  • Ever wonder what scores Ebay itself would get from its users if they had a venue to actually rate the company, similar to the way those users get rated in the Ebay DSR system? Go to rateebay and notice that Ebay scores a 6.7 (out of 100) accross a broad spectrum of parameters including customer service, fee structure, overall experience, etc. On a 5 star system they average about 1 and a half stars. A score of less than 4.8 stars gets a user kicked off of Ebay.

  • I've said it once and I'll say it again- IF and WHEN a viable alternative to eBay comes along, when ONE site is chosen by all the displaced sellers (rather than 20 sites), Ebay will become an online ghost town overnight because the exodus will be so massive and complete that there will be no undoing it, no rebuilding it. Soon thereafter the share price will drop like a rock and investors will bail. Conditions are ripe for a new alternative to Ebay to emerge which appreciates its sellers.

  • I used to make my living off ebay with my artworks ... their idiotic 2008 changes ruined that and I was forced to get into credit card debt after that because I had to get by ... That smug 10 million dollar a year idiot Donahoe is such an typical ass CEO and is the ruination of peoples incomes all for his own agenda ... I have now opened my eyes and see how "Corporatism" is a horrible mental illness of "make money at any cost" ... hopefully society will advance beyond the greed of the 1% elites

  • part ... I struggle with my anger because I am in serious financial problems now (considering bankrupcy). I've tried to hang in there and also go more local but it's not the same. This Jan/Feb 2011 has been the worst and I can't afford some bills. But I try to not to get attached to annoyance. Everything changes and there are ups and downs and you are forced to learn lessons by what happens on your path. Sometimes I'm angry but I also wish these CEO's would get over their horrible ego-trips

  • Ebay Sucks , I bought some xbox 360 games and the seller sent them to my house in Florida 1 week after I made payment , i sent him messages and he did not answer anyone. Then the videogames arrived to my house , the seller did not say anything about why shipping was so slow . Ebay Sucks !! Oh and by the way 1 game he sent was scratch.

  • eBay is NOT the same.. eBay is now the worst EVER and I been selling on there for years 6,000+.. Boycot ebay or they get a new CEO

  • hey everyone go over to ebid dot net. thats where all the ebayers are going... screw feebay

  • 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

  • ebay is absolutly going down the pan and im totally for it theyve pissed me off and alot of other sellers for long enoug,h down with ebay

  • Many of us have NOT sold on ebay for nearly three years since John Donahoe and his gang took over ebay and messed it up. We tried to fix ebay, but JHoe flushed it down the shitter. It's been over two years since we did the boycott ebay for change as a team. thewizlives (dfnwiz) llyndalee canlaugh (cancars2) paypalgoindown (tracysplace) crazeenydriver doinkblink (me) and others were a team that exposed ebay's BS. Torpino (thet0rp) and showcasemerchantdise opposed us, and still do to this day.

  • No more Ebay Live, because Ebay is DEAD. Killed by its own greed.

  • omg this is a priceless capture. thank you so much!

  • I think buyers have more to loose than sellers,,, u got to admit,,,when a seller post an item they bought for 5 bucks and it brings 50 bucks in bids,,,,when its all said and done for the seller,, he is really out only 5 bucks,,but the buyer would be out 50 bucks in the end!

  • Ebay is full of scammers. I would not do business there.

  • @ dollar-doctor . com it shows how to make money online

  • lol some video wow

  • fight them back by courts and trading standards and leaving notes all over here.

  • ebay is crap and nothing good comes unless you sell items no more than £5,crap service,forcing us to use the worse than them paypal who are gangs gives nothing and in the long term you will regret even buying or selling from them,use others who are even free like ebid,amazon,payapl can even access your account and then denies as i am taking them to court. the best do not use ebay or paypal they are own by the same crap both are thieves,

  • eBay is horrible. I am so upset with them. I can't stand them no more!

  • Did he just ask that ebay seller "Whats your f''king point?" 0.0 or maybe i heard that wrong.

  • Ebay reps stand up on the podium spewing forth company rhetoric reminiscent of the projectile-vomit scene from Exorcist- as fast as they possibly can, and one guy stands up to them- You go, man! And not many more than one guy is in the room because of such widespread disgust by Ebay users- so Chicago's Ebay Live was more like Ebay Deceased. John Donahoe has KILLED Ebay and sent millions of its customers away. How idiotic does a CEO have to be to achieve this in less than 2 years time?

