quote:A quick glance at ebid shows only 1 item out of 75 in my category with a bid on it--just one. And just one bid.
I don't care so much about an extra 10% if I can't sell anything. lol.
Here is how I see this issue.
Ebay is better than ebid at this point. However ebay is running around like a chicken with its head cut off. God only knows what kind of crazy crap ebay will pull on us next.
So with all this in mind I moved my shop "STORE" to ebid.
I still auction off a FEW things on ebay, Small + cheap items mostly. I do this ONLY to bring people over to ebid.
Now with ebay headed downhill like a run-a-way train I am headed back uphill, rebuilding what I lost because of ebay's foolishness!
I believe ebay is still headed DOWN hill and the management isn't done making foolish mistakes. Why in heck would I stick around eBay and let them damage my business even more? IMO That would just be foolish.
Anyone could start selling at ebid and maintain an ebay account also. I call this "Covering all your bases".
About this time next year I am betting my ebid store will be taking off yet at the same time ebay will still be in decline mode.
Also about this time next year all you ebay users will be faced with a bunch of new rules and ebay UN-improvements coupled with yet more PRICE HIKES. I hope you all are ready for the next round of ebay BS, you know it's only a matter of time before it happens. The only question is, "How bad will it be and how bad will it screw all the ebay members?"
Please forgive me if I don't stick around ebay and share the pain with you all. I am out of painkillers and I look terrible in an eBay jumpsuit
I guess that the people who remain at ebay are the type of people that like Pain and suffering.
After all, Ebay has been slapping around its members for about 5 years now. Just this last year ebay really beat-up on its sellers but good yet again.
I don't know, call me crazy or something but I simply will not reward ebay for its mismanagement and SUPER BAD treatment of its members.
Over the last 5 years or so ebay has turned into the bully on the block, taking all the kids lunch money. I simply will not reward this company for its bad manners.
As long as you stay at ebay I am sure ebay will be more than happy to continue screwing you any which way they see fit.
Just go look at the ebay message bases everyone is upset and complaining at ebay.
Now go read the message bases over at ebid it’s mainly all peace and harmony.
My life at ebid is now peaceful. I am out from under all the EXTRA work created by the ebay management morons and all the craziness associated with ebay.
The main question is.....
Is ebay helping you and your company grow or is it hindering growth.
10 years ago ebay helped me and my company grow. Today they are sucking me and my company DRY. Ebay is even dictating what kinds of payments I can and can't except! ----------I believe it's time to leave ebay and let them deal with the cesspool of a place they created all on their own.
IMO leaving ebay, is the ONLY way ebay will ever learn its lesson and change its ways.
By staying at ebay you are rewarding them for their actions and you are also setting yourself up for "MORE OF THE SAME BS" from the ebay mismanagement team.
