  • Great music. We need it. Nobody needs to hear fools flaming the great eBay website.

    eBay rocks. And they saved the day for me on multiple occasions because I got the items I couldn't get anywhere else. And the prices were always better than anywhere else. I never got scammed because I have a brain.

  • I cant hear what you are saying

  • fucl you ebay paypal

  • click link on description, what he says is interesting. Only like 8% of the viewer did this.

  • what is this yutube censorship with crap music???

  • eBay buyers can leave shit feedback for buyers. I just found a site that allows and explains how to post neg feedback to a buyers account and even a url. Its located at: shisters (dot) com (shisters.com)

  • okay this is it! we need to get together people! is the only way to stop eBay and PayPal (SAME COMPANY ANYWAY) from riping us all, apparently the government don't want to shut these thefts from the trick of freeze our account and the monopoly that eBay can only accept PayPal payment, please contact me and let make a chain between all of us that this thefts have been abusing us, even if we have to go to congress!!!!! LET STOP THEM

  • fuck ebay and payapl, the biggest scam auction website in the world. i was a paypal and ebay fan before i got scam, file the claim on payapl. they do no shit but "said after reviewing your case, the seller indicated the item is delivered". if i dont get it why should i file the fuckin claim!!!!! FUCK EBAY AND PAYPAL

  • What is the deal with the garbage music? Guess youtube doesn't want people to know that E-Bay sucks. (sad face).... censorship sucks also :(

  • ebay is great... ebay only sucks to ignorant people who don't know the difference between a legit seller and a scammer... this is a lame rant for dumb people.

  • @orionsune There are plenty of scammers with 10,000+ sales. It all depends on if you give the seller 'trouble'. Like ask too many questions, or question their shipping date. To catch buyers, a seller has to have high ratings. Doing a little research (like finding that a buyer has shipped a large % of their sales in the immediate vicinity) helps. But it cannot totally protect you.

    Craigslist= Classified Ads online, and a hell of a lot less likely to get scammed!

  • Poster!!! Do us all a favor and delete your account from youtube so we wont watch your stupid videos accidently, lamest video ever

  • @enis35350

    ebay owns a portion of google stock, and google owns youtube, which is why they are blocking out the audio on this video, it's not the poster's fault, he's been duped by ebay like me :(

  • @enis35350 click on the link dunbass!!!

  • well dont destry ebay because i will be then be out of job/ i was looking for a job for along time and didnot find, had to borrow money from friends to live on but then found out ebay site and my only source of income is ebay and i can survive and pay all my bills + SAVE MONEY

  • all you need to do is look for 100% ebayers then buy items but do not pay, do 100 items from different sellers, lets all screw up ebay :O)

  • Any point to you shit video?

  • ebay and paypal a total disaster greedy mean and openly self centered!

  • We are all sick of ebays ways to do business!

  • @Forgerebay Use PayPal or drop dead. That's the ebay mantra.

    Could Egay be prosecuted under the RICO laws perhaps? They are running an illegal bank (PayPal) through a non-U.S. address.

  • Ebay sucks.

  • I know it's a bit technical but what about a clickable link? What is he saying? I dunno and now I've lost interest. How not to get your message across!

  • i am excellent at reading lip. here is what he is saying

    " please fondle my buttocks.

    please fondle my buttocks.

    please fondle my buttocks."

    lol

  • this has to be the stupidest thing I have ever seen, I'm not clicking a link, to get on a different web page and try to download filesw on your computer. Best of luck ralph.

  • garbage

  • I am a professional lip reader what he is saying is " I am a Nigerian prince living in the UK please send me money to get my fourtune back and I will reward you"

  • Powerseller32 use your common sense does this dude look afrikan? I see you one of those punks who sit their fat ass on the computer and type rubbish. You dig?

  • music so dumb

    ok, this is what i really want to say

    ya eBay may suck, but surprisingly enough a lot of people use it and getting rid of it may cause big problems, bigger than having it causes, so we need to fix the problems but keep eBay

  • ok i watched about half of the actual thing and i agree with that. some one who actual uses eBay and care about that stuff need to be working a high job in ebay

    all companies should be like that

    we want people who know what all of us think, not be all high and mighty, care about people who use it

    hmmm this is a weird thing for a teenager to be talking about

  • youtube is blocking all ebay rants now with this crap music!.. youtube is a joke sell out.

