what scammers ebay is! they just lowered all insertion fees for fixed price auctions to 35 cents, making you think your saving money, but once again increased final value fees.
i sold a ps3 last month for 310 and was charged 15 in final fees, now i just listed an auction for a 300.00 BIN and the final fees are 21 dollars, what the hell??? ebay is so out of control, along with the no money order fiasco starting in october so they can rape you with thier fees and paypal fees, i dont see this site lasting much longer.....they have gotten so damn greedy...im just leaving my listing on there and not selling it for anything less than 300, i started out high inhopes of getting a fair value offer, but after the fees then paypal fees, ill be losing 40 friggin bucks, no wander ppl are charging so much these days on there.

Well if you sell something with a Buy it Now price, it's just like using a reserve... you pay for it. If you want to get the most bang for your buck, list the item at $0.01 with no reserve. Works for me every time. You attract more bids, and if you have over 30 bids, it becomes a featured item.
wait... they still do that, right? |

I hate to say it, but EBAY will not be going anywhere anytime soon. They have a MASSIVE monopoly, and as easy as it is to say.."hell, im walkin away" truth is now adays there are thousands of people that make a living off ebay. I know a guy that JUST does ebay and supports his family. He HATES ebay..He would like to strangle anybody whos affiliated with them managment wise..but he cant do anything about it.
The only time you will any change on ebay for the better is after the feds regulate commerce on the interenet.But that may get worse..when feds regulate anything they screw it up (health care anyone??) Until then they will remain the gestapo, and it will only get worse for everybody. I use ebay now, and Sellers are just completly screwed...Ive looked around for an alternative but there is nothing decent. The previous poster is correct. THE ONLY WAY to "GET BACK AT EBAY" is to sell stuff for 1$ and charge what you want for shipping..I do this right now. When ebay figures this out they will put rules on shipping costs... |

eBay IS in trouble. I heard they were doing layoffs this week. Google ebay troubles or something like that and you will see news items about how people are unhappy with all their new policies which in turn screw the sellers. There have been less items listed on ebay because there's alternatives to selling on there, like directly (done on sites like this) or on Amazon.com.

Sellers are getting screwed big time now with fees and waiting periods to get your money. I sold some things a week or two ago and had to wait until the buyer either left good feedback or Paypal confirmed shipment had arrived. I was ok with waiting for +feedback or confirmation of shipment but even after they had proved items arrived and I recieved +feedback I still had to wait 3 more days until they would release the funds into my Paypal account. So to sum it up I shipped the items sold the very next day using priority shipping through USPS and had to wait 7 days to get my money. I think the funds should be released as soon as + feedback is recieved or as soon as they get their stuff not 3 days after. So now Im trying to stay away from EvilBay if at all possible.
