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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And the techies who work at Ebay won't care; they'll just hike their 20-something asses to screw up some other companies.
It's sellers the world over who depend on Ebay to survive who will suffer. The disabled, pensioners, laid off, home schooling Moms, etc.
Will the Feds be there to bail all those sellers out when Ebay management is done playing around?
ebay basically gets worse and worse. they're gonna 'tweak' the business right out of EXISTENCE. google needs to open up an auction site; when they do, ebay will collapse OVERNIGHT
He then stood up and said DSRs don't matter anymore because he has powerseller accounts with thousands of ratings, but he can open a new account and outsell his powerseller account.
TaleHook verified this is what he said, and verified an article that spoke about this video and how he was opening new accounts daily to sell on eBay... because it was the only way to work around the crappy system.
Please let everyone know that he has done this to me. Maybe he will finally respond to my emails and make it right.
And there's no way to prevent competitors from bombing your account. One negative can slow down sales for days.
Ebay has corrected some things, like dsrs now can go to 4.1, not 4.3. And they're making talk about making buyers accountable. Maybe they'll continue.