  • zombiebay.

    LOL

  • ** Unwinding Ebay and Paypal **

    Ebay programaticly suspends ebay user accounts and freezes paypal funds while researching issues. Paypal (ebay owns 20% of Paypal) funds are frozen for around 21 days with Paypal and Ebay earning interest. Ebay offers no telephone support.

    Ebay business processes and lack of customer support have impacted many customers. A successful class action lawsuit was filed against Paypal in 2003 for frozen funds. A similar class action lawsuit is likely in 2009.

  • lmmfao

  • razor nothing is happening on ioffer either....

  • I used to work at eBay before John Donahoe took the reigns and I can say that the way things are going, eBay will be completely out of business in the next 5 years. It has gone from the internet's greatest marketplace into a joke. I'm glad I'm not working there anymore.

  • Ebay has canceled the 2009 event. I wonder what will happen for 2010? Anyone have any news on an ebay love 2010?

  • Comment removed

  • @mindspinguy take payments without paypal here youtube.com/watch?v=WEvMV_xKGl­0

  • ebay stock price 17.18 , june 17.09. ebay stock holders should be concerned. John (dip shit) Donahue will drive it lower, no doubt.

  • True, and I would actually say that $17 is HIGH for this stock. It's being driven up by hopefuls that believe some of Ebay's acquisitions such as Paypal and Stubhub will carry it, but that's like hoping that GM would be successful because it owned SAAB or Hummer. Those companies are subject to failure, too. Then there's no CORE BUSINESS to hang their hats on.

  • And I wonder when Ebay will host another Ebay LIVE...ha. Ebay management is too chicken-s*&+ to face their members after what they've done. The outburst in this video would be mild compared to what would spew forth from those that have been plowed under by Donahoe's policies. There might even be a riot. That would be beautiful and would make big headlines..bring Ebay and their monopolistic bullying of the little people to the forefront for all to see.

  • Part 2. If eBay per share was worth $354.25, and is now currently trading at $18.24 a share, perhaps all the changes you've made to make eBay a better experience, (LOL!) isn't quite the experience or outcome you were hoping for! What is eBay without sellers? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

  • Part 1. Dear eBay. Despite all of your so called enhancements, you are NOT, and will NEVER be AMAZON! Need further clarification or proof? As of 6-1-09, AMAZON is currently trading at $83.05 a share. You!, meaning eBay, is currently trading a $18.24 a share. What happened? What went wrong? Don't you miss the days when you, eBay, was trading at an all time high of $354.25 a share?

  • I'm an eBay seller since '98, 5,700+pos feedback @ 99.99%. How did eBay kill my willingness to promote the site to new sellers AND buyers? eBay made it VERBOTEN to pay w/ cash, ck OR money order. PAYPAL or credit card ONLY. Bye, bye to 15% of my business. To eBay management I say: You overpaid jerks have alienated your base by making eBay JUST LIKE all the rest. You killed the unique spirit that made eBay an event. I'll make and spend my $'s elsewhere.

    Up yours eBay!!!

  • im a web designer and rent eshops.

    If anyone has a good range of products (new only), perhaps ebay sellers, and you want to have your won website but cant afford it, i might be able to help.

    I will just charge AFTER it starts making money. Then you dont pay any ebay fees, just a monthly rental to me. Im looking for ink cartridges, and other stuff, but you must already be selling on ebay or somewhere, so we can understand each other. I will want money, but not like ebay.

    cheers,

    mike

  • Buy or sell your stuff at: iOFFER

  • Ebay are selfish moneygrabbers who have no protected me

    Waste of time - and shame on them

  • I wanted to say also, as a buyer myself, The new search thing they do, you just cant find things anymore.. its just NOT user friendly.. they are going down, its just a matter of time.. If i had stock,,, I would sell it fast... before you loose all your money...

  • Ebay Sucks, after all the changes made I had to close my store, They said they lowered fees Ha.. they raised them, trying to fool us, thats when I new they were a horrible company not to mention paypal they own it.. They take all profits they make more than USPS,, They suck, my question is , is where are all the sellers moving to.. cuz im joining the bandwagon????

  • fuck ebay.....

  • goggle should make a platform like ebay, and kill the ebay today...

  • The new ebay moters stinks, I am a buyer and I hate it. They have lost their way.

  • I'd like to buy this guy a drink!

    eBay and PayPal suck

    Good riddance!

