Yep, I am waiting for a payment too, and if the person doesn't pay I think it is horrendous (sp?) that I can't leave them bad feedback! But if I take a day too long to ship something, you better believe I would get bad feedback for it!

I am an ebay buyer, not seller so I am just being nosy. If I buy your item and dont pay, you as the seller cant leave bad feedback? Then what is the point of feedback?

We used to be able to leave bad feedback, but they took that right away a while ago, so the feedback is basically useless, unless you are a buyer, because you can see if the person is a good seller, but Sellers cannot see if you are a good buyer.

Well, here we go again. Some people trying to get around the system by listing the item for a small fee then putting the cost of the item in shipping. Looks like we all have to pay for a few that try to skirt the system. Of course, Ebay wants their cut so everyone pays.

Ebay is harder and harder to deal with as a seller, however they still reach the largest amount of people. Makes me crazy.

Not any more. All you can do is file an "unpaid item" dispute and if they still don't pay, it makes a note that they didn't pay for the item.

There are plenty of bad buyers out there as well as sellers, so sellers really should be able to leave feedback on buyers... But Ebay doesn't want to scare buyers away, so they took that option away. It's pretty unfair if you ask me.

I gave up on ebay a while back. Like 2 years ago. It was great for a while and I followed all the rules. Then they started trying to put me out of business. So I took my business elsewhere.

I sell vintage and antique items usually, www.etsy.com has been very much the improvement!

I've become an etsy fan too. I look there 1st when I want/need something, then go to Ebay if I have to.
I like to buy it, I am not a huge fan of the auction concept. I prefer immediate gratification. LOL

I quit selling as my main income on eBay several years ago.

I was a silver powerseller when they had those rankings lol..

I HATED it..and I hated the fact PP is an eBay affiliated company..
so they get you for the fees, the FVFs, the PP fees etc...

now you say the ship fees get hit too? well, in a way I guess its great for those
slimey sellers with the inflated ship costs..but for those of us who are
fairly honest in the ship costs are gonna lose out too!

hate it!

UGH!

Ebay has alot of followers and great buyer's resource to find things. However not so great as a seller. I don't like the fact how they are padding on the fees for everything even there was a FREE or ten cent deal on auction listings. Phooey! Ain't a deal if there is one!

I quit selling in eBay a long time ago. I totally avoid sellers who over charge shipping. I had one person overcharge me by three if not four times. I left her negative feedback for it. I felt that was really dishonest. I love buying but feel bad for sellers. It is not right for those who actually charge real shipping. Seems like they are charging sellers every which way.
