Why Does eBay Insist on Complicating Things

[rebell45]

Why was it necessary to add a new printer setup dialog box to the packing slip and label printing process. Now I have to click on another link to get to the system printer setup options. Tried using their settings and wasted a label cause it took my 99% scaling and printed it at about 9%. Wish they would quit trying to "improve" things that are working just fine.

They are making changes, what makes you think they are trying to make improvements ?

It is called job justification. If you don't keep messing with stuff then the boss doesn't think you are working and will let you go. I used to work with a person who constantly had her desk covered with files and stacks of papers ... only problem was she never did any work but when the department head walked by it looked like she was so busy that she needed an assistant.

I kept having problems with printing and getting a blank page.  So I download into Adobe Acrobat and print from there.  Since I've been saving my labels anyway it wasn't too much of an inconvenience.

That one would really have a problem if she had to participate in a productivity study.

I did just sold an Item, where's my money? on Hold for 15 to 30 days. So far it appears that I will only get 200$ , The Item was sold for $220 plus $15 shipping.  Printing label from ebay is not my thing, I charge $15 and I go directly to the post office to mail the item. I later update the tracking. Using ebay mailling double the price for buyer, I don't want that.  Plus it's way too complicated to figure out, there's another site to setup logistic, nothing is simple.

I have to cover the fee for shipping tomorrow, That 15$ - 20$. The price for shipping Ebay already pocketed it, but I will have to pay this tomorrow . So in reality my transaction when they unlock my fund, will be worth 180$, Ebay gets 35$ [$20 fees, I guess +$15 Shipping]. Or I will have to reach them to get my 15$ shipping cost refunded.

Contacting seller after the transaction was impossible, deemed as fraudulent communication.  I just wanted to say thanks for his purchase and that will update the tracking tomorrow after I ship the item.

If I need explaining for how thing are working now and that I just can't get it, it's because Ebay complicate things.  I been on eBay for 20years, in the beginning eBay was awesome. Today it's a sad state of affair.
