Ebay's losing seller's and not gaining any new ones!

[ape-man]

With the new rules and control Ebay and Paypal are trying to enforce on sellers, not only are they losing the long time seller's from when Ebay began, but thru word of mouth, would be new seller's do not want to go into this marketplace now.  High fees, no regard for the seller who make's their money in the first place.

[youarefullofcrap]

I am leaving ebay/paypal too. I just started selling 6 months ago.  When all of my current deals are done, I will be gone. EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS. Ebay does not respect sellers , we will move on. I used paypal to get fast pay and send money fast. This no longer works. Paypal takes MY money holds it for 21 days  and charges me a transaction fee. They take their cut NOW they do not wait 21 days.     GO EBID

I've been at it since 1999 and I've about had it too. Anyone checked out Ruby Lane? For 50 items a month they charge $35.00. That's it. NO commission fees! It's not an auction but a buy now. You can still use PayPal for payments. Mostly antique or vintage items like eGreed used to be. Sell one $35. item and the rest is profit. Any thoughts?

I checked them out too cash$cary, but chose eBid (Webstore is worth a try too). It all comes down to what you are selling and actual sales.

That is why I went with paying eBid $50 for a lifetime Seller+ account and have no listing fees with a final value fee of 2%. This gives you a selling experience much like eBay, sans fees. You can sell there completely free as well, but it is somewhat limited. They also allow you to accept other payment methods like Google Checkout. I personally have Paypal and Google to give my customers multiple options, but I know there are quite a few people that have had it with PP as well. Did I mention you can import feedback, so you're not starting from scratch?

Keep us posted on how it goes on whichever venue you try!

Import feedback? From Ebay? Do I have to take the underserved negatives with me? 😉

I keep seeing eBid mentioned on different threads here. I am seriously considering it. Does it get a good amount of traffic?

I am a new seller since feb 1 2012 and I have about 130 sales and I seem to be doing fine, any suggestions. Dave

[mrbudman11]

Add me to the list of people who will never buy or sell on ebay again. Fees, BS and a hold on my money still even after the customer got the item, this BS!!

[yappcd]

I need to find out more about Ebid does anyone have some personal experience that they can share.  I am fed up with Paypal and Ebay's constant hold on every single transaction I make and I see no end in site.  I am really interested in looking for alternative ways to get rid of stuff peridically.

EBAY IS BASED PRIMARILY ON CHINA SALES BECAUSE OF MONEY SO IF WE WEED OUT THE CRAPY SELLERS  WITH A FEW LAWS TOO FIGHT THE MONOPOLY WE WILL WIN. I SEE MANY FOLKS GETTING UPSET ABOUT MANY THINGS BUT NO ONE WILL WORK TOGETHER AND I CANT DO IT MYSELF. IF I HAD MONEY I WOULD ACT AS THE ANGEL I WAS NAMED AFTER  GOD BLESS , MOUNTAINMANSMITH

[planes4you]

They better get with the times before it's too late.They can try having free listings all year long and just maybe some might give them a last chance and come back to sell.

Do you mean that a person can purchase an item use it for 13 days then say I want my money back before the 14 day cut off?Buyers remorse!

Why am i waisting my time here because there isn't anyone watching the store. They know it we all know it.Enough said-----
