Hi all, fully aware ebay don't read these boards other than moderators.

I've heard the scenarios ebay getting rid of small sellers etc.

I've recently gone from 600 listings on two accounts down to 350 in the last month and falling - selling over MP where there are no fees etc and quick turnaround, particulary my higher priced items - so ebay misses out of its commission there.

I wonder how others feel re the item specifics that are compulsory... as in when I've been updating mine, sometimes I don't know the "specific" answer usually clothing or vtg books, and if you have to complete the specific and get it wrong aren't you at risk of an item not described claim?

and with the tracking item not delivered within 3 days scenario.. is that 3 days of posting if not tracked?  again I'm changing my items to be trackable -  for that many listings it takes time to update - and also adds to your asking price.

then I read on the forums about some inernational extra % fee  / but by that stage had cancelled all my international sales as an item was still in transit (trackable) but as no proof of delivery I ended up $50 out of pocket and a neutral feedback.

really turning me off ebay, along with managed payments hovering...

perhaps their intention? - despite reading on my profile they've marked me as a top rated blah blah seller.

seems to be a lot of unfavourable changes happening... are others finding it this way?  let alone getting regular sales.  October is usually peak month and I do get bites, but findign having lost the itnernational market and people not having money to spend too its all not adding up well.
