im curious after all the problems on ebay, do you still sell there? Have you implemented any changes? if no new changes and you still sell there why complain

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?

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.

well you did say you cant block everyone..but yet you are very profitable and done it for years...ebay is fine...you can consign and not have to worry about bid retractions....if you make more money than probsten and pwcc then i see zero problem. (i would assume you would consign to them if they did better than you do)..heck many people on net54 think pwcc prices are inflated becasue of shilling etc...if you are getting more than pwcc prices than like i said whats the problem..ebay is working just fine for you...plus you can block bidders with limited feedback or not....

people should consign to you it appears because of the profits you are getting....nothing will have no problems.......but we have seen other auction houses with huge shilling problems..which is bad for the buyer.....looks like you should roll with the punches some more

i just giving an opinion, really no need about asking me whether i do bid retractions or not...i simply was giving you some advice about blocking people with limited feedback then you argued and said they coudl form many more accounts, but then i said the feedback would be very low for any new accounts....just my opinion man...is it perfect no, but its not impossible..you dont need to block everyone.

I think you need to re-read the thread again.

Don't think so.

This is just for you Jake.

Not that it will mean anything to you, or even to me if I'm being honest (because I don't think it's a very useful tool, but you're the one who brought it up and then told me I was complaining just because I said you were wrong). Here is a page with Ebay's Buyer Requirement options for sellers:

Notice the section marked "Block Buyers With a Negative Feedback Score Of".