  • no ebay 2009 or 2010 either.. hippy!!!.. Wow I sold 1 thing this month on ebay and my funds got held.. hahahah this venue sucks. I don't know why I keep posting stuff for sale I'm wasting my time. Good thing I make 80 bucks an hour at the big 3.

  • fuck you ebay, worthless cunts

  • 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

  • he is right :(

  • EBAY SUCKS ASS !

  • sad the guy is right.......... for the largest Ebay conference in the USA those seats are looking very empty. From what I heard they wont even be hosting it again due to lack of people turning up.

  • May be the case....but then again, perhaps they're afraid people WILL show up. Since Ebay Live 2008 in June, policies have gotten even worse towards sellers. I've cleared out my inventory and don't plan to be back - ever. And that's $3500-4000/yr Ebay will not be getting. And I'm just one of many Ebay considers a "Small Fry"- but enough of us make a big difference, as evidenced by Ebay's stock price and recent earnings reports.

  • same & i was selling 5-6k per month

  • My Friend in a mailman.He said about a year ago,he would deliver atleast 100 to 150 ebay packages a week.He said the other day he might deliver 5 a week now.I stopped selling when fees went to 26% What the fuck were they thinking?

  • Thomasandtanga: how would the postman even know if it was an ebay package? It comes from a seller and goes to a buyer - there's no discernable mention on the package that it is from eBay. What am I missing in your inferrence or anecdote?

  • Most people,atleast90 % print their lables thru paypal.The lable says ebay and paypal on it.

  • I sued paypal in NYC small claims for 4100 and won and got a check. They did try to threaten me and i laughed it off. If you have paypal issue, sue them, you will win and they will call you and threaten you with bogus claims and counter suits, its all to scare you, its easy to sue them do it, and dont believe them when they press you to drop, once u drop ur done

  • this i think as well, we need another couple of website auctions to take ebay down a step or two. smaller sellers are getting put off from running a basic shop, im one of them, my fees have doubled plus insertion fees/picture fees are crazy money. i only sell my own items that i had lying around so why should we people who dont sell much at all get slapped with silly fees. its not worth it, well done ebay youve lost another seller, keep it up, and youl be going under, silly fat cats.

  • I see alot of people on here, along with me agree that Ebay fee structure is driving alot of smaller sellers out of business. If you really want to hurt ebay then start getting your customers to visit some of thes other auction sites. Bonanzle is a great site that im telling my sellers about. Go anywhere else and spread a little money somewhere other then Ebay. The loss of Money is the only thing that is going to change Ebay back to the way it was.

  • Now that's flipping hilarious.

  • ebay is doing my f**king head in! Now they have changed how much I can charge for P&P. Sellers like me are gettin so fed up and stop selling.

    They are only interested in the ebay shops that make them loads of money, not the little guy selling the odd CD or DVD. Its a bit like the world in general!

    is there any other auction sites on the net, cos i for one would try it as i'm sick of these ebay b******s!!!

  • The fact that we, as sellers, already take a hit in the final value fee from eBay & then ALSO take a hit from PayPal is 100% bogus. There should be ONE fee if any at all. PayPal takes the biggest chunk & after all is said & done you never see the actual amount the person paid for the item & then some, you're lucky if you see half of it. It's a farce & maybe some day ebay will be caught on this & moderated reasonably because they're screwing over their sellers.

  • Im a seller in ebay and locally and what i have seen from paypal fees and holding the money until the person leaves a positive feedback it is annoying to any sellers buy makes me feel saver as a buyer.

  • What kills me is this trying to forced Ebay sellers to use Paypal for all their transactions. In australia the gov. and the people shot it down. In England Ebay doesnt force their users to accept only Paypal, then why are they doing it here. Ebay squeezes your tit until it turns purple and they still want more. It doesnt seem like a wise business choice to alienate your biggest sources of income.

  • google already has google checkout. but hello googe, where is the auction site to go with it?

    dont you want to make money?

  • I actual read a article about Google. opening up some kind of center in Arizona and are working on auction software of some sort. I hope they do come up with a auction site.

  • theyre been talking about it since 2005. almost 4 years and nothing. it doesnt take that long.

    the question is is google just flapping their gums for publicity or are they really going to open it?

    something has to be done to get rid of ebay. sellers need a legitimate auction auction site that is fair and stable for their business and they need one fast.

