Hi there my fellow ebayers.
I was wondering if you have noticed that ebay has gone to the dogs?
What I mean by that is there is no more room for the little guy to compete against the Big boy companies that have made their way to ebay killing any chances us little guys have of making a buck.
How are we supposed to compete against them? They can get and sell stuff cheaper than we can. Plus they can sell at a loss and just write it off where we can't.
Now if you put something up most of the time you don't get any bids till the last day or so and most of the time if will not sell for very much cause it got sniped or there is a big boy selling it cheaper than you, and as if that wasn't bad enough the Big boys get a major shipping discount as where we the little guy does not.
And now ebay is restricting the graphics and things that you can do to your auctions to try and make you pay for their extra stuff and graphics.
That's just wrong.
So how are we supposed to compete when ebay is catering to the big boys and not the clients that made them.
I thought it was bad with all the shill bidding but that is nothing compared to eBay turning it's back on the little sellers.
Now I know that things might be different if you sell art or customer items but people like me who sold comics and toys got killed off by the big boys.
But with all the smaller sellers dropping like flys the bigger stores are starting to jack the prices because they killed off their competition. The sad thing was that eBay actually encouraged it.
So now I have closed down my shop and gone back to selling at comic conventions and sci fi cons.
So is it just me or has it gone to the dogs?
