ebay, you are completely toasting your own sales

[124024]

I'm looking for a jigsaw power tool.

Listed are starting from £15, £20 or so. Posting these items costs nearly £10 - they are small but heavy. No seller want a sale at £30 and for them to absorb £10 in postage, so it's buyer pays. Sellers now cannot change the £10 cost for this item.

I can drive to B&Q which will cost me £6 in petrol, and I can pick up a brand new product of this, for £25. I won't be buying this product from ebay. I'll be going to a bricks and mortar

You're toasting your own sales, by (as per your description) making it easier for people. Whatever makes you more money. (or....not)

You're not speaking to eBay here,  and they do not come to these boards to read these posts.

However,  you are not alone in being unhappy with the current changes with the introduction of Buyer Protection and Simple Delivery,  pop over to the Discussion Board and see the many threads there on the subject.

oh for gods sake.

Why does the "reply" button change to "accept solution" (with the same damn colour button in the same damn place) So if you have internet lag, you click on a button which has now changed function to something you don't want.

Seriously, ebay, you have a million beanbags, can't you think about these things? Is there no "what are we doing" happening around your frappacappamochaccino's?

re to the above comment - I'm aware of this. (I'm also aware most users can't actually reply to these questions, so this forum is......almost (but not quite) useless. I like to think of it as a small helpful input to someones day.