  • Well when something comes along, I will be the first one to give Ebay the finger and move on. I figure Ebay's policies have cost me about 50 percent of my normal profit magin over the last two years. I basically work for them now...Ebay sucks.

  • ebays new policy, well paypal's they have a 21 day hold on your paypal funds if you sell something. saying you have to send it quickly and you get paid if:

    1. the buyer leaves a positive feedback

    2. ups tracking shows they recieved it

    if they file a grievance or chargeback you could still be out the money that you were promised. paypal will negative your account. i just sold a laptop on ebay and now i have the 21 day hold. I dont evne have the money to ship the dang thing. Its a bunch of BS

  • The same thing happened to me. My paypaland bank account was at a $0 balance with $10 in the bank when I received a payment from a customer and they held the entire ammount including shipping so there was no way to ship the item since the shipping cost more then I had and the customer had already paid for shipping. What else am I supposed to do? maybe they should have renamed it to idiotbay.

  • I know Paypal has pulled this crap on me three times. What right does paypal have to hold my money? Paypal and Ebay, the same corporation and all a bunch of thieves.

  • I have the ebay live help link on my video guys!!

  • will somebody please explain what ebay has done to make these people mad....it is not apparent in this video

  • Ebay is forcing their sellers to use their online bank Paypal for transactions. The thing is since Ebay owns Paypal, they get on top of all their various other fees, a fee for using this service. That a a slew of other chances have ruined sellers on Ebay.

  • Hey, not to be ignorant, but why are people saying ebay is bad and not to use it?

  • We were liberated tonight. Closed 2 accounts and paypal accounts as well!!!!!

  • All sellers should unite and start their own Auction site to counter ebay. I know it can be done!

  • NO EBAY FOR XMASS, SELLERS PULLING OUT!

    Pull all your stores and listings for DEC, don't sell, DSR's will suspend your accounts!.

    No one will be selling, this is a boycot, pass it along.

  • eBay baaad!

  • it's pretty freaking stupid what eBay has done. I was a powerseller.. and an advocate for eBay.. I really pushed them.. but man, they JUST SUCK lately.

  • What about the news that any form of payment other than PayPal is banned from ebay? Please leave me a message about this,,,,Thanks,.

  • ya unless your a long time user, there is a glitch, but soon only paypal will be allowed

  • Many EBAYERS that are still using ebay, can ALSO check out where many are going and selling while they are still selling with ebay, as some not able or ready to close ebay account. you can ALSO sell on bonanzle, atomic Mall, etsy, blujay, and many more, most with little or NO FEES and PAYPAL not "REQUIRED". ALSO, you can transfer your feedbacks from ebay to show in these others you may be using, as many are now moving to these and have stopped ebay completely.

  • Hey everybody CESAR TAPIA also known as Fallen_da sold me a part for my golf cart on ebay. The picture of the part(taken on someone's driveway, I think) was not the one I got and the one he did send was broken. He won't respond to my emails.

    Please let everyone know that he has done this to me. Maybe he will finally respond to my emails and make it right.

  • If he sold you a bogus part and he has not responded you should file a grievance with Ebay about him...

  • I am a power seller who is finds alot of what Ebay has done, very bad business sense. I'm not sure who is running the show over there but alienating the sellers is just poor business sense. When google opens up their auction sight Ebay is toast..

  • Hi there...I'm a seller as well here in Spain...if we stick together and create a sort of blog or website collecting signature we could convice google to open up a auction site.

    For God's sake we need urgently somebody big to give eBay what they deserve!!!

  • Yahoo needs to open up an auction site again; when they do, ebay will collapse OVERNIGHT for sure

  • The creeps in charge of ebay have run it into the ground.

  • too bad the acoustics in that room are so lousy, what with the echo. have the feeling I agree with the guy yelling *100%*, and -really- wish I COULD hear him better.

    ebay basically gets worse and worse. they're gonna 'tweak' the business right out of EXISTENCE. google needs to open up an auction site; when they do, ebay will collapse OVERNIGHT

  • Hey basically said eBay is putting sellers out of business overnight.

    He then stood up and said DSRs don't matter anymore because he has powerseller accounts with thousands of ratings, but he can open a new account and outsell his powerseller account.

    TaleHook verified this is what he said, and verified an article that spoke about this video and how he was opening new accounts daily to sell on eBay... because it was the only way to work around the crappy system.

  • Yup. You need two accounts. One to work in, and one to lay fallow while the working account goes bad through dsr's. W

    And there's no way to prevent competitors from bombing your account. One negative can slow down sales for days.

