eBay is by far the worst forum to use to sell items. They are only motivated to get sales at all cost to the buyer. I am speaking firsthand from my experience as a verified seller that was with eBay for many years. eBay automatically assumes you should take as many losses and be happy with it as long as they are getting paid. They overcharge sellers and if buyers choose to leave a bad review or complain whether they’re right or wrong eBay actually charged you more interest for that.
It does not matter how much you pay out for your inventory. eBay does not assume you’re reselling items. They assume that these items are all manufactured by you and they do not care about the losses that you incur. I personally tried every thing in my power to satisfy customers like in a perfect world that would be normal. It’s like the more sales you make the more customers you have to deal with and satisfied when truthfully speaking some people could care less about you and your company. They just want to take advantage and eBay allows there forum to do just that.
eBay also will allow you to open an account just to get your information and then close your account for absolutely no reason even in the very beginning. I am personally seeing this happen to at least five different people and again it’s being done for absolutely no reason and when you go to ask them about it, they do not give you a valid response as long as they got your information it really doesn’t matter to them why they stopped you from doing business on their forum.
I don’t know how many other people have gone through some like this, but I was actually a power seller and eBay felt at the time I could just be taken off of their forum indefinitely due to a few customer complaints. I do believe maybe 20 and almost 2000+ Sales I don’t know who does the recommendations to make someone in eligible to sell after so many complaints but it’s definitely not a fair one and for the taxes that they take from you. It is 100% unfair.
I sincerely believe that eBay should be banned from use in online businesses due to this unfair and biased treatment of sellers.
