Do have issues with Ebay?

I used to sell a lot in ebay philippines. Previously there were no fees involve. But currently there are fees already involved and paypal is also available now. My account is inactive and yet I kept on receiving and invoice. Lately, received a reminder that I need to settle the amount of USD 20 something otherwise my account will be suspended. So as to keep my account and feeback, I just paid it painfully. Very unlucky!

eBay's policies are forcing more and more of the small sellers off of their site. The fees are outrageous and they really want everyone doing fixed listings (and the Final Value Fees are off the wall!) My hubby is selling off some stuff and he has been forced to list with a higher opening bid to ensure he isn't giving items away and losing money. I think that's what you have to do if you are selling on eBay now. List your item for what you are comfortable selling it for. If you want a minimum of $4.99 for an item, then that should be your opening bid. That way you are not disappointed when it sells and you know you can cover your eBay & Paypal fees. My hubby's shipping price is basically what the shipping costs, with delivery confirmation. eBay would like sellers to list items with free shipping since they chased away many buyers and sellers. They think the sellers should make buying on eBay a pleasant experience by not having shipping/handling fees. You notice they don't make selling on eBay a more pleasant experience by offering no listing, FVF and Paypal fee days? Personally, I don't care that eBay has run their business into the ground. Once hubby is finished selling all of his stuff, then I'll only be a bargain shopper on eBay, knowing full well that one day in the not so distant future, eBay will no longer exist the way we knew it. Cover yourself when you are selling, make sure you understand the cost of shipping and all the fees involved, so you can make a little something on every eBay listing. Good Luck!

I've been either selling/buying for nearly 8 years now. Lets just say Ebay ain't what it used to be. It pretty much sucks now. With the jacked up prices just to sell stuff, and with people ripping others off and the whole star system. Ebay pretty much sucks now. I rarely buy anything or even sell anything there anymore.

I heard that some people's accounts are hacked and this is a very bad news. you're right the fees kill and some sellers are willing to lose profit just for the sake of winning competition so I basically only make profit with combined shipping, if it's not combined for sure I don't get anything

I currently sell on ebay too and I enjoy it. I am not making a big profit but I enjoy it and I do make a little money. The fees are a little high,but ebay is working to make it a better place. There are several changes taking place and I think overall it is a good thing.

I have sold on ebay for about 4 years and I encounter the smae problem. The shipping is outrageous anymore. One thing I did was closed my store which was costing me an extra 15-20 dollars a month and I just sell with no store front. It takes a lot of researching and a lot of time to keep up with the hot selling items on there. I don't fool with it as much as I used to because I couldn't really see that much profit. Once in a while I'll stumble upon a real seller but that's about it! Good Luck !

That is why I'm not using ebay to sell things. I'm stuck with interest forums because I have no fees there. I have a game to sell, and I tried to find someone in person to buy it before I decide to sell on ebay ^^" I tried Polish online auctions for awhile, fees are lower a little - ebay is last resort.
