Suck it up.

Was waiting for this 😉

Also, still waiting for "poor seller, now has to pay fees".

Another popular one: "Congratulations, you are now selling more than $3000 per year"!!! 

Come on, guys... some people haven't read these threads before. I know we've got sick of the complaints, but others haven't read them before and are coming here for the first time to vent.

Although, I don't understand why they would complain. I'd never sold on eBay before opening my store so had never tried before I bought. I got on eBay to sell and make money and I wanted PS status ASAP so I could climb up the selling ladder. When I achieved it, I was happy... better rankings etc. 

However, there are some who don't have a store, don't buy stock to sell. Hoarders get professional help and then seek to clean out their house the profitable way. Mums sell their kids' smaller clothes to help fund newer purchases. People move house and don't want to drag that old table into their new garage.... etc etc

I'm sure eBay could have some special policies in place for people who are special. Considering how many come to these boards to request special treatment, I would think eBay stocks would plummet real soon after - poof, there go our businesses as well!

Not sure which category the OP is in but the sellers who complain are usually the same ones who buy on eBay and then give red dots for Postage charges. They are the ones who think that business is about sellers selling their goods at the same price they bought them for and then fork out the cost of the satchel to send them to the buyer. 

When they try that business model on their own selling, they haven't taken eBay fees into account, let alone a modest profit margin for their trouble. These are the sellers who try to compete with Chinese sellers on eBay. The ones who buy $1.00 products from China and re-sell for $2.00 including postage from Australia (sent in a 50 cent satchel with 2 x 60 cent stamps on it).

I was a buyer on eBay for years before I became a seller. I got into business selling with a store that cost me a percentage of my sales immediately. I sucked up the fees and still regard them as my rent for being here. At times they eat up more than I can make (there was a time when I was populating my store with numerous listings, making few sales, and eBay/Paypal were eating up 30% or more of my earnings) so yes, I complained. But that was an intermediate stage that is still leading me where I want to go with my sales. 

If you are making over $3000, you need to pay rent to eBay for allowing you to use it's bandwidth, if nothing else. Lucky you don't have to pay rent from day one, which is what the real-estate agent would require (along with a second month's rent for bond) if you were selling in a B&M store. I don't think that "but I'm only making $2900 a year" makes it to the excuses that will get you out of paying rent in that situation.
