I Know Everyone Is Sick Of This Question

[arlottstreetstation]

Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing a massive drop in sales?

Things died for a while after the increase in FVFs but picked up - But, ever since the lastest "Disaster Release" I've noticed a steady decine to the point where I'm now going days without a Sale. This time of year is normally the other wayaround for me with the lead up to Xmas.

Granted, a lot of my normal return Customers are now contacting me direct because they're sick of paying the high prices I'm forced to charge on Ebay to cover Fees, but there are VERY FEW new Customers coming along.

When they do, I am constantly surprised (and amused) to hear cmments like "I don't trust Ebay anymore", "Ebay is too User Unfriendly" etc. .....

THE BUYERS are telling me that they don't believe in Free Post & in fact even become suspicious when they see something that seems too cheap with Free Post as it usually signals JUNK!!!! They're sick of being ripped off by the Chinese Junk Peddlers & their misleading Listings saying the item is in Australia, only to find it's coming from O/S & will take weeks to get here.

I've taken a wait & see attitude up until now, but alas I'm beginning to wonder if it's all worth it. Some boffin who wouldn't have a clue about my Business constantly telling me what's best for it - what Buyers want when clearly it is not - creating a poisonous atmosphere of distrust by BOTH Buyers & Sellers & so on & so on....

So in the immortal words of "Big Brother" - It's time to go....EBAY!!!!

Sales might be slower on other Sites, or even my own Website, but then, nothing is happening here anymore....

Well, when what you think has a chance of actually changing or really meaning anything to me at all, send me a memo to care.

 EBAY HAS BECOME ONE BIG JOKE, A ONE STOP SHOP FOR NON PAYING BIDDERS/BUYERS, SO YOUR ITEM DOESNT GET DISPLAYED AND THERE FAVOURED ONES DO, A STOP SHOP FOR SCAMMERS AND DISHONESTY PEOPLE THEY ABSOLUTLEY LOVE IT HERE AND EBAY LOVES THEM TOO CAUSE IF THEY SCAM LOTS THEN EBAY GETS LOTS, SALES ARE NOT DOWN SALES ARE DEAD THIS PLACE IS OVER UNFORTUNATELY USED TO BE GREAT AT ONE TIME I CAN NEVER SEE EBAY BEING THE SAME AGAIN ONLY RAISE THERE PRICES FOR SELLERS AND RAISE THERE PERCENTAGE CUT FROM EACH OF YOUR SALES, THIS PLACE IS FINISHED YES I AM IN CAPS THIS PLACE IS FINISHED IM OVER IT 2 ACCOUNTS CLOSED TODAY AND DELISTED ALL OF MY ITEMS

BETTER TO MAKE YOUR OWN WEBSITE FOR YOUR OWN STORE WHERE NO ONE STEALS YOUR MONEY

its not about u caring,its about the ebay community knowing the truth, anyone that says good things about ebay lately is either working for ebay, lying, or one of ebays favoured sellers

Truth?

If you'd been around here for a while, you'd know that I have as much bad stuff to say about eBay as I do good stuff - actually, I probably say more bad than good. You may also note that I didn't give eBay any credit at all for my increase in sales - you wanna know why?

Because I work for myself, and damn hard at that.

If you don't believe that my sales are pretty good for me, meh... But please base it on more than just one post you happen to see. I have 6000+ others floating around here, so you could at least read a couple more to broaden your perspective.

BAWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! It never ceases to amaze me that someone comes in here to have a nonsensical rant, (in uppercase text because it shows how angry they are LOL), they see someone say a rare positive thing about eBay and suddenly they are an employee.

Do you honestly believe that an employee of eBay would 1. even bother visiting the forums (because they DON'T)? 2. Post using their buying/selling account?

Hilarious! It's great that I can come into these forums and get a good belly laugh at times. Laughing really makes you feel good. Releases the endorphins.

I'm in the same boat, sales have been really healthy over the last week or two. Sold 15 items overnight which is unheard of for a weekday. We sell ski and snowboard wear and people are starting to buy for the Northern Hemisphere winter. We also stock street and summer gear so are getting the best of both worlds at the moment.

Now that U work for eBay could I get a leg up for a job with CS.

Have been studying to be multilingual & mostly in English because I really think that could go down well on Au eBay.

I put in the multilingual bit because I have been told multilingual is 'alluring'.

Perhaps his/her 'SHIFT' button is locked.

Or the 'CAPS LOCK' dropped off & now that is all he has to work with.

I HAVE LOST MY 'CAPS LOCK' BUTTON (SORRY FOR THE BIG LETTERS).

BELIEVE ME NOTHING & I MEAN NOTHING COULD MAKE 'THEM' LOOK GOOD.

Pick me, pick me!!! I want a job too!! I too can learn new languages. I can currently speak English, Stralyun and Murican, a few more would be good. I can speak a few words and phrases in Tagalog, does that count?

Working for eBay would have to pay more than what I'm currently getting paid now!!!
