disgusted with eBay

[Anonymous]

After 22 years, I am thru with eBay.. cwopsam

It just keeps getting worse with  Ebay making more money grabs and a total disregard for their Sellers.  I have sales all the time, and defy anyone to figure out whether I get paid for all of them or not.  It's a nightmare.

[clothescloseouts4u]

I've been here 20 years,too.  When you can't figure out whether you are getting credit for your sales or not, it is beyond being frustrated.  Just doesn't seem like the sales equal what I should be getting paid to my bank.  And one day payout is a joke.  There is NO one day payout to my bank.  5 days is more like it, if I am lucky.  Ebay just sucks now.

How do I just close out all my ebay account?  I've redone my managed payments over and over so many times, you can't CALL ebay anymore, I've spent 2 hours trying to get my money and NOTHING and NO HELP!!  I'd like to still BUY on ebay but if I can't get paid, why bother?  I'm not selling for FUN, I need the income!!

[clothescloseouts4u]

Exactly!!!  I know Ebay wants to make money, but they have majorly screwed over the Sellers in doing it.  I would defy a certified accountant to figure out whether or not I am getting credit for all my sales.  Just doesn't add up, to me. I used to have access to money all the time thru Paypal.  I am starting to wonder why I am bothering to sell here after 20 years.  I mean, c'mon.....  I am here to make money not wonder if I am getting credit for my sales and WHEN I am going to get credit for my sales....

Who said we were surprised???  We were FORCED into this nightmare.

"..made over $8,000...".  WOW!  What an interesting method of accounting. LOL

'Catering' is one thing.  eBay has crossed into a**kissing. 

[shaky_bird]

True enough... and sadly so.

Ebay never said 'one day payout'.. it's 'Daily Payouts', not 'Same Day') .. So if you sold $200 a day, by about day 5, you would get $200 deposited, then $200 the next day (from 5 days previous) then $200 the next day (from 5 days previous). So, 'daily deposits' is accurate.

Keeping track is a daily task, but rather simple. On the 'payments' tab, they show you (examples)

(paraphrasing- they don't show items in bold/italics- but I did for clarity). 

The items sold that say 'completed' are the ones that were pooled together for a deposit. Usually the 'same day' sold items will deposit same day. The 'next' day sold items will deposit the following day etc. 

Deposit $350 

9/26 Sale $69 pending

9/26 Sale $25 pending

9/25 Sale $50 paid

9/25 Sale $125 paid

9/25 Sale $175 paid

So agree.  i used to enjoy ebay but not now.

Ebay has all ways sided with the buyers. To dumb to realize without sellers there is no Ebay. All their changes have only hurt sellers. Been with them 20 years. Looking elsewhere.

[muskingum_relics]

too long !! plus what is the great ebays excuse for no payments on weekends and holidays ????

[mrdutch1001]

eBay is what it is; NOT what it was, adapt, adjust and carry on OR let it go and MOVE ON like some of the rest of us have done...

There IS life after eBay!!!

I've been using eBay as a buyer pretty much since day one. It's like life in general. Most sellers are conscientious, some are not. It always hurts to be scammed, cheated, robbed. I have shifted almost all of my buying to Amazon for the protections which have never failed, and even to the Walmart website where, again, excellent resolution with conscientious reps obtains. eBay, on the other hand, is impersonal and cold to the point of being inhuman and leaves you with a "tough luck" conclusion too often. It happened to me again and that's why I'm here reading this. I'm disgusted with it. I will continue to look at eBay only when I need a rare or hard to find item that isn't available elsewhere. Otherwise, I and most other people will go where humans offer fair resolutions to issues. If and when I see eBay fail, it won't mean a thing.

Six weeks in, the OP still is not gone and is listing new items, with 402 items sold in the past 90 days.

Just sayin...
