Why is ebay so dumb?

Sure they have made billions great but their numbers are declining bcoz of the way they treat sellers. I've Been a top-rated seller all year. I paid $60k in fees to ebay, 5k per month the past 12 months while they do nothing but slap me with a zillion new rules and discipline anything they can do to squeeze more money out of us. Without the sellers they have nothing.. period. No merch, no buyers no money.. so in what friggin universe do these jerks think that sellers work for them? My merch, I do all the work and they treat us like we have to pay them to be treated like we work for them when there is a lot of other competition out there now and platforms like Amazon that don't treat sellers like slaves. Ebay recently issued a statement that any sellers who were affected by the winter storms resulting in late shipments and defects would not have to worry and that the defects would be removed. I've sent in disputes due to the winter storms. I don't sell 1 or 2 a day I sell 30 or more so when the post office was closed during the ice storms here and the roads were closed i couldn't ship anything. I called in spoke to a supervisor bcoz my shipping on time rating has dropped to 94% which drops my top rated status to above average seller status. Well ebay has not responded to my requests to have defects removed bcoz of that storm and during Christmas when usps was backed up as well as I had missed a few days from being sick. They want to threaten my account over crap that was beyond my control demanding medical bills to prove i was sick. **bleep** THATS AGAINST THE LAW HIPAA complaint here I come !!! I have almost 6000 items listed and all sales have stopped. I'm so sick of this platform making money by basically charging a **bleep** mortgage payment on a mansion just to put up with their crappy customer service, ripping off sellers by allowing buyers to scam us and swap old broken used product with our new products, always siding with buyers and never listening to anything we have to say. You can say goodbye to my 60k a year it may not seem like much but if you treat us all the same and you **bleep** off 100 of us that 600k a year in revenue lost.. keep sending your sellers to Amazon I'm sure Jeff Bezos appreciates it. 👍🏽

Oh my heavens, thank you for this reply. Someone takes the time to post a 500 word rant, but can's spell out the word "because." How weird.
