Store subscription

[brucechilds05]

I signed up for a monthly store subscription, when I tried to cancel, it had been changed to yearly subscription with an early termination fee.  Ebay is crooked. They throttle sales to keep a big seller base, but also to protect corner stores. What a farse. I am canceling in a couple of days and will eat the early termination fee, but also I will file a claim with my state attorney general and the FTC.  Considering that the Feds are after these big outfits, this could be interesting.

Did you follow  the proper procedure to  close a store subscription as  outlined  in this  link??  https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/ebay-stores/close-ebay-store?id=4091&st=12&pos=3&query=Close%20an%...

If  so, simply call eBay customer service for resolution.

Some how your state attorney general probably won't get to your claims for eons or your claims will find the round file posthaste.  They, the AGs, like to deal with solid  facts vs conjecture.  Some how I believe each eBay policy, procedure, UA, etc are  carefully  reviewed by eBay's legal team before being  implemented.  That  is the way it was when I was  working in my 41+  year career.

Normally I am not negative, but when I get cheated and lied to, things happen. You probably work for ebay anyway. lol

Funny how you end your post with staying away from negative people after your original reply was negative. Can you say hypocrite. Tell me what policy covers them changing my subscription to yearly. If you need a bunch lawyers to cover your policies, something is amiss.

Well Johnj, I took a look at your profile. Over 6900 posts since 2010, that's is well over 2 a day, including weekends. You must think this is facebook or you work for ebay.

I thought all subscriptions were for a year with the only difference being whether you pay month to month or all at one time (yearly) which is cheaper.  You can't tell from the sign up what you are signing up for.  Is this what happened that the month to month is actual a yearly subscription with the option to pay monthly?

Sorry  wrong on both assumptions.  BUMMER.

Fact:  Retired in '07 from  a 41  year career of  selling industrial material handling equipment primarily forklift trucks.  If you would look real close at when I send  the majority  of posts are a.  real early in the morning  say 4 or 5 AM some times  sooner., b.) a few around lunch time and c.)  some around 7-8 PM ET or EDT.

You might  want  to hire  this  guy to  do your GEE2 work.

My advice  to you was simple:  "If so, simply call eBay customer service for resolution."  See my  previous  post.

Oh I do not associate  with  people that always look at their shoes laces or toe nails or shoe shine.

[johnrj1226]

Wrong here too!

Don't listen to shills like johnrj1226... Go for it!  I have fought against big banks and town halls in my past... and won!

@busterbgood  No, Subscriptions are either Month to Month (and you can cancel, upgrade or downgrade at any time without penalty) OR a yearly Subscription at a reduced rate ... I understand @brucechilds05 's complaint and don't blame them for being irritated about getting put on a yearly subscription when they signed up for the month to month version of a store.
