally agree with you, thank you for messaging this

[whitewolf2258]

Yes, ebay should be doing something to help out the sellers. Although I'd bet ebay will do nothing, just like they doing nothing about sellers who are price gouging on needed supplies. Since when does toilet paper go for $40 for 4 rolls?

Also would suggest they suspend ebay managed payments - as this is a time sellers will need immediate access to their funds.

They are staying up and running-that helps sellers

eBay is removing those type items, but it is a slow process. You can report them
Use report listing link in listing-All listings have a "Report Item" link.
On a desktop/laptop this link can be found directly above the description on the right
On mobile, the button is "Report this Item", scroll down past "About the seller"
Select the following Menu options:
1.Prohibited And Restricted Items
2.Illegal Items and items encouraging illegal activity
3.Other Illegal activity concerns

Or Select:
1. Listing practices
2. Search and browse manipulation
3. Other search and browse manipulation
4. "Continue" to open Comment box. Enter Price Gouging for Coronavirus, COVID-19 supplies.

report items is a joke feature ! in my category that i list in there are hundreds everyday selling fraudulent items and i know for a fact hundreds of reports have been made and nothing is ever done .

[muskingum_relics]

managed payments is a thing that should be done away with altogether anyway and now certainly is not the time to tie up sellers money ! But I betcha they do not care ! But when it is time for their fees you can bank on the fact they will get their money !

[muskingum_relics]

I agree and made a similar post earlier and so far most of my replies have been mostly negative from the ebay supporting peanut gallery.  They should be more in support of the seller which is the reason they make the money they make. Good post !!!

I made the same suggestion about 3 days ago and have not heard a word from EBay about it. I believe that if they suspend store fees they will save hundreds of sellers who will stay with them if they don't hundreds may be forced to close or reduce their store size. They spend of a little of their profit now and make more later when they have saved us. Thank you and keep the great thinking and stay safe.

Totally Agreed that be Wonderful. What are the doing for Us Seller!

[aura*gaia]

if they don't help us sellers out, i may close my store. they will leave me no other choice!

Since we don't work for Ebay, don't think they'll do much.

They need those fee's to pay their employees and keep the site running so we can continue to sell.

sell what? toilet paper for $10.00 a roll wow If they do nothing we long term sellers would have to close and they will have to lay off anyway or close because there are no sellers.

It's not eBay listing toilet paper....it's SELLERS!

If sellers want eBay to work with them maybe sellers should stop doing all the stupid stuff that they do and follow the rules instead of helping to drag down eBay's reputation.

I think now would be a good time for sellers to look at what they are selling.

If you're not selling anything, sell items people need and not just want.

With people staying in, there are items we can sell to help the ones that can't get out and I'm not talking about selling TP for $20 a roll.

Think about what older buyers could use now and go from there.
