Who has quit and/or come back to eBay?

[Edwolf1963]

Curious how many of you have avoided, stopped using, flat-out quit, or quit and come back to eBay and your reasons why..?

I'm still on (Edwolf1963), have 100% feedback - but they always seem to make it harder to do business with them. Basic Customer Service issues or questions in the last year where I get to most dense/daft people or ridiculous responses to basic questions. Latest "good news" email is bcse even though I've sold $11K of cards through them, I only have 93 transactions and I need 100 to hold my "Top Rated Seller" status, so I'm being downgraded. Nothing horrendous - they just always find a way to put a bad taste in my mouth. to a degree, it's like dealing with the DMV or some other Gov't Service outfit, you feel like you do bcse you have to/there's no other alternatives.

Another vote for B/S/T. Good folks and good service.

Hopefully they wont increase the fees.

We use eBay because of the audience available for items. However, we often times sell cards through forums before we list them. It is indeed a flawed system, but our theory is more eyes/customers equals more sales.

I stopped selling on Ebay when they instituted the electronic payments rule, but I continue to buy occasionally.

Ebay rules!

I only buy on Ebay, I no longer sell. I've never sold cards or memorabilia on Ebay, I did not get back into the hobby until after gave up selling on Ebay. Well, to be more accurate I was banned from Paypal and gave up selling on Ebay.

I was scammed out of nearly $300 in Penguins playoff tickets by an Ebay user. He purchased playoff tickets from me through Ebay and paid via Paypal. But he was local and since he completed the sale the day before the game, asked if we could meet up to get the tickets. Since he had paid via Paypal and the money was in my account I agreed. The gentleman picked up the tickets. 7 days later he filed a complaint claming he did not receive the tickets. Since we met locally I had no proof of shipment or proof of delivery that Paypal required of me. Our email history back and forth were not substatial enough for Paypal to rule in my favor. Paypal then debited my account for $300...all the while this gentleman got my tickets, WENT to the game I'm sure...and got refunded $300 for his troubles. Since I refused to settle my Paypal account, they closed the account. When I tried to signup for a new account, I was informed that "Paypal wishes to sever all business ties with me" and that I would never be welcomed back to Paypal and would never again be allowed to have a Paypal account.

I have since found a couple other very viable options for collecting credit card payments for Ebay auctions through merchant accounts, so if I ever get back to selling on Ebay I will utilize those services and obviously not Paypal.

I am still however able to process a credit card payment through Paypal for Ebay acutions I win/buy since that does not require an actual Paypal account.
