THE REAL REASON EBAY CANCELLED THE 30 DAY FIXED PRICE ( THE SHORT AND NOT SO SWEET OF IT ALL )

- MONEY

- BOTTOM LINE

- PROFIT'S

I wonder how share holder's will act when profit's are down and their dividend's are lower because seller are going to sell some where ells and some are going to list less because there afraid of getting hit with extra fee's.

SORRY I'M JUST TIRED OF US SMALL GUY'S AND GAL'S GETTING DUMPED ON AND IT WAS MY TURN TO  DUMP IT ON THE BIG GUY'S ( CEO of ebay )

HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND

THANK YOU

THIS GOOD UNTIL CANCELED NEW RULE IS REALLY GOING TO HURT SELLERS AND HELP EBAY. FREEDOM OF CHOICE IS THE AMERICAN WAY.

So glad someone finally got around to starting a thread about this.

I agree. No control for our listings and fees. Hard when you travel and can no longer control when your listings are live. Definitely will not list as much. Guess Facebook marketplace will get more of my business.

The unfortunate fact is ebay holds all the power and can implement any policy they desire.  Sellers don't have to sell here and need to show ebay their dissatisfaction by not selling here.  Without sellers, no buyers, no final value fees or GTC listing fees or listing fees for anything.  I wonder what a week, 2 weeks, a month with no sellers would look like on ebay's spread sheet?

Next titanic, for-profit change from eBay: sellers must accept ALL returns. 

That will be the last draw that breaks the sellers' backs...

It’s already that way. I mean we can say no returns but we all know we take returns anyway

 I think this is eBay's motive- get rid of the small sellers. 

It has worked I am gone. 

[weschurch]

he next rule is there will be a fee to cancel your item. Probably in the good ol' Ebay pipeline right about now

[flo_mingo]

I agree. We may not be able to afford to leave completely but we all could take a break the first 2 weeks of April

April fools .

Actually you still retain some control as you can cancel as needed.  If you travel, you could extend your handling time to accommodate that if you don't want to cancel.  But I understand your concern.

Anything is possible, I suppose, and that might be a way to assure compliance and generate a new revenue stream.  They have said there isn't any fees connected with this, though.

I sense the small seller on eBay is now disposable. Most categories are already oversaturated with big box US sellers and massive amounts of Chinese merchants coming here daily, we are becoming (have become?) obsolete.

I cannot search as a buyer here very effectively anymore as the Chinese merchants are swamping so many categories even when I put in US only. I'm getting tired to trying to find an item through pages and pages of China offerings.

It's not going to improve, just get more congested, then China will (or already is) start competing against themselves here and then what is going to happen to prices?

The words antique, vintage, old, mean nothing here now, those words bring up brand new merchandise.

I'm doing better on an app site now, but I see Chinese drop shippers are starting to come on that platform too. My sales on one site have already started to drop as there is a drop shipper there who is undercutting everyone. There is no way to even compete against this.

It's the way the World is going, but a lot of us are going to fall by the wayside and already are.

I'm sure all won't agree, but I personally think you hit the nail on the head.

It's all about what works for Ebay. I can understand to a certain extent being there isn't a business that doesn't care about its bottom line, but I can not understand the lack of consideration for those of us who are smaller sellers that found that other listing durations worked better for us. I understand that larger sellers may have no problem with the new GTC update. I respect their point of view, and I am actually happy for them if this is working best for them. It just seems that there isn't much understanding for those of us who this GTC doesn't work well for. After all ... We all contribute to ebay even if we are smaller. Without sellers (large or small), ebay would not exist!
