I'm certain you'll feel all your suggestions in life are helpful. I know people like that, and to the best of my recollection my response has generally been to use words along the lines of they know where they can stick them 🙂
As for ignoring your point about fees, you need to read responses, and one of my earlier replies dealt with this point. Again, rather entitled of you to think these posts start and end on this thread with your comments, but, again, that would be you, wouldn't it. So, for those who can't trouble themselves to read back, pay attention, watch my lips move. As I said, no one thinks this is a charity and that there shouldn't be a cost to selling here. Everyone accepted fees, it was the cost of doing business. No one asked for the changes ebay enforced, it is just them implementing changes to make more money, because lets be honest, if fees were the way to make most cash, they'd still be making those instead. That ebay made a fee charge on postage was disingenuous, but again, that's just them profiteering. As I stated, one alternative is to give sellers the choice, either pay fees and receive payments instantly, as used to happen when Paypal was the way to pay, or opt for a system like now, where people choose to wait for payment and avoid the fees.
Oh, and finally, once again you are wrong, being honest I don't think as things as now is better. On another account with more feedback than yourself I have been on ebay for close to twenty five years, and I've seen how ebay has evolved. It was a place where a seller i know had a problem with their car and had to flog a lot of items for less than usual in a hurry. That wouldn't be an option now as it was then. People I know had a lot of items to sell from an estate they were managing. Back then they kept apace with money they made because they sold it, received payment, could trace it directly to the bank. Now, they'd be waiting to see what was delivered, waiting to see when the payments went through and having to keep withdrawing the cash, all of which makes for a lot of mess from people who had busy lives, a young family and a lot of other stuff to do from having lost a family member. Was any of that ebay's problem, of course not. Should ebay care, well they clearly never have, but when it came to being a place people could straightforwardly sell items, not running a business, that's how it was then. Not any more. But, again, tell yourself what you want to hear, but do annunciate, with your nose where it is what's coming out of your mouth is a tad muffled, but very ebay-centric 🙂
