I wouldn't block everyone, just non legit buyers...if there is a real legit buyer out there that is blocked..he will contact you and pay by paypal in a direct deal and you take off the listing once paid....everyone wins..

also if these clowns have tons of feedback then they must be buying something.(assuming its buying feedback)...not sure what 'tons' of feedback is though......I can tell you every time I have consigned to PWCC I have been paid and they sell on ebay as well....why not just consign it and not deal with the hassle..thats what they get paid to do

Sorry man, I'm not even gonna try anymore. Good luck with your buying and consigning.

I'm curious. How many retractions do you have?

Yes, I still sell there. Been selling there for probably 17-18 years. Will probably always sell there in some capacity.

I've implemented plenty of changes, and actually have very few problems myself. I try to be very proactive. Plenty of changes I wish I didn't have to implement. Ebay used to be much funner (and profitable) to sell on for me, but I roll with the punches whether I like it or not.

This your way of saying STFU if you don't like it?

so you still sell there after all the arguments how its impossible to sell there...and you have very few problems....looks like a very profitable endeavor...yet all the complaints.......and you still sell there...enough said..

Hold on a second. Why don't you narrow down for me this LOOOOOOONG list of complaints that I've outlined.

This thread is about "retractions" on Ebay. I've outlined how habitual retractions are harmful to the marketplace that is Ebay for various reasons.

Something Ebay can put a stop to with a very, very simple policy change.

Sometimes people relate various "anecdotes" of bad experiences on Ebay. Never have I said that it is "impossible" or even very difficult to sell on Ebay. If it was I wouldn't even be wasting my time on that platform.

Ebay is constantly shooting themselves in the foot and I see a once reliable platform going to garbage. You think this is a great development, and consigning stuff to PWCC or Probstein instead is the bees knees...well then good for you.