  • What shit music - what is this crap

  • And they think i don't know what they did....lol hope you miss that $450-$550 a month in fees ebay when i HALT selling on your site altogether, which will be soon after the others start picking up!

    DSR ratings SUK! I began FAILING shipping cost and offered ONLY FREE SHIPPING!

  • I sell on ebid net and ioffer com

    ebay decided to start putting my customer search priority on the bottom of the list and severely HALTED my sales. Went from average $1000-$1200 a month in sales to less than $300 a month OVERNIGHT!!!!

  • people i figured out ebay you have to add 30 bucks to your price and all the ebay fees will be paid without takeing from your item your sellin

  • GO to kazookz com and sell your products free,and get a free store.

  • Why can we not hear what he is saying but just some elevator music??

  • Ebay is the bigget RIP OFF

    I am really surprised that they are allowed to get away with their CON

    Specially in the UK.

    Ebay dictate what u can sell & what you cant sell as well as the postage you can & cannot charge ( bumbing the final value fees up)

    If companys brands can make Ebay stop selling their products, perhaps all the big well known corporation like DISNEY / WARNER / Sony Etc should also make ebay stop

    Then there would be no ebay. Try selling a Louis Vuitton bag & see what happens

  • ebay should not be acceptible anymore, they are mean greedy bastards, they left thinking about others.

  • e-Bay is now for big serious businesses. I do not buy or sell there any more. It has been so may illegal activities too and because they pay their ways to e-Bay, e-Bay closes its eyes on those international criminals. they charge money for every thing now. I go on other sites and I do as much and even better on other sites then on e-Bay! e-Bay is history! It used to be for peopel adn now it is for big businesses!

  • any chance of telling us what other sites there are as I have had enough of these greedy b***!!!  as well.

    many thanks

  • joe what happen to the story .bill

  • ebay have fucked up the feedback system. Why should a seller (who pays for the site) be unable to leave a negative for a bidder that fails to pay or is unable to understand what they are buying?

  • Could not hear it, went to link but that had been removed, downloaded to real player but sound still did not work

  • I wonder if anyone ever figured out how much of Meg's income was derived from the sales of forgeries. I bet that would be an interesting number.

  • Great video. This happened to me just recently. A buyer won one of my items, never paid for it (also lied about sending me payment) and Ebay will not remove the "negative" feedback left by the non-paying buyer. My exposing of sellers of fake autographed memorabilia has lost Ebay a lot of money and we all know they have made a ton of money on the sales of forgeries over the years. Remember, they were released of any responsibility for sellers that sold fakes from "Operation Bullpen."

  • Ebay are money scum sucking bastards, I hope the bastards that came up with this policy gets shot, ebay is all about greed, I had to pay a large sum of £3.39 for a £38 postage sold on ebay, that's like 9%, they even charged me 50p for item that I sold for £4.50p, no wonder they have been featured on so many watchdog tv programs.

  • Duh. Gee, lets get ALL the sellers to not accept bids from zero feedback buyers. Guess what, system collapses.

  • I also start hating eBay, eBay Policy, eBay DSR and PayPal the way they handled the transactions. Im a Power Seller bid-in-us, is there anything we can do?

  • eBay sucks now, I have been a member for 8 years and they limit my selling capabilities. i wish there were an alternative!

  • Are you still selling Items on Ebay??? If so you are not doing your Part. STOP SELLING ON EBAY !!! Find another means !!! If all the Sellers get together and Stop Selling For One Week or Even One Month...That is when the Change will have to take effect. EBAY has become the everyday corporate Pig who has Taken advantage of an Economy Crash & is trying to corner the only means for some to make what little money can be made and profit to the Maximum. Let's Blog and Start a Day for every 1 to Stop !

