EBAY DYING???

[collectablebitsandpieces2015]

It seems Ebay is losing touch with sellers. Ive noticed a severe decline in bidding/views which indicates buyers are dropping like flies. Its cooincided with increases in fees (Ebay and Paypal), and increases in Australia Post fees. So what have they done - slugged a 10% impost on postage as well as the final selling fee. Ebay needs to provide some loyalty to sellers.....better postage rate deals with Aust Post, staggered fees based on loyalty levels etc. As postage fees rise, buyers will turn away.......EBAY - TIME TO ACT!! Im seriously thinking of pulling the pin....

Exactly, you cannot compare losing a father in his 90's who has lived more than a full life to a new born child. I have in the last 2 months become a father for the first time and i could not imagine anythig worse.

hum only loyality is for share holders.

well with out the millions of dollars they collect of sellers each month one would think sellers & buyers should share in that loyality dont you think. without the millions collected each month in fees from sellers what business has ebay got for there share holders.

ebay dont own any stock listed here.  One would think ebay owes much more loyality to the sellers that sit here day after day listing & wrapping parcels because without them what is ebay a site with nothing to offer.

For those who continue to say things like eBay's only reason for existing is profit / only loyalty is to their shareholders etc...

Profit and purpose are two different things, if one is neglected in favour of the other, it will at least inhibit genuine success if not outright deny it. A business, no matter what their size or resource pool is, can't trade on past success forever, either. 

eBay's purpose is to provide a service, from which they derive a profit. The quality of that service affects their profit. Maybe they'll thrive and be perfectly happy in a few years time with the way things are going, and if so, yay for them, but I'll believe it when I see it. 

If I approached my business with the atttitude of the only reason I'm doing this is to make as much money as possible, and I have little to no loyalty, obligation or responsibility to my customers above and beyond 'yo, here's the thing, you can have it I guess, at least, I haven't found any reason why you can't have it....yet', I doubt I would have lasted much beyond a couple of months.