    Ebay has corrected some things, like dsrs now can go to 4.1, not 4.3. And they're making talk about making buyers accountable. Maybe they'll continue.

  • Ebay management doesn't care if its New Age experiments destroy the company. They've made their billions.

    And the techies who work at Ebay won't care; they'll just hike their 20-something asses to screw up some other companies.

    It's sellers the world over who depend on Ebay to survive who will suffer. The disabled, pensioners, laid off, home schooling Moms, etc.

    Will the Feds be there to bail all those sellers out when Ebay management is done playing around?

  • Gold powerseller since 2000 , ive now been suspended due to a negative recieved due to a buyer not getting my messages because they were caught in a spamfilter.Sellers have no protection and MOST items on ebay are FAKES.

    Dont buy from ebay, theyve been dragged through countless courts over their fraudulent business practices.

    I wont buy from ebay and i wont sell from ebay any longer.

  • That have the mentality that if they keep the seller jumping through hoops they will do all they can to satisfy the buyer, but the hoops they are making us jump through are ridiculous and do nothing but make a (once good venue)nothing but a venue we all want to leave. Their attitude is, if they have 1 million buyers and sellers unhappy with the system, they have 19 million more that are not and that is ok with them and that you should just leave. Nice business model if you ask me.

  • eBay used to be O.K. now the new management wants to make it a candyland for morons.

    As a seller I have seen a huge increase of non-paying-bidders, whiners, and morons trying to make their own rules.

    I also got suspended for selling a 1960's kids cap gun, a toy that every kid on the block had when I was young. eBay claimed "replica firearm ??"

    Well, I hope that somebody comes out with a decent site where people can buy and sell without all the B.S.

  • ebay makes money from sellers, not from buyers.

    The New ebay CEO is a sucker who thinks as long as ebay has buyers, sellers will have to beg him to get a place to sell their stuffs.

    This ebay CEO is a very stupid idiot.

    If sellers are gone, do you think buyers will come to ebay?

    Because there are numerous places to sell good stuffs.

    ebay, now is a famous place to buy FAKE designers' items.

    Who wants to go to a shopping mall with lots of fake goods?

    Buyers leave ebay now.

  • to ebay employees who just lost their jobs.

    Because ebay sucks. It is good for you all to lose your job now. It is still easy to find another job.

    The day when ebay's name is so smelly and stinky, no other companies will employ ex-ebay employees anymore.

    Advise to present ebay employees, if you can leave now, leave and get another jobs before it is too late.

    paypal is NOT governed by Financial Acts, paypal can fly-by-night.

    What protection paypal users have?

    Don't use paypal.

  • ebay stock price is coming down, coming down coming down.

    ebay business is coming down, because it sucks.

    Well, everyone is aware of ebay new CEO sucks.

    He changed lots of policies that offened lots & lots of sellers. So sellers left ebay.

    He thinks buyers let ebay make money.

    He is very very wrong. Stupid thinking.

    Sellers pay fees and commissions.

    Without sellers, buyers would not come.

    ebay shareholders must act now to kick the CEO out, if not ebay will be a penny stock one day.

  • I made a comment on one of these vids on Youtube that if you were an eBay employees, you better get your resume ready a long time ago, before the first seller strike. Well, see what happened today???..........LOOOOLLL There will be more to come bitches!!!

  • Take a look at Ebay stock. Even before the crash, it had tanked to 1/3 of the value it was a few years back. I wish I had the money to go to Chicago and say the things this brave man did, but I was discarded like the tens of thousands of others and was lucky to make the rent last month. Shame on these terrible people! I can't believe their short sightedness. How the mighty have fallen!

  • Ebay is purposefully driving away their auction traffic. Big mistake. They want to be more like Amazon, but Amazon's way ahead of them at what Amazon does. Folks at Amazon like Amazon. NOBODY likes Ebay anymore. If Ebay does not change its policies back and completely boot out the idiot management soon, irreversable damage will be done. They have, just this year, lost tens of thousands of good sellers and it's already getting tough to find the unique auction stuff Ebay was once known for.

  • need more people to stand up like this, to open these idiots eyes.

  • Hope I'm never desperate enough to be forced to work for a company like Ebay. Hope my soul is worth more than that. There can't be a single employee at Ebay who doesn't recognize that to earn their paycheck they have to lie and scam little old ladies and people who are barely getting by.

