Gold powerseller since 2000 , ive now been suspended due to a negative recieved due to a buyer not getting my messages because they were caught in a spamfilter.Sellers have no protection and MOST items on ebay are FAKES.
Dont buy from ebay, theyve been dragged through countless courts over their fraudulent business practices.
I wont buy from ebay and i wont sell from ebay any longer.

That have the mentality that if they keep the seller jumping through hoops they will do all they can to satisfy the buyer, but the hoops they are making us jump through are ridiculous and do nothing but make a (once good venue)nothing but a venue we all want to leave. Their attitude is, if they have 1 million buyers and sellers unhappy with the system, they have 19 million more that are not and that is ok with them and that you should just leave. Nice business model if you ask me.

eBay used to be O.K. now the new management wants to make it a candyland for morons.
As a seller I have seen a huge increase of non-paying-bidders, whiners, and morons trying to make their own rules.
I also got suspended for selling a 1960's kids cap gun, a toy that every kid on the block had when I was young. eBay claimed "replica firearm ??"
Well, I hope that somebody comes out with a decent site where people can buy and sell without all the B.S.

ebay makes money from sellers, not from buyers.
The New ebay CEO is a sucker who thinks as long as ebay has buyers, sellers will have to beg him to get a place to sell their stuffs.
This ebay CEO is a very stupid idiot.
If sellers are gone, do you think buyers will come to ebay?
Because there are numerous places to sell good stuffs.
ebay, now is a famous place to buy FAKE designers' items.
Who wants to go to a shopping mall with lots of fake goods?
Buyers leave ebay now.

to ebay employees who just lost their jobs.
Because ebay sucks. It is good for you all to lose your job now. It is still easy to find another job.
The day when ebay's name is so smelly and stinky, no other companies will employ ex-ebay employees anymore.
Advise to present ebay employees, if you can leave now, leave and get another jobs before it is too late.
paypal is NOT governed by Financial Acts, paypal can fly-by-night.
What protection paypal users have?
Don't use paypal.

ebay stock price is coming down, coming down coming down.
ebay business is coming down, because it sucks.
Well, everyone is aware of ebay new CEO sucks.
He changed lots of policies that offened lots & lots of sellers. So sellers left ebay.
He thinks buyers let ebay make money.
He is very very wrong. Stupid thinking.
Sellers pay fees and commissions.
Without sellers, buyers would not come.
ebay shareholders must act now to kick the CEO out, if not ebay will be a penny stock one day.

Take a look at Ebay stock. Even before the crash, it had tanked to 1/3 of the value it was a few years back. I wish I had the money to go to Chicago and say the things this brave man did, but I was discarded like the tens of thousands of others and was lucky to make the rent last month. Shame on these terrible people! I can't believe their short sightedness. How the mighty have fallen!

It never did count against your score.

Ebay is purposefully driving away their auction traffic. Big mistake. They want to be more like Amazon, but Amazon's way ahead of them at what Amazon does. Folks at Amazon like Amazon. NOBODY likes Ebay anymore. If Ebay does not change its policies back and completely boot out the idiot management soon, irreversable damage will be done. They have, just this year, lost tens of thousands of good sellers and it's already getting tough to find the unique auction stuff Ebay was once known for.
