Perpetual posts

What's the most re-occurring topic or question post you've seen on these boards? Different sellers bringing it up at different times over and over?

I haven't seen this one mentioned,

Proof I'm being throttled! (No proof is posted)

[18704d]

I haven't read all the responses before I posted now.

Most frequent:

Why doesn't eBay take My side of the Story in this Dispute???

.. and here's proof I'm right and the buyer is wrong....

2nd:

Tell me Where to Buy Things that will Easilly Sell Here For Big Money

and Easily Make Me a Fortune.

3rd:

eBay is Too Expensive!!!!!

I buy my items for (way too much!) and then can only sell them here for

(a competive price) because eBay thinks buyers like free shipping and returns.

I can only make money if eBay pays me to list for free, and covers my overhead.

I refunded the buyer and now they won't send my thing back.

Tracking shows delivered but I didn't get my thing.

A seller was mean to me.

It has to be feedback mostly feedback first. On and On and On.

I don't know that we can interpret what sellers ask the most about here can be indicative of what the problems most sellers as a whole face on Ebay. The others have pretty much summed up what the major vents or questions are and most of these are from sellers that happen upon the boards and are neveer heard from again.

Actually you might be right. I don't always click and read those "repeated" posts. But when I do, I don't really pay attention if the OP was a one time poster and you never see them again or someone who is active within these boards. Just trying to see if I am able to solve (or solved) the common issues for myself that most sellers have as to edge out competition. 🙂

With your sales volume I don't think this board will help you to pinpoint the common issues your competitors are facing.

This board is useful for discussing policy changes, site glitches and what to do about new or unusual circumstances that arise. Those posts may include your competitors. The product catalog board would be helpful to identify some common problems if you sold in a category that was part of the catalog, but you don't. Not yet, anyway.

I think the majority of posters come here to complain because they don't understand eBay policies, they want to vent about a bad transaction, or they think eBay is hiding their listings. These are not your competitors. These are sellers that haven't yet figured out how to manage selling as a business.

The above comment by @tunicaslot is correct, that what most sellers here are asking about isn't a good reference for the information you're seeking.

How about the ones in the member to member where they think they are talking directly to ebay or their seller. 

[touchdownarkansas]

That isn't just on the Member to Member board.

General response.

Forgot this one:

THERE IS NO SELLER PROTECTION!  (not when the item is not as described)
