We have ripped off before. let's rip you off a little more

[comcol]

"Dear" Ebay,

Well done Ebay. For once again ripping off sellers on here.

I recall just a short while ago you stating that an increase in fees was to reduce seller costs?? Never figured out hey that worked.

You reduced store fees saying how great that was and just a few weeks later you decide to double them. AGAIN.

Do you ever stop lying to sellers and stating totally false facts about costs and dribbling how you are "helping" sellers?

Your statement releaseed today states "the increase became necessary as the fee changes made earlier this year (most of which were reductions) " SAY WHAT???

Would you mind telling me where there were reductions in anyones fees???? You nearly doubled them up to 7%!!.

Ebay, do you ever tire of lying and treating sellers as though they are morons who cant count??

My fees have gone up a whopping 80% in the last couple of months and now you intend to increase yet again!.

To now sell one item is costing a massive $140 in fees alone. And Ebay calls itself a cheap place to buy items?? I charge far more online then privately now due to the ridiculous fee costs.

Thank you for paying no attention to our complaints Ebay and now delte anything that critisizes you.

i am on side vegacomputers its just crazy,i saw few days ago ebay on news they proud they make milions everyday,they do and its only on fees,soon sellers will be closing shops i know i will be,if ebay want put price for shop,why they don't let the sellers listing for free,and if item don't sell for 1 month go 3 month free,ebay have money for nothink

The problem is that, like within society ( ie, govt etc ) increasing fees ( etc etc etc ) will always continue to increase. And continue, and continue and continue.

The bottom line is...

The govt ( and CEO`s of big corporations, like banks and utility providors like energex and telstra etc ) will continue to needlessly feather their own nests and there is absolutely nothing that us slaves can do about it.

We should not even bother complaining because it will not help, except give the heartless greedy gutses more to feed upon.

What we need in this era is for these " greedy guts`s " to be capped/culled off and their massively excessive wealth in riches to be distributed amongst the slaves.

It really is the only way. Things are NOT going to get any better. Labour, liberals, left wing right wing etc etc etc this whole world is going to end up EXACTLY LIKE IRAQ, LYBIA AFGHANISTAN greece etc etc etc. The govt get filthy rich and us paupers simply sit back with no food or water.

Why complain??? It is not going to do any good ! LOL

as a buyer some of this is really disturbing.

I have been running store for past two years and I noticed that the real profit was made by Ebay in terms of fees, selling fees and paypal fees even though I am the seller.

And now annoucement of new fee policy for store owners? That's really shame for such big company who are earning millions of dollars just because of the sellers and look what they do with them again?

I think we all are earning for Ebay..listing fees, item sold commission, paypay commision and now more store fees which are doubled!

What can we do?

someone sounds disturbed.

You are right bjmonty28. How much more profit Ebay wants to earn? How much? Ebay is EBAY just because of sellers.

What sellers have got in all those years? I mean rather than helping the sellers out, they are putting more presure to close them down.

All the big store owners will enjoy as their small competitors will be going home soon. Bring thousands of products as a seller and you are succesfull.

Excactly, hopefully we will be able to remove eBay as a reputable selling arena and replace it with the brick and mortar venues that this economy requires !

WoW EBay!!!

[bjmonty28]

But you must understand that $693 is nowhere near enough. I mean even $692B is still not even anywhere enough.

We cannot comprehend how much is going to be enough and this is the same with all large corporations and govts.
