How can we compete

[littlemiddy]

Hi

How do we compete with a seller who sells at a loss, I purchased a pair of earrings to see how they package/post them, cost $1.99 aud, when the earrings arrived, the postage was $2.20 aud add ebay fees onto that your looking at maybe $2.50 aud so they losing $0.50 per sale, there is no way I can compete, and they have over 10,000 listings on ebay with 195k items sold, i checked their feedback history and most people buying the $1.99 earrings and not the more expensive to even out the so called sales. Ebay stated that they have other accounts with more expensive items to even out the sales......again how is this fair to the rest of us??

They litterly have a monopoly so why should I sell on ebay and is this happening with other items??

How can we compete with this????

seriously?? your saying I am not smart cause I dont want to sell at a loss, so therefore I must be just bad at business, sounds to me like a bunch of new/fake/various ids justifying what I have pointed out,

No, I didn’t SAY you are not smart … but you came on here, complained about how unfair it is, then abused others who disagreed with you, then chided others about their 0 feedback id’s… lol. 
I didn’t have to say it… you did it yourself!

The was to "compete" is to have quality items that are not sold by a million drop shippers at realistic prices and with good service.

Don't compare your products to the cheapest rubbish unless you are also selling rubbish! In which case you will not be able to keep up with the high volume sellers!!

The boards are not run by ebay, but moderated by a company called Khoros.

If your posts were removed it would have been by their moderators.

And I think I know who 'got their back up'

Hi Padi,  I have plenty of free popcorn available if you want.

It used to be chocolate coated though.