  • ebay are fuckin scum and if i ever see the owners i promise they will be sorry fuckin wankers

  • Has anyone tried the Great Experiment? Do it at your peril. Put on an Ebay shirt & see if you lose your mind & ethics.

    I tried it.

    Kicked my dog, pissed on the neighbor's car tires and blamed my neighbor for global warming(he sells bootleg Judge Judy tapes on Ebay). That was in the first half hr.

    By the time my wife tore the shirt off my back I was praising Republicans & wanted to plug Miss Piggy.

    What an experience. Best thing about Palin is that she's not Meg.

  • Ebay are bastards! Policy driven scum! A faceless and inhuman totalitarian empire!

  • Paul Newman asked to keep legacy from ebay

  • Paul Newman asked to keep legacy from ebay

  • All of this just points to one thing, Disloyalty to Core users. No more investor confidence. Ebay Stock as of posting time is sinking- $22.70 and continues to sink.

  • With all the changes (including the recent announced fee changes), all I can say is there are other options than greedbay - eBid being my one of choice. No listing fee's, a very small final value fee (no FVF if you dont use a thumbnail pic in the gallery), and a good feedback system. Plus you also have the option to use google checkout, PPPay or Paypal.

    Let's make eBid the NEW best auction site.

  • It's seems very few carry the load for the ebay dissenters. Where did they all go? Ebay is offending more and morer sellers, and even buyers with all the disputes and crazy rules. The S&B won't get help from ebay chat, they'll get suspended. There was a growing group here on Youtube, but they not here now! Did they give up? Very few doin' a poor job of it. Many sellers look without comment, they need information. Where else can they go? OLA . COM? Where's the helpers?

  • Its on one of the announcement boards and the discussion forums. At least now a neutral feedback will not count against a seller's overall percentage and score.

  • It never did count against your score.

  • you are wrong. they are hiding the details from you again. neutral will count towards DSR, i.e. 5%+ neutral + meg = you're outta here!

  • yoou're tools!

  • This guy makes so much sense and everyone sits there like a bunch of idiots listening to some punk say it's his opinion. They all should have walked out.

    ebay counts on confusion and has profited billions shooting one off the other and pretending like they care soooooooo much.

  • Ebay Spokesperson: "We're giving sellers all the transparency that we can." What ? What the hell does that mean? Ebay needs some adults to run their business instead of buzzword-wielding college kids that have never sold on Ebay and never intend to. In fact, it needs those same kinds of people in their boardrooms. This latest crew is the biggest joke I've ever seen run any large company....and I used to work for a large telecom so I have seen some stupid s*%#!

  • You speaka the truth, well said! Many on here have wisdom that can help a lot of people getting screwed by the big E. What I think is stupid is how so many on ebay are exclusively ebay? WHO ONLY EBAY? Especially buyers? And why to sellers subject themselves to the ebay abuse? Try other sites too, look on many, not just ebay people! Spread your wings and get out of the rats nest. Try OLA . COM, it's very cheap to sell on, and they NEED the buyers support. Go beyond ebay folks!

  • When you sell on ebay, you work for ebay. You do not work for yourself. Its like any other job. Only the guys who purchase junk or otherwise in huge lots can survive. Everyone interested in participating in a free market should find another way to sell your unique goods. I say avoid ebay for the same reasons you should avoid walmart. Close them down!

  • ebay is the biggest thief ever. they gave 500 million to meg and now they pawn it off on the sellers. terrible

  • It's doomsday for ebay. JHoe took over and his changes messed everything up. Ebay is going down the toilet like crap! It is not the only place. Many have gone to other sites. Ebay is going down, OLA is going up up up! o n l i n e a u c t i o n s . c o m is the place to be! Come, join us with our YT boycott group: FREE SPEECH EBAY OUTLET welcome!
  • Someone please cover the livesimon web site. I am tired of being pissed on by ebay.

  • If someone burned down your house, they'd be prosecuted & imprisoned, but on a whim Ebay's billionaire managers and a few of their smart ass employees can destroy your livelihood and cause you to lose your house, and they're invincible.

    The only way to make Ebay accountable to the public is through federal action. Ebay must be broken up into several separate companies. Only when they lose their monopoly will the market function fairly for everyone.

  • Ebay put me outta business....Ovah-night !!!

