eBay owns nothing. No inventory, no shipping method, not much of anything but a so called "venue". Yet they want to dictate and micro manage EVERY aspect of sales. They act like it is THEIR merchandise, time, packing, shipping and money at stake.
My question I WHY do people put up with it? There are other sites out there to sell on that don't make you jump through the endless hoops. If people would just dump eBay, what could eBay do? They would dry up, that's what. The 800 lb. Gorilla would be turned into an anorexic chimp in no time if sellers would abandon the bully eBay has become.
