Who Has Left Ebay?

[slidekellyslide]

I still use it to sell 100's of items per week...the fees do suck, but there is no comparable place to sell the variety of items I sell so I'm stuck with it.

They are much more seller friendly than they were just a year ago...I got two negatives removed from my account with a 5 minute phone call. One was a lady in Texas who did not receive a postcard, tracking showed they tried to deliver, she contacted me and I told her they tried to deliver it so she should contact her post office...she emailed me back to say that her mailman knows nothing about it and she demanded a refund. I told her to open a case through ebay and that they would refund her through the protection plan...this was not good enough for her as she wasn't going to open a case for 7 measly dollars, so she left me a negative. I called ebay and they got rid of it. I still called her local post office to try and track down her postcard...they found it, I emailed her to let her know...she told me it wasn't worth sending her 80 year old husband to the post office to pick it up.

The other negative was from a guy in Wisconsin who returned a cast iron bank to me and claimed it wasn't cast iron...My shop is closed on Monday and that's apparently when they tried to return it to me, they left no note in my mailbox so I had no idea...the guy just left a negative and I couldn't get him to give me a tracking number for his return shipment...finally got the info out of him and got the post office to deliver the package, refunded him and asked him to remove the negative..he refused, but ebay still removed it for me when they saw the trail of emails with this guy.

edited to add: I did use our BST last week to get rid of a few items and they sold immediately and for what I think was a better price than I would have gotten from ebay...If I sold only cards I think our forum would be my first outlet for them.
