One Reason ebay Sucks For Sellers

I do agree that Ebay is getting expensive but they do get the most traffic. I'm not really disappointed with Ebay due to their fees, I'm actually disappointed at their behaviour. The changes that have recently taken place on Ebay are just horrible. Not being able to leave feedback is just one of the problems with Ebay. My biggest problem with Ebay is that there is no one there that's actually willing to listen to you. They do what they want when they want. I recently switch over to offertime like an Ebay auction for online sellers and I have been thrilled with the service. I have even made a few sales. I think this site may actually make it big one day.

Just a casual look at a few items in several categories reveals the biggest problem with making any money selling on EBay. Cheap "hos" are giving it away! Let me explain. Barack and Michelle find an item they can purchase at an attractive price and resell for a $10 gross profit
which probably will net $6-7. Not great unless you sell a lot, but not bad. John and Sarah see the item and say "I can sell it for $2 less and still make $8!" Wrong.  Joe the plumber sees the same item and says "I'll sell it for $2 less and be happy with my $6 profit." Wrong again. So Joe buys a case of the item and tries to "make it up on volume".  At the same time Tito the builder has bought a case he needs to move too, and since everybody is selling the item for more, he thinks "I need to liquidate this case of widgets or I'll be stuck with it, so I'll sell mine for $1 less". Joe and Tito have just blown the entire widget market for everyone by slicing 50% off the profit for themselves and everyone else! Tito is paying $2 to list it and a $2 final value fee which nets him a whopping $1 per item which doesn't even cover envelopes, bubble wrap, and the gas to take it to the Post Office, not to mention the time spent answering questons  and leaving feedback. Oh, I forgot about the Paypal transaction fee which is another $1 hit.  I guess that's why we have $10 widgets with a shipping cost of $20. I exaggerate, but not by much. Now we all have a case of widgets we need to move and Tito the builder has set the market price below cost  by SELLING TOO CHEAP!!! I recommend utilizing a secondary distribution channel which is my fancy way of saying "if I can't move them on EBay, I can move them at the flea market  FOR A HIGHER PRICE which I will receive in CASH RIGHT NOW IN MY POCKET. No Paypal transaction fees. No feedback scores. No running to the Post Office in the rain so some doofus won't screw up my feedback score because I couldn't beam the item to his mailbox instantaneously.  After all, we want to make money and racing to the bottom by slashing your own profits and screwing up the market for everyone is not the way to do it!

Hey, I read this blg and want to mention that bay Indeed SUCKS, they are ripping off the consumers and keep changing rules, their latest rate hikes and unbalanced feedback made a lot of sellers leave, I found this website that is truly FREE, try it out today:

http://www.QuickBids.net

There's a site Random Plaza that is designed to fix all problems with eBay and other community marketplace websites.   randomplaza.com  -- Read the features.

The site is free to list and puts everything on google product search, but despite this it has been impossible to get sellers to list.  As it is, advertising can't be bought until there's lots of products and I can't list a hundred thousand myself.