  • get a life loser, don't you have better things to think about, asshole

  • Its people like you that don't have a family who relies on sites like ebay to feed their families when there is no other alternative for work. Get A life yourself and Don't Judge things you do not take part in. It seems you have nothing better to comment on that this Video. So who is the loser? ...the losers are people with the mentality that you have that only care about what u pick and choose to be interesting/"worth it" .People like you are the ones who contribute to our current state.Grow Up

  • YOU SAID: "Its people like you that don't have a family who relies on sites like ebay to feed their families" ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS OR WHAT??? DUMBASS! THIS MAKES NO SENSE! SUCK A DICK!

  • Comment removed

  • Ebay and pay pal is a inside scam. DO NOT send u.s. postal money or money transfer to eBay sell, who only accept Pay Pal. I have been scam many time by eBay member. did receive item. BEWARE! of the IMPORT car parts seller. bunch of communist support holding hand with eBay. Pay pal don`t not accept any banks or account. EBAY IS THE EVIL-BAY.

    DON`T SHOP ON EBAY. SEEING IS BELIEVING

  • Boycott didn`t work. Need alternative auction site.

  • After 9 years I am DONE! Since the new "positive only" FB for buyers rule I have had nothing but BULLSHIT from assholes who RIP ME OFF and have Ebay on THEIR side! These jerks whine that the item is "not as described" and Ebay moves in and muscles me to give some sort of refund, or worse, they just DEDUCT IT FROM MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT! They don't even want to hear MY side despite the fact that my feedback prior to their new BS rule was 928, 100% positive! AND for THIS I'm the one PAYING FEES?!

  • They changed that rule because they said buyer were afraid to leave negative feedback to sellers because they might get some in return. SO WHAT! Now the buyers are simply using that rule to scare the sellers or take advantage.

  • Now, we cannot even leave negative feedback to buyers who 50% of the time, deserve some.

    I've received neutral and negative feedback saying "Good transaction" WHEN THE ITEM WASN'T EVEN SHIPPED OUT YET.

    What the fuck?

    Ebay won't do shit about it either since the feedback doesn't contain profane language or insults bla bla bla

    That's fucking ridiculous.

    Great rules eBay, go hang yourself, it'll just be the same!

  • Who cares if the guy with 0 feedback gets unpaid-item strikes and get his account banned, he'll just start a new one. On the other hand, if a seller loses his/her account, that person loses all her auctions and bids, all her feedback and reputation and have to start all over again.

  • You are so right. I've been selling on eBay for almost 9 months now and it's simply ridiculous. I can't imagine what a 5 or 10-year experienced seller must live.

    Ebay buyers have every right over sellers and we can't do shit about it. We (sellers) pay eBay and we make them live. They say without buyers you're nothing, well without sellers ebay's nothing either, and that is why eBay's dying.

  • That message was to Char675.. Bring it little man..

  • Faggot, who you calling faggot you white trash azz wipe? Bring it on kracker. Look at you talk big, foot up my azz. Oh no I am scared. Honky getting mean wit me. I am scared nightTrader..oh no. I bet you ride your bike without the seat, cuz you love to sit on dat middle vertical bar.

  • I agree some buyers are scumbags. I also consent to the idea some sellers are scumbags. It goes both ways. The ultamite concept of this practice was to encourage more buyers to come to ebay either as new users or returning ones. I will say it again, without buyers your eBay buisness is meaningless. You need them, the buyers do not nescessarily need you. You should think about that point more clearly.

  • Ebay is becoming terrible. They are so stupid they dont realize one thing: That some buyers are scumbags and only out to screw someone over with neg. feedback. Until they realize this, they will never be successful in the eyes of sellers.

  • You do realize that the purpose of the new policy is to stop the sellers from extorting potential new users right?? You also realize there is ways to block bidders right? Sellers drive bad buyer experience which in turn drives potential buyers away. This in turn kills you sellers and your buisness. You don't exist without buyers and ebay is doing there best to increase buyers.

