Well FeEbay it's not been fun!

Beating a dead horse here i know.........The fees are outrageous, Insertion fee, final sale fees, below standard fess, final shipping fee...I've had enough. I sell at conventions so once in a while an item gets sold there and it take me a day or two to catch up here. I make it up to EVERY single customer that I have had to cancel an order on and as you can see from my feedback it's 100%. If the customer is satisfied then FeEbay should be too. Insertion and final fee I get, final shipping fee is **bleep** and this below standard fee is over the edge. Banging me over the head for cancelled orders is ridiculous.

 

So I will get my affairs in order and will move on to another platform. Im not looking for advice or justification for ebay, Honestly (and I apologize) but I don't care. Good luck to those staying I wish you much success!

Take the listings that you're taking to the con with you down before you go.  Problem solved.

Re: Well FeEbay it's not been fun!

There are user ids that are grandfathered in but they’re from 2001 or before I believe. Clarification the ID needs to have the url in the name prior to 2001. You can’t just switch over an old ID now.

 

It’s like having illegal links to your website in your listings. It takes buyers off eBay and is not fair to other sellers who follow the rules.

Not really, I take everything. Usually the day after the con and when everything is settled i remove the listings but a few times things get sold on ebay while im at the con. Alot of times i catch the item and put it aside but some slip through and they feel the need to charge me an extra 5% for that so no thanks!

I've been selling on here for about 17 years. I ended all my stuff yesterday not that there was much left I've been dwindling down for a while now.  But I get married I'm two and a half months so clearing out.  All going to yard sale tomorrow

Do you not have access to your phone or a laptop? I sell on multiple sites and do some dropshipping.  Where I do understand, a few times I have not caught every out of stock item in time.  I will try and update daily and when I sell something on one site I will immediately go to the other and remove it. Even if I'm not home I use my phone to do so.

I was responding to this comment;

 

"Oh I know their happy, I send them free stuff, discount codes and twice Ive bought the item somewhere else and didnt charge them, so im good. That little inconvenience and they made out like bandit."

Re: Well FeEbay it's not been fun!

Im a bit surprised at your very high shipping.  Most of your items are small enough to go first class for HALF what you are charging.

Me too - I sell across four sites and constantly juggle sold against listed.  Its just what you gotta do.

Why not fix this problem by putting your store on vacation while you are busy conning. Soon as you get home remove all your con sales from eBay.

You're lucky they haven't made you change your user id too. It's a violation.

 


Depends on how old the ID is. Some were grandfathered in.

I posted before I saw your post. (and I didn't look to see the age of the ID)
