you guys think this will do any good? http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/73457/ebay-boycott-begins-tomorrow-will-it-work
I don't know if it works, but as a seller I've dealt with a few really bad buyers. There are bad eggs on both pars buyers and sellers. I have sent someone an item before, they said they'd never received it (left me a negative and started a dispute with PayPal) and I provided tracking to them showing that it was signed for at their address and they never wrote back. I left them a negative. I think it's bogus that eBay caters so much to buyers but crap on their sellers. No worries, though. I don't sell on eBay anymore, there's no profit in it because their fees are so high.
Doubtful. This is the first i've ever even heard about it. There's so many people that run their business on ebay that I doubt it will make a huge impact. In fact, there are now more businesses on ebay than there are personal listings.
Actually people would be suprised, The listing fees are so high that people are beginning to stop selling on ebay! Without sellers there are no buyers either! I personally feel that ebay is slowly going to become less and less active!
How awesome would it be for smaller sellers to profit from this. I mean, all the sellers on the boycott are probably big time sellers. This could open things up for smaller sellers... at least for this week. I wrote about it here: Profit from eBay Boycott
It won't work. Hasn't before and won't now. It's their game so either play by their rules or don't play. Having said that this change in feedback is just plain asinine. I wish Google would decide to get into the auction business.
Yeah, but the thing is that the little guys can't afford the listing fees. It's only the guys who have a huge turnover rate on their products who can afford the initial listing fee, and then the percentage of what the item sold for fee, and then paypal fees, applicable taxes at the end of the fiscal year, and the lack of the ability to leave negative feedback to crappy buyers.
