I was going to shut up and leave, but since you antagonize me,I will post some more. The black eye is earned. The other day I posted about how search and listing defaultsalways want to be initially dodgy about item location, and makeyou scroll down t...

Just for fun I let one of my listings be part of the EIS program.Judging by the time I get views, it does seem to help a little.Views, yes, buyers, no. But that's irrelevant. I wanted to point out a little detail.If you read the fine print on the EIS...

I make a small line of very good and unique handmade guitar pedals.I've been playing and building for over 40 years. I have an ear for tone.Many years ago, I could sell these here and it was just OK. But now it is impossible to compete in this over s...

I wasn't able to find a way to change the default behavior of a search/ browse of listings. I'm talking specifically about the ITEM LOCATION, which to this day still defaults to WORLDWIDE, putting virtually all of the foreign made goods listed FIRST ...

I posted that so if its a possible real concern it could get fixedfor the sellers who do stick around. Domestically a sellercould use a smaller box, need less padding, less weight,save some money. But yeah, I am gone. Oh, and BTW, I paid outrageous f...

Nah. I figured out what the problem is.Basically, it's the old "many duplicate listings" scam. For example, in the overdrive category, my pedal (if non-PL)won't show up until page 47. If I distill the hundreds of listingsthat show before it, it is ba...

That's not what happened.They didn't make a change I didn't like.They made changes that were not well thought out, for anyone. Still here, sure, but this is spiraling-death-syndrome and thefinancials aren't that good. Missed earnings target again, an...

Other platforms are fine.It's not the economy.More jobs available than ever. As someone else pointed out, a total house-cleaningfrom top to bottom is desperately needed.