  • they can lower the fees, but preventing 0 feedback buyer from being banned, it only drives up the total amoutn ebay recieves, so now we will see tons of out of america buyers doing this, hell ebay prolly ives them commision to do so. Everytime i go to sell a laptop, i have guys at last minute outbidding legitimate buyers and then not paying casueing me big time fess, and it takes forever to get it back. Ebay will does, trust me

  • watch your damm language terry2708. you stupid white trash, redneck, peckerwood. I am glad dat bitch didn't pay you. Maybe dat cunt saw you got a small cock and didn't want to buy your crappy stuff. You stupid white trash bitch.

  • special offer from ebay seller: next buyer who doesn't pay and leaves negative feedback gets a visit for the local militia, get a kicking and a smack round the ear and a nice black eye. Ebay sellers like me are getting pretty damn pissed with these pleb buyers.

  • This guy is right on the money. I have exactly the same problem selling on ebay. Pricks that don't pay at all, leave shit feedback. I had one bitch who didn't pay and left shit feedback. I think I should pay a visit to some of these cunts who don't pay me, fuckin smash em black and blue then make them pay my fees. Its a joke, an ebay auction is a binding agreement between buyer and seller. Sellers should fight back and send debt collectors to these cunts. Fuck ebay and their buyers.

  • I can't tell you the number of times I've had sellers waiting for me to leave them feedback before they leave my feedback. They do this to instill fear in the buyer so they will leave positive feedback for them There's NO other reason for sellers to wait to leave the buyer feedback. Many MANY times I buy something and it's COMPLETE garbage, yet I will have no choice but to leave them positive feedback. The next buyer sees my feedback and gets scammed as well...

  • This problem alone justifies the change that ebay made. You sellers are only upset because you have to step up your customer service to satisfy the buyer for once, and most aren't capable of doing this. You try use the excuse... "Now people with 0 feedback can bid and not pay...". This just makes me laugh at you. How often is this going to happen to you? Under the new rules, you would still be able to file a 'non paying bidder' report and be refunded and related fees. End of story.

  • are you wearing pants? I saw the desk lift 4 inches.

  • ur a fag im going to negate you just for the fun of it

  • I just negate you, white boy

  • I just blocked it.

  • Keep up the good work mate.

  • i like your video. im so mad at ebay right now. yesterday i put up 2 auctions. when i made another auction it now says i am restricted from selling anything because i need 4.1 stars on the 5 star feedback thing. i dont understand this because my feedback is 485 and 100 percent and im no longer allowed to put up auctions. ebay has ruined it for good sellers and dont care.

  • Come join us on Ecrater! No stars and no Paypal holds! Ebay should be booming in this economy, but as of now, stock has plunged to $14 a share. Buyers can find your items on Google searches just as easily as on Ebay. Make the break!

  • See video titled THE EBAY ECONOMY posted by "ebayinc" featuring DINESH LATHI1 He owns a condo in Palo Alto, Ca., zip 94306 (RIGHT DINESH?),that he paid over a MILLION dollars for, or should I say that we all helped pay for & me, just trying to CLOTHE & FEED MY HUNGRY BABIES1 I wonder if DINESH LATHI is HUNGRY, and buying HIS clothes(USED) from EBAY. See the video titled THE EBAY ECONOMY by ebayink

  • lol! i rather scam in ebay than sell something there now. ebay and paypal working together to get ur money anyways. ebay is good at helping seller. they help sellers get scammed big time.

  • Seriously sir. I feel your pain - ebay is a greed machine and getting pretty dicey, at best its a rough neighborhood. I gotta know though, if I were to start a site to replace ebay, would you be okay with a report of your income to the fed so taxes could be asessed? Most ebayers grip about fees and then don't pay any income tax...period, state or federal. Would you consent to a credit check to verify your identity? ID only. See the fee's and feedback are not the only problems. Answer please.

  • Donahoe sighting. Thanks.

