Seemaji,
Was just going through your responses and found that on every email, you have written "However, we suggest you plan your business on eBay accommodating the changes in fee." :^O
So, now it's only sellers responsibility to accommodate their business as per whatever you will change.
After this, if ebay increases the fees again in 6 months, again we have to plan our business according to ebay's changed policies??
Seems, we have become a puppet of ebay.. Here is the formula..
1) ebay changes policy (don't know who are the masterminds). Just for an example, I am a very small seller.. I have only approx 100 active items on ebay which don't get sold in 1st.. 2nd.. 3rd.. time. So, I need to relist them every time.
Now the issue is.. when I relist my items now, I get charged 100x1=100 Rs as insertion fee.. But from 16th June, I will be charged 100x2 = 200 Rs. each time. So, if the items don't get sold 3 times and I relist them 3 times, I will be charged 600 Rs. only for insertion fee for those items!! Do you understand what I mean, Seemaji??
This is in my case.. I know many sellers who relists 1000 and more Unsold items per week.. Think about it.
2) Some sellers like us who knows they will suffer because of this, come to this discussion board, write their needs heart out.
3) Someone from ebay replies with some Canned responses.
4) After some days, we forget all these and go as per what ebay wants us to do.
5) ebay is like this only.. They never thought about the sellers nor buyes.. Remember when they changed fees last time and when they changed policy about Seller can not leave negative and even neutral feedback?? We wrote in this discussion board for a month then for 7 days, ebay sellers went for strike.. The result?? Nothing changed... ebay stuck to their decision.
They only thinks about their profit... The reason is.. they knows it's a Monopoly and there is no other player in the market right now.
I just want to tell ebay that, time has been changed.. There are good online auctions are coming out in the market and if ebay going by this adamant nature in future, I can clearly see the drop in ebay business as well as sellers here. Just remember.. We are INDIAN, not American. Our mentality will never match to them (Good or bad).. So, do not try to put up their policies to us.
Regards,
A very frustrated ebay member
You may call Ex-ebay member in some days because I have got another good online auction site already whose policies, fees and support are far far far better than yours.. Thanks for your understanding and AWESOME support. ]:)
Lastly, I just want to say that, I have no personal grudges against anyone here from ebay . I know you guys are just employees here and can not do ANYTHING about it because you also know that ebay is NOT DOING GOOD WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING but you guys are also helpless because you are just following what your AKA is ordering you guys to do..
I am sure, you guys also talk about this in your office and you are also fade up seeing and writing the same thing again and again.
