Seller Updates

Hey ebay! Let this seller give YOU an update.

I hate being forced into 5 day listings.  They suck, and here's why:
I upload my 5 day listing. Potential buyer puts item on watch list. This gives them 5 days to find another item, forget said item, or think over and decide they don't really want it. Since I have had to implement 5 day listings my sales have taken the proverbial dump. I don't like to do buy-it-now because there's too much potential to screw oneself out of extra money garnered from the bidding process.

I also hate that you've eliminated 30 freebie listings. The FVF amounts you would have gotten from whatever freebie listings that sold would have trumped the .30 you got per listing that you will now get, because now I will be selecting very carefully and selling less of my lower end stuff.

Yay! say some people "I am sick of ebay being flooded with cheap crap" This hits people who are looking for parts or accessories to things...now people are not going to want to list that hat to a certain doll, or fence piece from that playset because they don't think it is worth it to blow .30 on listing a $5 thing.

I am gun-shy to list any more suspected non home runs/cheap items (IE under $12). Etsy will get my money for those.

eBay, your company is tanking. Please for-the-love-of-God, get your heads out of your asses!