  • I wonder if the rank n file at Ebay is an unethical as management? I've worked for some jerks over the years, but never for a company that was morally bankrupt. Can't imagine what that'd be like.

  • I worked for eBay from 99 to 05 and I have to say they really lost their focus after the Skype deal.They really forgot what they did better then anyone and that was bring people together. The feedback system needed some tinkering, but now they really went a little overboard.. What is really helping eBay right now is PayPal. That is really the only growth instrument they have going well for them at this time.

  • Funny thing, was Skype JHoe's pet project?

    Can they turn on the cam and mic at will?

    Is Big brother, JHoe, really watching YOU without your awareness? My confuser laggs on ebay, are they monitoring every thing that goes on my monitor? HMM!

  • I am telling one I know not to use Paypal, it's the worst online commerce company I have used after eBay bought it. The whole new 21 day hold on the funds are almost criminal! Tell everyone use GOOGLE CHECKOUT!!!

  • i use ebay and paypal, but i'm definitely clueless about this, what 21 day hold?

  • If you have less than 100 feedback in your profile, Paypal (an ebay company) will hold the funds until the seller leave you a positive feedback or you can prove that the item has been delivered via delivery confirmation number

  • doesnt paypal sell your information?

  • OMG the ebay gang has kidnapped "Canlaugh".

    No videos, no youtube ID, etc.

    Some one check ebay's trailer-QUICK!!!

  • Check out EWAEY!! The new equal and HONEST auction site! Only $1 gets you a lifetime membership with NO SITE FEES FOR LIFE!

  • Ebay is INDEED going fast - did you all see the quarter financials released this week?

    DOWN 14% and all the evidence of "manipulating the stock" so that it looked at least THAT good.

    The reality of eBay is far worse, and financeer with a brain can see that.

    If the last few people at eBay with a brain had ANY sense, they would demote Donahoe IMMEDIATELY.

    What is eBay with no sellers?

    And you CANT build a business with newbs just finding their way to the 'Net now! IDIOTS!

  • Totally I agree! They run a billion dollar company like a high school project, makes me sick to see morons like them ruining a good company that provided so much for many people!

  • Trust is what built ebay. ebay still thinks trust is sooooooooooooo important. I bet they do. There feeling it now. ebay trusted that everyone would be a sucker and stick with them because no other site was set up like they were. On the other hand they are not in violation of monoply because there are other sites out there.

    Well it's time for them to eat what they cooked. They belong in jail for deliberatly

    driving down there stocks to buy them back.

    THE BLOOD IS IN THE WATER, BOYCOTT !!!

  • If you how to setup a website please come up with a website for ebay sellers.

    So that all sellers have their chances to post negative feedbacks for buyers, and also for the CEO or whoever came out with the new feedback system

    ebay sellers are allowed to post either positive or negative feedbacks for ebay CEO & employees.

    I bet ebay CEO will get the most negative feedbacks in the world.

    If you think ebay CEO is rated from F--K, please reply it here.

    First negative for ebay CEO.

  • Try GeeeWhiz website..........thousands black listed names to download, leave neg. feedbacks, black list buyers, many power sellers are using it already!

  • By the time any seller gets through to a live ebay employee, they have been blitzed with idiotic spam responses, and made to jump through all kinds of idiotic hoops, and finding a # for ebay is also hell. By the time any seller gets to finally talk to an ebay employee, they are a deranged fuming lunatic. It's no wonder ebay employees are so fucking hateful towards sellers. Their system filters out all but the most diligent pissed off sellers.

  • He say's ok everyone has your attention so what's your point sir open your Fricken eyes eBay

    and take the earplugs out while your at it!!!

  • GOOGLE "THEBARRY" AKA BARRY J. REIGER Wheeling Man ,Barry J. Reiger got 33 months in federal prison for bilking EBAY BUYERS out of about $165,000 by falsely advertising hundreds of ITEMS for auction was ordered to pay full restitution to more than 3,300. Reiger pleaded guilty to mail fraud.he legitimately sold thousands of ITEMS through online auctions on e-Bay for five years.

    HE IS OUT & STILL HAS NOT REPAID A DIME!

    EBAY DID NOT HELP ANYONE BUT EBAY!

  • Buyers are always right.

    Who are ebay's buyers?

    The sellers on ebay are ebay's buyers.

    Because ebay made money from the sellers, not from the buyers.

    ebay thought all sellers must use their venue to sell goods. ebay is holding sellers as hostages.

