There are some people who work with this platform that are quite unethical. and unprofessional. Just because I want a better eBay, they misconstrue the values of my observations and my renderings on this forum. In this Social Media age, where many organizations are consolidating on their reliable customers and fighting for new customers, some unethical people on this platform undermine the efforts of sellers on this platform, they have forgotten that sellers bring food to the table for eBay. No matter how small you think a seller is on this platform, that seller bring food to the table for eBay. It is a clear lack of appreciation when you start fiddling with my account/ reviews because I called you out. If I don't sell, I will call you out because I know how much effort I put into what I do on this platform. If you tax me too much, I will call you out. We are all supposed to be making money here, if money is good for eBay, money is good for me too. eBay declares Billions of Dollars every year, but you are not ashamed that a fulltime seller on your platform had never declared up to minimum wage from sales here since several years he started to sell on eBay. Before you undermine my efforts on this platform, remember I pay $60 subscription every month; if you multiply $60 by about 5million similar subscribed sellers, that is about $300M Subscription we collectively pay you every month.

I have no idea what this post means or to whom you are speaking - but your reply to the ''neutral'' feedback left is borderline slanderous. Take care

Before then (from the 1970s) there was washable Ultra-suede, which in fact cost more than the real thing.
Oh, gosh, I remember when our Director got an Ultra-Suede dress and we were all so envious of her!
Circa 1975.
She was very fashionable, from Montreal and had been on the staff of Chatelaine (the French language version of the still popular magazine distributed across Canada).
As I recall, she told us the price, which was more than I took home in a week as an IS2, which was a reasonably well paid position.

It was snappy stuff, and could be formed into garments that had the lightness and malleability of fabric but with the texture and depth of suede - one of the great formulations that bubbled up during those heady days of the 60s and early 70s when we had Dacron, Orlon and noisy multicolored acetate with dagger collars. Only the Ultra-Suede was way, way more chic because it was too expensive to blow off on disco shirts.

Ebay has every right to shut down a seller they believe is some kind of security risk to the site. It is their site, not the sellers.

You have a neutral Feedback on your account that your response to is rather curious. It really doesn't make you look good to prospective buyers. Ebay didn't post that, the buyer of the item did. I know from your post you feel Ebay is messing with you as you stated "It is a clear lack of appreciation when you start fiddling with my account/ reviews because I called you out." Ebay doesn't "fiddle" with our FB in the way you are saying they are. You simply had a buyer that was not satisfied with what they received.
" If you tax me too much, I will call you out." Ebay doesn't "tax" sellers.
You may want to consider dropping to a Basic Store and save some money monthly. You should look at the benefits and consider it for when your store subscription renewal time comes around again. Just something to consider to save yourself some money.

All internet forums and platforms are compromised at this point. Very little organic activity to be found anywhere. Deception is everywhere.

That feedback reply makes you sound like a conspiracy theorist and I would likely take my business elsewhere if I read it.

I don't think eBay is terribly scared about you "calling them out".
We are all supposed to be making money here
We all want to. But to do that, a seller must offer items that are in demand at a price they are willing to pay on an account that inspires a purchase. Many sellers do not.
but you are not ashamed that a fulltime seller on your platform had never declared up to minimum wage from sales here
eBay is not responsible for sellers with a failing business model. If failing sellers continue to choose to give eBay money, they will not turn it down.
Before you undermine my efforts on this platform, remember I pay $60 subscription every month
I think they are aware that you still pay them money despite your lack of success.

In your first message, you implied, somewhat obliquely, that some of us are eBay employees, undercover as it were. Yes, very rarely eBay employees do post here, usually in response to an issue, but they are clearly identified as such.

I think the OP implied that eBay has employees who read this board and retaliate against people who "call them out" by fiddling with their "accounts/reviews".

Keep your hate energy, you shot yourself on the foot, I hate eBay but I have over 800 listings.

Once anyone has preconceived thoughts that person will start over thinking and over worrying over what the person cannot understand

Prove that this is happening in the Ebay Community please.

Your analogy could have filled the Vessel if it was flowing from a wide funnel, The funnel you use in your analysis is quite narrow that is why I heard a drop of water from the cacophony of your typewriter,

Perhaps the OP was using the word "tax" as a synonym for the word "stress".
Otherwise, I find his messages here to be a little strange, especially the fact that he hates eBay, but has 800 listings.
