Ebay’s new policy for private sellers is like hell now!

[triptocardissa78]

I’m a private seller with 99.7% rate for 7 years now. The new policy changes are like hell for me. I’m not getting paid for sold items for a week now. Most of my sold items are delivered already, but Ebay still showing the as “Dispatched”, but they have been delivered for days. All tracked, express24 or RM Tracked48. Numbers of buyers are not giving a damn to leave feedback as well, and sometimes they are not even collecting their parcels from the collection point they asked me to post to.  I don’t want to be a business seller, because I don’t want to pay more fees and stuff, plus I don’t want to be PAYE tax payer. Put the bloody selling fee back and let the sellers be. 
I’m facing with a hard financial period at the moment, money is short, and now I’ve lots of money on hold for weeks?! No thank you!

Ebay is bloody taking my breath away of this whole selling thing. Plus Ebay puts buyer’s fee on my listings automaticly? Who the heck they think they are?! Cutting off  my chances to sell things? So I’m unable to provide competitve prices!  Costumer service is also a BS. Making excuses, and “understaning my issues” ?! Get the system fixed!!!This is sucks, and screwing me off.

Just been looking for a 12" record case.

First stop is looking at  prices, then the listing, it's the first photo that draws you in (generic photos are ok for new items but not second hand. unless the second hand item is pennies)

On average it looks like people are asking around £40 with the  postage for a second hand one. Some have nice photos, some have terrible photos with the case dusty ect (they can keep that)

Then thought mmm wonder what their selling for, checked the sold's and most have sold for around £15 - £20

Where do some sellers get their prices from? fishing prices?

Next stop is looking at the listing description. 

Last stop before pressing the button is feedback

Pvt sellers get a close look at, business sellers tend to just get a glance. The amount some business sell the law of averages says their bound to get the odd negative.

If eBay start leaving auto feedback for pvt sellers I'll probably loose faith in the feedback system, be more picky and avoid higher value items, £100+ even with the BPF,  who wants the hassle.

If all's good, then the button gets pressed 👍

Just personal take on your question being a buyer 🙂
