How Ebay has changed over the years as a seller... | eBay Café

Has anyone else noticed a number of changes over the years - and not all for the better?I've noticed an unhealthy couple of trends with buyers. The first is the "I want it now" buyer. I run auctions, the end date will coincide with my availability to ship out. But, with the auctions, I can almost guarantee several buyers will message me with "Wots ur buy it now price?????" (sic) or words to this effect. I'm always polite, but, it's an auction for a reason. I'll explain I'll let the auction run, and they return with "Ill give you £50" on an item that eventually will sell for maybe £300. It's nuts. The second trend I've noticed is a huge slow down in the buyers paying post auction. They'll bid to the point of winning, then wait hours / days to pay. Kinda effects my auction to coincide with posting plans! The faster payouts by Ebay are great - moving from Paypal seems like the right move. But, man, it seems expensive to list here these days!
