topic Re: What has RUINED eBay for you and how would you improve it? in Buying https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Buying/What-has-RUINED-eBay-for-you-and-how-would-you-improve-it/m-p/7798466#M74220 The fact that this thread is still going six months after it was started, and with people adding more things that they feel have ruined the site and suggestions as to how they would improve it, just goes to show that eBay clearly are not taking any notice of anything that their users say.  Ideally this thread should have been brought to the attention of the people at eBay Towers tasked with implementing changes to the site, with orders to them all to read the thread in full and use it as guidance as to what changes they need to make in order to improve the site!  Anyway, I've decided to add the following to my own list of things that I feel eBay ought to change, as at the time of posting my original response on this thread eBay had not yet created the additional problem that I have now decided to post about here. Personally I would advise eBay to reverse their decision to charge buyers the Buyer Protection Fee on private listings.  It was always free to use until recently, so why should buyers have to pay for it now?  Either this is a very badly thought out idea by eBay as to how to drive unregistered business sellers off of the site who are masquerading as private sellers, or it's an attempt to drive all private sellers off of the site for good - including the genuine ones.  However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if in the next year or two eBay try to roll this out to such an extent that they decide to apply it globally to every single listing on all of their sites, regardless of whether the seller is a business or private seller.  However, even the biggest companies can only push their luck so far before it finally runs out.   Therefore, if eBay do end up doing this then I predict that it would end up being the equivalent to eBay of what the iceberg was to the RMS Titanic, in that such a move will cause irreparable damage to the site and finally end up sinking eBay for good.