    The only way to beat this CEO out is to stop selling on ebay. Sell at other venues.

    Once ebay stocks tumbling down, the ebay CEO will have to pack & go.

    Don't buy ebay stocks. Don't sell on ebay. Don't use ebay at all.

  • Where to buy designers fake or counterfeit goods ?

    1) China;

    2) ebay.

    French court ruled that ebay has to compensate more than $60-million dollars to LVMH Louis vuitton & others for selling counterfeit items on ebay.

    But USA court ruled in favour of ebay. See Tiffany s ebay.

    This will encourage USA shops to sell counterfeit goods. Setup ebay similar transactions.

    China is laughing all the way to the bank.

    Consumers in USA will be the victims.

    God knows who is right.

  • ''The PayPal Pay Later service is issued by GE Money Bank, one of the world's leading providers of consumer credit. ''

    GE owns Paypal? Paypal owns Ebay? Who owns big bad John? Is he a puppet? Let's call it, "GEBAY"!

  • The Douche also known as Donahoe has no clue, you stand on stage with vile contempt of the Sellers, you MORON, the sellers MADE eBay, not you, you would be an assistant manager at a McDonalds if it was not for the SELLERS, Show some respect!

  • He is my hero!!!

    THANK GAWD people like this spoke up - eBay is gone, fucking gone.

    That panel of zitfaced eBay reps at "LIVE!" made me sick - take a multibillion dollar cash cow and let a bunch of kids run it like a "college group assignment".

  • I made some evids. Look through my vids.

    I have them shared elsewhere, but I thought some of you might like to see them. Look for

    WHO CARES! Huey Lewis and the News Ebay

    Ebay Live 2008 Chicago

    Ebay has a spell on you

    Please rate and comment - spread the word!

  • I just 8 balled a non paying bidder over a 99 cent last second snipe! Killed a buyer's account to save myself 15 cents relist. Had to do it to protect myself from negative feedback. Keep going until you are all the way dead Ebay. I have other options already in place and working.

  • IMHO: WE, SELLERS AND BUYERS, GENERATE $! We are the dudes with da moneey, we make da money, we count da money, we spend da money! And WE are treated with CONTEMPT by Mr Moanie, John D and his gang who want to TAKE OUR MONEY!! DYAH, YAA BOSS! They are those who LOSE money, who suck ebay like a HOOVER to pad their wallets. They like to punish us like thugs, to bully us around. Is it any wonder that they had ebay live in Chicago, mob city? Many are leaving 'the community' do to 'gangs'! WHO BAD?

  • iamtonite,

    The reason why the sound is not clear is because there is hardly anybody in the room and there is an echo.

  • Sound not clear enough to make a review.

  • ebay now requires buyers with under 10 transactions to wear a condom.

    THE BLOOD IS IN THE WATER CONTINUE THE BOYCOTT.

  • Good gracious!! I was contemplating starting a business on eBay. Maybe not!!

  • thomas, only the brave or the really stupid would consider an ebay business at this point in time. But, if you decide to do it, I wish you luck!

  • It's a great time to start an Internet-based business with your own website and using sites such as eBay to supplement your business, but never depend on eBay for your income.

  • I wish we could understand what he is saying. ebay SUCKS. I would not sell on ebay again if you paid me. HIGH fees and BAD buyers. I'm tired of ebay sellers getting ripped off.

  • Good sellers are leaving ebay in droves, and what remains are sleezy bad sellers to sucker buyers that are 'loyal' to ebad. So ebad is screwing the buyers too with their new PC BS. Remember COMB (now QVC), Damark, and many other mail order catalogs that were clearing houses? Are such vendors taking over ebay! Will HSN use ebay to unload such inventory? S-Mart outlets? RETURNS, UNSOLD INVENTORY, DISPLAY ITEMS, DEAD OVERSTOCK, Pawn shops? What is happening to ebad? JUNK DEALERS? We'll see . . .

  • Doink - don't hold back, man! Say it like you mean it - let it all out! *lol*

  • Ebad is weeding out the small sellers, and WILL GET RID OF THEM! Many have gone elsewhere, and many more shall follow. We made ebay, and we can do so elsewhere. The buyers will simply need to find out where they all are! We are NOT loyal to ebay, it is nothing more than an internet advertiser. We buyers are interested in the kind of sellers ebad used to have. All we need do, is know where to find them, it's called 'internet advertising'! Ebad isn't the only one out there people!