  • the idea of no neg feedbak from a seler is that say 4example.

    i once bought gloves off ebay and they were really shit. nothing as described. so i gave the seller neg feedback. the seller also gave me neg. but what was his reason to give me neg feedback other than the fact i gave him neg feedback..

    but now as a seller, im selling a phone which was bought by a 0er who hasnt paid. its shitty. but cant really be fixed to help both parties. neg feedback would be good for sellers cos they pay though

  • I've been selling on ebay since 1999.I'm leaving.I had the worst year every with the dogmatic new policies,and new management,and the not so old"PREDATORY BUYERS"

  • I recently found out first hand what a scam paypal is when I sold $50 worth of legos. The buyer paid through paypal but the funds are frozen until the buyer A. recieves item (I had to ship at my own expense) and B. leaves positive feedback. If the buyer decides not to leave feedback or forgets I can't get my money for 21 days and if the buyer decides he doesn't like the item they can request a refund and paypal will return all money to them and the buyer doesn't even need to return the item. BS!

  • I am an Ebay seller myself and I think you are making a very nobel attempt.

    I don't have nearly as much feedback as you do but Ebay buyers have screwed me over to the point where I am almost considering closing my account.

    It sucks...Buyers don't read the damn auction auction terms and when they screw they arent held accountable like they should be and I get negative feedback when I have to play the "bad guy" and say I won't take checks or they didnt read the terms and they screwed up

  • ive lost 2 accounts because off so many negative feedbacks ,, after i culdnt sell anything .. soo i created another one im just waiting for my new debit card to come so i can finish setting up my ebay and get bak ,, btw i think the buyers shuld be responsible for not payinng ,, so i support u except im not american im from australia but im leb and no my items arnt stolen ppl lol

  • lets destroy ebay , neg every thing you buy, stamp was crooked =neg, handwriting was sloppy= neg em held me hostage till i was to scared to move fuck ebay and greedpal

  • thats what i would like to do by treating people with respect,not like criminals,the more the merrier leave the bay and find rest and peace in the harbor at bidonlots

  • I listed my car on ebay and the fees came to like $70.00. I received some bids, then all of a sudden this idiot clicks BUY IT NOW with 0 feedback and never pays for it. I dispute it, and told customer service which took them almost four days to respond and was no help at all. Now instead of $70.00 I owe $64.00 and I didn't sell the car on this freakin site. This happened before and I never thought it would happen again, I'm done with MEPAY.

  • anyone can list a car on bidonlots for free and there is only 1% end of auction fee,the site has been set up to help everyone sell things without the excessive pushing around and red tape

  • i am going to blackmail sellers to pay me 60$ if they dont i send negative feedback and say i was scammed lol. great way to make money and i hope u join me

  • That's right,the worst part is Ebay didn't even bother to consider that sellers are the ones who pick what features to use.So while buyers are paid from the sell of items to sellers,in which then payments are made to ebay and Paypal,it is the extra stuff that is dependent upon the seller to pick.

  • Thanks for this video... I am practically brand new to Ebay... and am glad I did some searching before I dove in ... looks like I might hold off on trying to get into it or at least spend a bunch more time getting setup to avoid some of the problems you and many others have pointed out here on youtube...

    Thanks again...

    NorvMan

  • man its not fair if u dont let o feedback holders to bid . there must be honest people starting. how were u at first when u were holding 0 feedback ? ? ?

  • Your right reebock it's not fair. BUT...it's ebay that is driving that behviours NOT the sellers. Sellers businesses are suffering becasue of what enbay is doing and at the end of the day they have family and kids to feed so they have to take their own measures to protect that. Its ebays job to come up with a fair system not the sellers.

  • im letting sellers leave negative feedbackfor none paying bidders, i too was suspended,WHY? because of a none paying or a none performing paying bidder,so the only thing to do was start a new auction site with everyone in mind,its not one sided but helps all who want to list for freeon bidonlots.the place to be

  • everyone has to start at 0,but they forget that they too had only 0 feedback,in any case ive done something about this lot,so its bidonlots the new auction site

  • As a buyer, I can use this system to my advantage. Thanks Ebay!

  • Not if nobody is selling, dummy!

  • Ebay is harboring resentment among sellers & buyers. Powerseller phone # is a bunch of ignorant asses that read off index cards. I have several accounts I use when I get a slacker that comes in & tells me how to run my business~if they sell, they should beware of me. I would never have considered this a year ago, but ebay doesn't give a shit about the sellers. I have to police my reputation on my own finding loopholes cuz I can't count on ebay to ever do the "right" thing.

