Ebay plus a joke

[lizd160904]

I know it's early days, but based on what I see, there is no way in hell I'll be paying for Ebay Plus. I buy a lot and have a large watch list and have noticed that the only sellers offering it.... are those that had free shipping already! lol and of course we know there is no such thing, it's factored in to the price.

So it's all a farce to get people to pay $29, $49 after the first year to get free shipping off sellers who offered it prior to Ebay PLus anyway. Not only single seller I use who charges postage now has the Plus. And here was the Ebay chief saying they were doing it to increase online shopping. Yeah whatever dude....

Ebay plus is just a way to squiz more profit for ebay. 

for $49 a year, ebay makes 100% profit from it, because ebay will not contribute to any shipping cost for the seller, so any item you buy with ebay plus, all the shipping cost is already in the purchase price. 

Not like Amazon Prime, the free shipping for prime member, Amazon does absorb the cost of shipping for prime member. 

Yes, $49 a year, ebay makes 100% profit from this fee, and contribute nothing to the buyer and seller. 

this is quite disgusting actually.

Strangely, they're not forcing anyone to use it.

Ebayplus is the worst $50 I've ever spent on Ebay and among the worst money I have EVER spent. What a joke. I kept getting bombarded with some "Ebayplus members get $40 off your next spend" message right up until I joined up...never seen it again. I have never used Ebayplus since joining and probably never will. Way too many of the supposedly "free postage" items have already had the postage charge factored into a higher price. Total  rubbish item and seriously after nearly twenty years as an Ebay member feeling like chucking it in. As if the overseas shipping program totally neutering the value in buying from the USA hasn't been bad enough, I was stupid enough to pay for this!

And you grabbed a 5 year old post to tell us you are leaving.

At least Ebay plus is quicker

Plus the other even older one they had the same thing on

Why wait 5 weeks?

If the estimated delivery date showed earlier, they open a dispute

If the estimated delivery date said 5 weeks away, zero reason to buy anyway and then complain

Twice
