We sold on eBay for over a year and made some really great money doing it. We never really had any problems with it, although the fees kept getting a little more ridiculous as time went on. We decided it was time to move on to something else, and never really looked back. I could only imagine how frustrating it all is for you though when you've been selling for so long.

However, when so many say "this is wrong or this needs to be changed or we can't work with this". We are ignored! We put up petitions and they are also ignored! Ebay has always forged ahead and put their own plans in place...always stating that it was a consensus of their "community" (imaginary at that). They have fooled no one and still they forge on! In the 9 years I've been selling on that site things have gone from bad to worse and now, with a whole month of reduced fees and no fees, sales have not improved very much. They are in trouble and they are making it worse by catering to what "they" feel buyers want...totally forgetting that many of their buyers are also sellers! The same fraudsters are still alive and well and selling on that site - while Ebay comes out with an elaborate plan that also fools no one! We all keep hoping in vain that they will get their act together - reduce fees, put stores back in search - get rid of the star system and bring back transparency to their "community" before its too late and for goodness sake stop trampling over the small sellers that made them what they are! I can't put it any plainer than that and I speak from hard and solid experience and not just thought or analysis about what's best. LOL I’m well aware of the forums and am a frequent poster on them.
