Ebay Nightmare

EBAY not as fun and safe as before!!!!

Anyone here sell or buy's at ebay lately?Has this happen to you...

Well I have been selling in ebay for 2 years now and lately I been having a problem with bunch ***** that ****** around with the item I am selling, All my items are in FIX price or buy it now and lately lots people will click on that item and buy it but in the next day that person will be no longer registered as an ebay user. And every time they do that it cost me at least $10 USD and its been happening for the past two week and now I owe ebay $150 USD for placing my item in their site but I have no sale in hand. This happen to me once twice a month before but not on this rate now I am having it at least 3-5 times a week...

I have open a dicussion about this on ebay forum but I think it only make it worse b'coz the next day I have three people buy on me then disappear become no longger register..... And ebay wont do anything they just keep offering me discount on insertion fee or maybe a free relist which also not going to make any diffrence since it will happen again.. 99.9% sure.. I think some ebay buyer or seller is on me or maybe ebay it self is on me...

Right now I have closed my ebay store and I am thinking of just opening my own online store.......

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaa
Finally release some steam....Just blowing steam

I have been having the same issues. I don't use eBay as frequently as yourself, but of the last 4 items that I sold I did not receive payment for one. All I did was file a non-payment report with eBay and my fees were reimbursed. It is still quite annoying though. The buyers definitely need to be held more accountable for their actions.

I've heard of this happening to others. It seems that some competeing sellers set up fake accounts and bump competetors auctions out by putting in the false purchase offers. That way their item is left with less competiotion to sell for a better price.

I have been filing a non payment report and yes they will reimbursed some of the fee but not the listing fee which in my every list cost at least $10 each and combine them all you got one hell of a fee. Specially when this cr** is happening.

Come to think of it I think that what their doing scpecially now that lots people are getting cheaper product than other and selling it on a more competative prices.

But what ever their intention is it freaking wrong and their costing people their livelihood..

Ebay is a bunch of crooks. That is why we started our own online store. Ebay and paypal combined take sometimes over 10% of a sale, you cannot stay in business that way.

You should seriously consider opening an online store. Getting yourself sponsored on google and a couple other search engines, and create some banner ads for some relative sites. Its a great way to generate business. Plus, we only lose 3% - 5% on our online transactions.

Here is my site: www.ocli.ca . This isnt self promotion at all, but if you got any questions let me know!
