Claire Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Feb 18-25? I haven't sold on eBay yet, but I was planning to start this spring. Looks like the strike idea is gaining a lot of momentum. Here is a website with info and links. The is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Sorry, not an ebay user (two purchases since eBay began a long time ago do not make me an ebay user..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 No, I bowed out of ebay after there was some scam going on because someone hacked into some peoples info and started bogus sales. And I had a 100 percent good rating, too, and even sold things to buy more homeschool supplies. I'm not planning to go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom2GirlsTX Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 no idea about the strike. I like to buy on EBAY but have never sold on it. I can certainly feel for the sellers with the new feedback rules, which are stupid because many times new buyers are really stupid (comments such as I didn't know shipping would be that much, even though shipping cost was stated on the listing; I didnt know item was used, even though item said USED). Of course most buyers are fine, but some are crooks and to not allow the sellers to rate buyers seems unfair to me and I'm only a buyer myself. Not planning on boycotting though!

KidsHappen Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I read the article and watched the video and it only made brief mention of the feedback changes. This is what would concern me the most. Anyone know anything more about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link to eBay's explanation of their changes to the fee structure. (Note: they emphasize lower insertion fees, but if you scroll down you will see that their commission charges on sales have increased significantly.)

AngelaC Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 ACK!!! Ebay strike??!! I LOVE Ebay! I usually just buy, but I sell a bunch of school things every summer. I need to look into this . . . My world is crumbling:D (But my husband will be estatic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons in the flower bed Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 My world is crumbling Heh. I make my living on eBay. I'm furious about the feedback changes, but boycotting would mean giving up 80% of our income. I kind of feel like I'm crossing a picket line.
