"Why are you posting that here? This is eBay. And yes, that sites boards are nothing but complaints.
The theory is the extra money will bring in more buyers. Unlikely, but no one gets a vote.
All you acheived by posting this here was zero."
mczombies says to divwido:
WRONG. What you posted, your so-called response, achieved zero. Instead of giving a valid argument, or even a decent rebuttal to the OP's post, you instead chose to question his right to enlighten, and spread some (well appreciated, by the way) knowledge.
Also--everyone gets a vote. Even though they may be ignored and derided by lemmings like you--they still have a voice. However, no one is the judge or jury on what is relevant to SOME here. So if you don't appreciate what is shared, then don't respond--or give an educated argument--but to simply TRY and dismiss someone--no, you don't have that right.
To add--I also find fault with your theory--that the extra money (I assume you are talking about extra fee money?) will bring in more buyers. How in the world did you make that connection? The extra fee money--is simply a fleece of the sellers--and, the fact that OTHER platforms are starting to try and join in the greed-fest--is evidence that the continual disrespect of American sellers, won't be stopping anytime soon, seeing as how well it is working for them.
Sellers need to stand up and fight here--SERIOUSLY. If we all refused to list new items for just ONE day--they would sit up and take notice immediately. People need to realize the power they genuinely have here--and not give in and give up like you--divwido.
Also, as the OP pointed out--the money must be being mis-handled somewhat, because seriously--how much is enough? Keep in mind, that quite possibly MANY of us will be paying upwards of 20% in FEES here shortly--and that doesn't even take into consideration what in the heck will happen when eBay becomes our PAYMENT provider.
No--you couldn't be more blind and misled. And if you are thinking that you are going to get some special breaks for sticking up for eBay here on the forums--well, good luck with that. Personally, I would rather die off here than compromise my principles. But that's just me.....and quite a few others...the ones who are sick and tired of being raped and robbed by these greedy corporations. With their golden parachutes, and their short-term coffer filler ideas. Meanwhile, running all of us around like rats through a maze just to try and keep our heads above water. Anyone who supports these latest Summer updates is a fool, and sure to go down with the sinking ship too--singing praises all the way--but still drowning with everyone else.
THANK YOU KINDLY!!
Now this is the perfect example of someone who gets it!
This is more about the monster trying to bite off more than they can chew.
If everyone else wants to refuse to listen because they are 'successful' enough, then I respect that.
If you have a problem with what you read and feel the need to comment, then I will kindly ask that you hash it out with each other respectfully.
(Although, I know who the main audience is here, so I know what to expect)
But soon enough there won't be complaints about no sales, they will change to prices are too high.
The idea that we will crouch in a corner to get beaten for bread crumbs is very insulting.
I am surprised to see that the frustration is taken out more on each other than the source.
Why is it okay for ebay and etsy to take a stand against taxes, and not okay to acknowledge the lack of appreciation for us?
To me the end result to this question is the same.
Higher prices!
I guess that idea is okay with the rest of you.
