I am not sure what you're trying to insinuate, it sounds like you think I work for eBay, maybe I do, maybe I have?
I actually want to see the genuine private and business sellers get sales, throwing the toys out of the pram because they don't agree with new policies is pretty sad because they are a minority that will make no difference to anyone except the seller themselves.
You would need to see million and millions of account closures and huge huge drop in revenue to get any response or action from eBay, sellers that only a few hundred sales per quarter will go unnoticed, there will be 1000s of accounts each day that will stop selling and there will be 1000s of accounts signing up to sell also.
Some seem to think if they stop selling they have hit them where it hurts by not generating any sales for them and they are going to get a phone call from eBay begging them to come back, it isn't going to happen.
All the new policies have not even been completely rolled out so why would someone lose up to a month's worth of sales by putting their account on timeaway or ending all their listings? I could understand if they have been selling with the new fees or using simple delivery and it isn't working for them but no one has.
If they are happy for their items to sit there, unsold, gathering dust potentially losing value while those that are still selling will be enjoying the drop in competition and have no doubt have seen an increase in sales.
"Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face" Comes to mind.
It's just as well most do not run a business because they would never survive with spiralling costs, legislation and whatever gets thrown at us, we have to adapt and make things work or we throw the towel in and give up, which isn't an option for most businesses when they have staff and bills to pay.
The one thing I still don't understand is those that hate this company so much still continue to log on each day only to keep posting the same old nonsense, they can't be all that bad can they?
I am done posting about the new fees, simple delivery, false rumours and whatever else people have an issue with, it's very tedious reading the same old posts about how they have stopped selling in defiance and it's about principle why they are doing this, I am trying convince people to at least give it a try before making a decision because it will be the seller that is losing over the long run.