  • I wouldnt pay $10 for that beagle

  • I joined EBAY in 1999... Now it is a complete piece of shit. I don't sell anymore and if I want to buy something it's "Buy It Now" with posted shipping charges ONLY... Shill bidding killed it for me... Ebay's digusting greed was evident in the fact that they did nothing to stop the shill bidding problem... why would they? Higher priced auctions mean more profits for Ebay... no reason to stop the shill bids... My reason for leaving....

  • With all these changes (including the recent announced fee changes), all I can say is there are other options - this being my one of choice - eBid. No listing fee's, a very small final value fee, and a good feedback system.

  • What's with the 'buyer vs. seller' mentality? You don't get to shoot your customers in a brick & mortar if you don't like them. Attacking potential business is asinine. As an established Powerseller since '98, I welcome the change. Buyers are less fearful, thus we get more sales. If NPBs and scammers are harming your bottom line, YOU'RE doing something wrong. Try putting energy into decent customer service instead of this insane paranoia. (eBay is bringing back FB withdrawal anyway.)

  • I had a couple of seller account and after this changes I stopped all of them and selling nothing trough ebay anymore. I was selling the items sometimes less than that I bpught but ebay was still winning even I loss money!!! Because their policy protect only themselves thats all. Please let me know if you establish any union against ebay.

  • Right on brother. I just had begun. One guy, out of my apt. in Gloucester Massachusetts. I kept selling until, after five years on board, I got my first ever non paying bidder. I withdrew everything. Now I'm going back on, and listing all fees and charges, which are to be eaten by the buyers, including final value fee. If they want my stuff they've got to pay the extortion, not me. As to my %, I no longer care and it no longer makes any difference anyway. It is an empty statistic.

    Hats off, Sir.

  • And now there inacting a low that sellers can no longer accept money orders or checks but must use paypal or a credit card? What? I'm a long time seller who finds this totally ridiculous. The own Paypal for heavens sake...What a bunch of greedy bastards.

  • I don't know what you mean by "the buyers don't pay fees": the fees buyers pay are reflected in the sellers' prices! And yes, I too have gotten ripped off by a seller, left negative feedback, only to have unwarranted retaliatory feedback left for me. I also have suspected shill bidders when purchasing something. EBay is just a flawed system: when one can easily find ways around controls for such things the system is just plain flawed.

  • I've listened and read quite a few cases put forward from sellers, it does indeed sound like these changes are killing selling on ebay, however, as per my previous comment the system does indeed need an overhaul, the vast majority of buyers (myself included) did not leave negative feedback even when deserved for fear of retaliatory negative feedback.

  • I think the feedback system was poor, I'm not saying the changes they made were ideal, but many sellers were taking advantage of buyers too easily. I myself bought something advertised as "new", when it arrived it was obviously second hand (filthy and badly scratched) when I left negative feedback the seller then left me negative feedback, I fulfilled all of my buyer responsibilites and yet I got a negative feedback rating?

    The end result was that I never left negative feedback ever again.

  • I totally agree with redrosecounty.

  • NYC 7-28-2008

    Crazy,

    Is it possible to get your contacts to write to Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward to stop Mr. Newmans Driver from auctioning Mr. Newmans Helmet on sleeze bay.

    Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward

    1120 5th Avenue (Penthouse)

    NYC NY 10128

    They are down to earth people and get all their mail. There is a courier that brings them their mail to Westport when they are not in NYC on a daily basis.

    Please let them know Mr. Newman is in our prayers.

  • why not put a daily bidding limit on people with low feedback. like if ou have 0-5 you can only bid on say 1 item every day or so, and until you reach 10, you will get immediately suspended if you do not pay for an item. ebay claims it's against policy, so why are they so reluctant to dish out consequences. gah! also they shoud make it harder to re-register. i have 3 accounts, one has a false address and 2 have the same phone number and cardholder name. imagine if i was a scammer...

