Boo-hoo bleet bleet ...im going .....

[stickerswa]

Yet again ebay bumps it fees up. Just like when they made paypal compulsery ...everyone threatened to leave ...all crying in their beer  but have a look ...ebay has more sellers now than ever ....

NONE of you will bail ...and those that do will come back because lets face it ...there is NO OTHER place that works even close to ebay ...and they know it.

So suck it up folks ...you will all keep selling and the fatcats at ebay will still get their money !

Truth hurts ......

Sounds like you're staying? but your topic says that you're going?

[robinsonmarineparts]

Are you coming or going?

Alot of us won't leave, but, alot of us have set up on other sites, so when the other sites get up and running i guess i'll see you over there. ROFLMAO

I'm not going anywhere. Just trying to work out the best way to go about dealing wirh the increase, absorb the cost or increase prices. Got to learn to adapt on ebay. As you say there is no other site that comes close. Having your own website is easy to set up but to have traffic to it is another thing.

We are not leaving... yet.

But we are getting close to having our own independent website up & running now.

We will be doing all we can to make that work and will continue trading on here while that happens.

But if it can perform sufficiently to support us then we will be closing out of here. Or at least reducing our presence.

Just don't know how long that will take but we are determined to make it work with the help of a professional IT savvy friend.

I hope they are experts on SEO because that in itself is pretty much a full time job if you want to rank highly. It's very hard trying to do it yourself and run your business.
Been there done that!

Yeah Harley...

We have had quite some discussion on this exact topic with him.

He has quite the track record in SEO with other customers. And knows this aspect very well.

And he is prepared to stay with us for the long haul to keep it all working well too.

So we are quietly confident.

I hardly think ebay shareholders are going to get rich quick charging me an extra 7c in fees for items with quoted postage, most of my items are free post anyway.

It was inevitable that this was going to happen eventually in Australia so live with it or leave, your choice.

Obvious change as it was one of the big hurdles converting folks to freepost
