[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1422635, member: 75105"]I sold on eBay for 3 years. They really went down hill when that arrogant SOB John Donahoe took over the company. He is a complete idiot and a sham. Once I had a negative left where the buyer called me a vulgar swear word. I had to speak to 5 CS reps before they removed it. The 1st 4 would not even say the word, and pretended like it wasn't even on there. They also said it would take a court order to remove feedback. Don't ever mention any legal action. I once told them that I was going to take them to court (very long story), and they transferred me to a supervisor, they said if I mention legal action, that they are no longer obligated to speak to me, and hung up. I remember: 1. Paypal "FREE AND ALWAYS WILL BE"... Well that did not last very long. 2. Having the option to leave buyers negs. They took that away because they love kissing the buyer's behind. 3. The night when over (IDR the exact number, but it was in the thousands) listings mysteriously appeared the same day eBay sellers had a HUGE boycot (this was back in '08). eBay said it was a "bug"...ya ok. They did this on purpose to pad the listing count to not worry stockholders. 4. They allowed .coms and stores like Toys R US and Buy.com to sell on there with NO FEES. We (the ebay community) watched them removed hundreds of negs because they sold a bunch of items that were out of stock. 5. They removed the option for money orders and cashier checks....saying it was "unsafe". The actual reason was to force people to use paypal. 6. They allowed a alternative payment processor "propay" on eBay. This payment processor stole hundreds of thousands of dollars, held them for over 3 months claiming "they were switching banks". Come to find out...the head honcho of the company, Gregory Quinn, was having a "sexual reasignment surgery". HE/she is now known as "Gregette". They still alow this scum company on here. 7. The illegal holding of funds by paypal. They froze over $400 of MY MONEY for 180 days...claiming "random security check". They did this to a lot of people. They used that held money to gather interest. I read articles of over 20,000 being held. 8. eBay scolded many sellers for having too high of shipping...then turned around and started charging sellers 9% for shipping. 9. Shoving "free shipping" down sellers throats. There is NO SUCH THING as free shipping. The cost is baked in somewhere. Who ever believes shipping is free needs a slap in the face with a dead fish. 10. Raising the bar to make it harder for power sellers. Well I could go on for hours. But eBay is not a good place. They buy out other venues to monopolize. Don't ever forget they own 25% of Craigslist.[/QUOTE]