  • Use GeeeWhiz to hit back eBay's new feedback system!

  • I so hate ebay. I use to love it back in 2002 when I started, and now I hate it because they had suspended me for life. I hate ebay because they never reinstate you.. bewarned too if sellers give you item strikes. I had way to many when I canceled a lot of ebay items last year in 2007. F**K ebay for suspension me. EBAY IS NOT A CANCELIZATION SITE... not like Walmart, Toys R Us, Collector's Cache, ToyWiz, Target, etc... BEWARE. you never get reinstated... ebay does not reply.

  • Just re-register......very easy!

  • um, how is anyone supposed to be able to buy anything if everyone decides to cancel folks with 0 feedback? You're a joke. And a whiner.

  • AMEN !

  • Unite...Use EBid, thats where the rest of us are going...Meet you there.

  • ebays new feedback system sucks im in danger of gettin bad feedback some retarted buyer!!!!

  • I am a Ebay BUYER not a SELLER, I can assure you that a majority of BUYERS who your never hear from here think these changes represent a good thing for them. No more retalitory feedback or threats of it from deadbeat sellers who rip them off with a poor product.

  • In the jungle of commerce,the buyer is king if you don't like what Ebay has done don't trade there,simple as that.Without buyers no one eats.Some of you sellers need to wake up and smell the coffee!you have to keep buyers happy with good products,service and communications.Ebay needs buyers more then sellers and are now confirming this with these changes.The Buyer is King on Ebay now,You cant bully them with retaliatory negative feedback any longer.Deadbeat sellers better get their act together!

  • I agree with you to a point. People are afraid of retailitory feedback...but there has to be something to protect sellers too. There are many hardworking honest sellers that can get screwed. There has to be some sort of compromise.

  • I meet you halfway on this,There are deadbeat buyers as well,However buyers have to have the whip hand over sellers The buyer makes the market.Good sellers who try to sort out problems will overcome this.I have seen some awlfully insulting feedback from some sellers on buyers feedback pages over the years.This has the result of putting off future sellers who the buyer deals with,this results in the buyer cut off or moving off ebay to Amazon etc to do deals.A trade on ebay has to favour the buyer

  • wow, not only do u have ur nose up ebay's ass you also have your tongue deep in it.

  • its says your age is 33 on your profile, surely from that comment you must be a lot younger or very immature?I notice your American,renown the world over for foul lanuage and bad manners.You have just reinforced that view to the viewing world.I am tired of listening to sellers who have made a nice profit from Ebay over the years complain and bite the hand thats keeping them in a better lifestyle then they would have without the website,its simple life is short,if your tired of Ebay don't use it.

  • And you assuming negative things about an individual has something to do with the fact they are 'American' is equally immature. Perhaps you could see this? You are caught up in the 'Hate Americans because it's in style'. A mature person would have kept the nationality out of the equation. I'm sure everyone in the UK is just perfect and uses no bad language?

  • Buyer is king?How much work is involved as a buyer, CLICK and PAY and WAIT wow you did so much work! You really must be king!Seller bend over backwards to please buyers, Look at any store, any resturant, any business, you know how hard it is with the competition? The ability to organize and manage finances?If the buyer is king how come just about every store has the right to refuse service?The buyers complaining about retalitory feedback is a myth, a serious seller has no time to play games.

  • Joe,Ever heard the saying "The customer is king"? you may not like it but the buyer/customer has the money you and Ebay desire, therefore you give him/her good service/product. Joe you and I know some sellers do indulge retalitory neg feedback, in fact I was threatned with it myself when I had not even mentioned feedback to the seller. some sellers are hard working and honest, others are not, selling fake/broken products. Finally Joe You will not find many buyers up in arms about these changes

  • buyer is king well I'd really like to see you buy a hamburger if every resturant is closed in town. I'd like to see how far you get in a Walmart if you start telling everyone and screaming buyer is king in their store? It doesn't work You can say and do what you want on the internet because of annonmity. But if there is no balance, no fairness, no way to tell the mental state of a buyer, such as the situation they have created on Ebay, no one will sell to you or anyone else. The boycott is on!
