Used to be you can just be some person selling some little odds and ends around the house for a quick buck or two.  Now it has to be like a full-time business.

Sad thing is that as a result, it's harder for buyers to find the deals eBay was once known for since sellers have to cover so much more overhead.

I understand the need to make buyers comfortable, but they need to realize that the smaller, one-or-two-item sellers are just as important to eBay as full-time power sellers.

I stopped selling on eBay a long time ago when they first implemented the seller limitations. Made it virtually iworthless to "one-off" sell item. But you hit the nail on the head. Nearly every bid I made  in the last year were all with merchants.

All I can say is that you keep the buyer in the loop on the whole process, that way he doesn't have to guess and think you are jerking him around. If you stated that said item won't ship for a week up front, then you can just chalk it up to the buyer being a complete effing idiot. This is the one thing that irks me about some sellers, all you have to do is send an email "hey, I just shipped your item, enjoy!"

OK guy's there was no fault on my end it was no different then the other few hundred I did and never had trouble with.

maybe this will enlighten some with extra food for thought coming in 6 weeks on top of what there already doing now:



This is the new letter you will be getting:

Dear soand so.

I'm writing to let you know about important updates to the eBay Buyer Protection Policy that will go into effect on June 19, 2012:

A provision has been added that in some cases we may refund part of the cost of the item to the buyer and receive reimbursement from the seller to cover differences between the item described and the item actually received, such as small parts missing or minor repairs needed. In these cases, we will not require the buyer to return the item to the seller.

A clarification has been included that delivery signature confirmation for items $250 or more is only required in order to protect sellers from losing a case where such service is offered by at least one shipping company. Similarly, when we ask a buyer to return a $250 or more item to the seller, delivery signature confirmation is required if it is offered by at least one shipping company.

A clarification has been made that items purchased from the Businesses & Websites for Sale category will not be covered by eBay Buyer Protection.

A provision has been added regarding the relationship between eBay Buyer Protection and the new managed return process. If a buyer uses the process to return to an item purchased from an eligible transaction under that process, and the seller fails to provide a timely refund in accordance with the new process, the buyer may file a case under eBay Buyer Protection. If we resolve the case in the buyer's favor, we'll refund the buyer, the amount of which will depend on the terms and conditions of the process.

As with earlier updates, other changes have been made to keep the eBay Buyer Protection Policy up-to-date with our product and service offerings.

Thanks,

you let them make that decision with your money and credit and banking info I will not  :laugh2:

^^This. Communicating on the internet is so easy, only idiots avoid it, especially when money has changed hands. Even Chinese sellers with free shipping and low prices email me when I buy their stuff...

right but that has nothing to do with them having your credit number and the new guy with zero feedback to make a bogus claim about anything and then it is at ebay's descretion to charge your card whatever they want whenever they want.

you can blow thier email up with any info and the buyer's too and tell them all the stories about whatever but that does not stop them or the bogus buyer from stealing your money at all.

you sell a $800.00 dollar machine the new guy say's it had a crack that was never there and ebay takes the liberty of that as a $400.00 dollar repair they took your money and could give two shits what you say to them or the buyer they already have your permission to steal your money and if your a seller when the time comes you already agree to get legally screwed.

I was in contact with the guy I provided the shipping info within the stated time and it just flat ass did not matter and the money was gone.

soon here it get's worse it came with a booger on it and I want xxx dollars back and ebay take's it out on your wallet.

I was also a power seller and a top rated seller and I am not no more becuase I simply will not agree to their terms so they took that away.

well they might as well take the rest and shove it in their ass too as far as I am concerned,
