<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1700326, member: 26302&quot;]I guess my response, as a buyer on Ebay, is you do not KNOW they don&#039;t do anything to bad buyers. Yo don&#039;t know how much they track such activities, how many buyers every year they ban, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do know from personal experience there were a lot of bad sellers on Ebay before. The way Ebay probably looks at it, (the way I would), is:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Customers are critical. Without customers ALL sellers will be upset and leave. Please do not give me the line about &quot;if there are no sellers then yada yada&quot;. Sellers will sell if customers are there willing to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Now that they have Paypal bad sellers are even worst, since they can create credit card disputes, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, you have to play the game. Always prove your shipment arrived, deal with jerk customers, etc. Maybe Ebay has swung too far to favor customers, but I know there was a time I didn&#039;t like to buy on Ebay for fear of some buying experiences. That time it gone, and today I feel confident about buying on Ebay. That is as intended. Too much stuff can happen online, and they have done a good job in comforting buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now my only concern is that Ebay&#039;s fees have driven away most good deals that I used to be able to find. That is a different concern. If Ebay had lower fees, which would attract more sellers as well, and possibly even more buyers, then I think their growth would pick up. As it is, while I am comfortable buying there, I would say everything for sale at a fixed price there is available cheaper with just a few seconds search elsewhere. THe only thing I ever buy is auctions, and even then I find half or more with a start price higher than I wish to pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do believe Ebay is painting themselves in a corner and will pay for their high fee policies, but I do not thing their policies to protect consumers are bad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
