Selling with ebay is so difficult

I cant believe how its hard to sell something with ebay, fees, account suspension if you dont pay the fees and a lot of rules, the seller platform always change if you use phone /pc/tablet

 

No simple way with ebay. Im so tired last time they close  my store a few days because i had to '' update account''.

 

SO i have removed all my stuff... goodbye ebay i will try amazon, a lot of people said '' its more friendly user''

I think the seller oppinion is not important here, maybe they will suprise me with a sanction or more fees. Adios

There are a lot of rules in life.  Running an online business double the number of rules.  Getting married quadruples the rules in evil ways.

Let us know how Amazon works out. I didn't think fees were optional there, or that if you owe them money they let it slide. But I could be wrong.

If you think EBay is tough, wait until you try and stiff Amazon.

I actually think he was the guy who came after Rutherford Hayes.

Wait until the day comes when your account is suspended due to an algorithm and they ignore all documents you submit. 

 

>10 year account, sold legitimate items, 100% positive feedback, 0% transaction defect rate, not a dropshipper. Permanently suspended last month, only reason I can think of is that I had a good month of sales which is somehow "suspicious" on a platform for selling.

Re: Selling with ebay is so difficult

Are you kidding??  Selling on eBay is so easy!  I've had an entire 8 sales in the last 6 days; including a whopping 0 today!  Well worth the effort.  At this rate, after 1  whole month,  I can take home less than $1000!

Why did he go after Hayes? Was it a blood feud?

I think it was the beard - reminded him too much of Duck Dynasty.

What you can expect are the ebay sycophants chastising you with their smart remarks for going against their idol.

Well, it doesn't say you are NARU on this account. But I can say that looking at your selling history that eBay considers it suspicious when a long-time buying account suddenly begins to sell really pricey items. It could indicate a hacker highjacked the account. Were you able to verify the legitimacy of your goods? I see you said they ignored your documentation.

It's a job.

Most jobs require attention to detail.

With eBay those details include shipping promptly, paying fees, and making sure your listings are attractive and accurate.
