I am almost exclusively a seller on ebay (for the last nearly 8 years) and I whole-heartedly agree with everything you are saying ! I am still selling but like all of us, have seen the sellers' position on this site eroded and eroded away until we are all fearful of some punitive measure or other that ebay has put in place, affecting us (often unfairly) not to mention the chipping away at our meagre profits by the 'big greedy giant'.

I DO often get sent surveys as a seller, and have got to the point where I just delete them (more often than not) because I don't believe, for all their fine words, ebay is in the least interested in sellers' views or issues. The surveys are merely a way of trying to convince us that they are interested and care (BS!!!!)

I do believe sellers are leaving ebay in droves now. I'm not saying that this is yet putting any sort of meaningful 'dent' in the seller base, as far as ebay is concerned. I think they might even be quite content to see small hobby sellers leaving and their new policies, many sellers believe, are aimed at getting rid of those very sellers. I've even noticed an increase in buyers leaving due to the rise in the cost of items on ebay (explained by the rise sellers have to cover in FVFs and charges on postage)

Good luck with your selling in the future, on whatever online site you choose !!
