click one the most helpful authors !! The ones with the colorful ebay beside their names ! Then look at how many transactions and feed backs they have! 3 or less and they are telling us sellers why and how we should do things ? We the sellers are the experts not the staff so why do they not listen to our concerns. It seems they make up the rules and regulations but do not follow them because they have no selling experience. Would they wait on their money? Would they like do deal with seller hub if they were listing ? Would they want to list something with GTC ? They should give it a try before they tell us what we should like !! Right

Have you not heard of posting IDs?  Many people use posting IDs to post on these boards.  I t became necessary many years ago when trolls would attack posters and mess with their auctions because they said things that the trolls did not like.  The helpful posters know far more than you do and likely have many more transactions than you could ever hope to have.

And the people to whom you refer are not staff.  They are members just like you who volunteer their time.

then why are we not able to do that to protect ourselfs ? I used to really enjoy ebay ! it was fun and very simple and easy. Now it is a chore you often times have to brainstorm on just to keep up with many changes that make no sense to me and many of the long time sellers. I am not a rookie and have worked my rear end off maintaining a 100% positive feedback because I treat my buyers right. I just wish things on here did not have to be so complicated and to be here should involve some fun doing it. I think if a positive change was made it should not be so hard on a buyer with ratings ! Sometimes you get buyers that pay before they are done with other auctions even when you state do not pay till done and you try to be fair and combine shipping cost ! But ebay says to send the item ! If you do not which I do not ship because I think of the buyer 1st ebay rates me for not shipping on time so that keeps me from being a top rated seller ! My buyer comes first which it should but ebay spanks me for not doing what they say to do. But my buyer is happy so that is what counts to me !!  So who is wrong ??

Let me introduce you to a fun fact you may have missed:  Many eBayers have more than one ID, perhaps one for selling, one for buying and one for posting to the boards.  It's entirely legal.

"then why are we not able to do that to protect ourselves?"

Do what -- have several IDs? You can, just like many of us.

well I guess that is fine but I only need one. I am not hiding anything ! I just have honest concerns about the future of ebay ! It used to be a good place and everything was in place! I am not alone when I can clearly see right at the moment it is a big mess and I just wish it could go back a few steps to when it worked without all the confusion !

[muskingum_relics]

Thinking back when I first started I was under the belief one could only have one ID and was thought to be pretty strict about that ! I believe it was one of the prevention modes to prevent schill bidding. Least that is what I was under the impression of ! I only want and need one ID !!

They are speaking of eBay employees which have eBay by their names. They are the community team, which I find them to be very helpful.
