Hello, I am an early builder pioneer builder of ebays Fortune 500 company of 19 years. I have have impeccable positive feedback for all 19 years. I totally sympathize to all those great sellers on EBay that are treated with such disdain. In my opinion, Some how down the road the captain must have took his hands of the ships wheel , and is now crashing into the reef. It is quite apparent that EBay caters to the buyers and discriminates against there sellers. They even cater against repeat bad buyers who continue to steal our merchandise due to a broken system that allows scammers to continue to do so. It all started back once upon a time were EBay got the notion that buyers are more important then sellers. They started instituting this process when they told sellers they could no longer leave “negative merited” feedback to bad buyers, to warn other good sellers, in hopes that they would not also have to endure hardship and loss of merchandise. This was a fair and just system that held buyers and sellers accountable. And kept the claims down, and showed fairness to the seller. But, the day they EBay told buyers we can only leave positive feedback to buyers was the very very day that discrimination in this market place took place. Now some will claim that we sellers are just sub contractors. Then if this is true why do they offer seller resolution program, that I may add seldom comes true for that hard working seller who built this Fortune 500 company? Questionable? It feels like to me discrimination in the work place? Is it fair? Is it righteous? Absolutely Not! These repeat bad buyer scammers pray on this system, because they know EBay no longer cares about there sellers. Food for thought. If all sellers were to take all there inventory to Etsy and other market places. Then ebays buyers would definitely follow them. My point is EBay has forgotten about how we beginning sellers built EBay. Without any sellers and inventory. They would have never had any buyers. I personally have been scammed by a bad buyer, who continually changes accounts and does this for a living. He has a lavish house in California and one in Germany. My true story. This bad buyer receives my expensive surveillance camera system, and tells me there’s something wrong with the unit. He asks me for a partial refund. I tell him. I’m sorry I don’t give partial refunds, but I’ll be glad to give your money back after returning my item. He did not like that. This is how bad it starts to get. He sends some junk back in a two inch thin Priority A mailing box. Here’s what I want my readers to ponder on. There was 6 large cameras, the system, and two extra large bundles of wiring. I knew right then something was wrong because I could barely get all this stuff in a LARGE priority box. Filled to the brim. He then sends me 2 inch box. So I called some witnesses over, I started to video while opening the box. He sent the only the system back, and stole all my cameras and bundles of wiring. So you would think Crystal clear proof right? So I contact EBay telling them that a bad buyer stole my stuff and that I had a live video recording to prove this. They fought me over allowing me to send my video proof through there link and finally allowed. Now, you would think that the 2 inch box would be able to exonerate Me? Right? Let alone the video proof. Nope wasn’t good enough. So they then tell me I have to sign some perjury papers, that I must remind my readers, that they do not make the buyers sign. More discrimination towards the sellers. So, I send their perjury papers back through there link. And I get a message that they never received my perjury signature. Fishy? Yes for sure. Ok, so this time I get smart and document everything, and I send it once again. In the meanwhile, I’m thinking how can EBay not find this in my favor. Justice will be done. Nope! Once again I get a letter saying that they found it in the favor of the buyer and refunded his money and allowed him to steal my items after all. . Wow! So not only did he get to to be rewarded by ebays broken system, he also made money by sending a priority A box, rather then the Large priority box I paid for both ways. Who made money on this? EBay and this bad seller. I also want to add, that I took my conversations of the perjury document I sent to EBay down to the geek squad, and they confirmed that not only did EBay receive the first perjury statement. But they also received the second perjury statement. Wow! I call it discrimination in the work house. But no matter how you stack it. They catered knowing full well to this bad buyer, because they did not want this buyer, not to buy on EBay again. Ponder on this people. EBay got video proof of me opening the box. They also got undeniable proof by looking at all the stuff I sold this bad buyer, that it was virtually impossible to fit in his return 2 inch thin box. There trust and safety team can not be trusted to do the right things. We see that in the great EBay FBI raid that is now common knowledge. But what makes it sad. Is I truly doubt that the CEO even knows that this harassment still continues to this very day. I’m sure many of you have been pushed around. I fought them hard. I stood up for righteousness. Even know EBay trust and safety team knowingly scammed me. I stood tall. I spoke out against adversity, and injustice in the EBay market place. And I still have all evidence including his two inch box. I guess in a nut shell. I sympathize with all the hard working sellers at the bay that are being taken advantage on a daily basis. Im fortunate, I’m not destitute. I do this for kicks and giggles. I own my own business. I only wish people would just start standing up in life. You work very hard for your stuff. You should expect excellence out of EBay. You should never be afraid to stand against adversity. I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. Actually, it’s the road lease travelled in life. But there’s nothing like the spirit of a volunteer who stands against adversity, who takes the choice to be an advocate for himself and others. There’s something very powerful about this even if you don’t win this battle. You did your best to fight back. Stand up people. Now is the time to Make a stand against all wrong doing here and abroad. United we stand, divided we fall. There is much honor in those who are still free thinkers. Will you Stand, or will you sit? Will you speak out, our will you be silent. Life is short. Your voice is very very powerful. It’s the one thing that those that come against you never want to understand. Especially with all the corruption we have seen in the last four years. We are very very powerful indeed. Never forget this. It has not all been bad at EBay. But I definitely see a decline in customer service. And, believe that all stock holders look at strengths and weaknesses in any company. And this blatant customer retention problem with EBay is growing like cancer, and could be the very precursor of people dumping EBay stocks. My hope is that somehow CEO Jamie hears how bad it has become here on EBay and saves the day. I tell everyone he’s a righteous man and is probably being shadow banned on most of what’s going on internally. EBay, I am a friend, not a foe. But my grandfather taught me to always stand up for my rights. So if you see I have a bark on with EBay, it’s because I’m just standing up for righteousness, myself and others. And my very best of luck to everyone here on EBay. Don’t give up on EBay. Help them get back on track again. We veterans here on EBay have invested a whole lot into this business. But if you are afraid to speak out. No changes will ever be made. EBay seems to work on a complaint trend program. So tell them how you feel. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. I hope everyone here on EBay and abroad have a super day. I hope our moderator finds justice and Merrit in my reply of being here 19 years on EBay. I have been loyal to EBay for 19 years with impeccable positive feedback to boot. I try always to be transparent, and I hope you find it in your heart to allow my message of concerns. Thanks again. Stay the course. Proud to be an adventurer.
