Ebay. Still on the rise or going down?

August 1, 2008 12:32pm CST
I have recently heard most of my friends complain about Ebay and their services, as it only benefits the buyer and not really the seller. The feedback system has also changed. Also with other auction bidding sites on the rise such as Play.com and eBid and spamming of accounts on the increase. I wanted to know find out what other people think of Ebay and their recent activities. And do you think Ebay is going down?

Yes, I heard that too from a friend in US who is an ebay buying-customer. So far, I don't have any idea about ebay status in handling their products and services as I do not buy products from them even if I am an ebay member as I do not buy products which I could not visibly see and touch it.

hello my new friend,this is a god topic. i think you are right. now, there are more and more seller are leaving ebay sit.Because they don't get one right to protect them any more.The buyer can leave the negative feedbacks to the seller randomly if they are a little unhappy.why?? I think ebay should be equal to all users,but it is not a good way to prevent the scam with changes of the feedback system.many people think ebay will go down in future times.In fact, i also want to sell on ebay too. but i am afraid this rule like this...It is horrible to a new seller.isn't it? thanks for your share, my friend.

I don't know if Ebay is going down or not but I do agree that they aren't very good at resolving disputes between buyers and sellers which is why we always use Pay Pal when making a purchase or selling something.
