EBay has given me below standard rating, even though I have been a seller for 12 years and have 100% positive feedback. The negatives were a couple of cancellations and giving refunds that I did not understand would negatively impact me. I am such a small seller that I probably cannot bring my rating up anytime soon.
It is ironic that eBay will punish you by making it harder to sell and get your rating back up.
My buyers who filed cases (one broke her item and decided to file item not as described) and another's did not fit so filed a case (item not as described) even though the item was exactly as described. Me not knowing just offered her a full refund rather than fight and was penalized for it.
It is clear that eBay has no loyalty whatsoever and cannot decide on a case by case basis when a seller does not deserve this rating.
I am putting all of my vintage items on Etsy and all of my books on Amazon and will be looking into Tradesy, Bonanza etc for the rest. Sellers, don't put all your eggs in one basket because eBay will not support you even though you are supporting this billion dollar enterprise.
There are tons of videos online of people who have migrated to Amazon. They are crushing the resale market, especially in books, videos and games, dvd, cd, etc.
