"ebay" for bidders/buyers is shit as well. It's too complicated to pay, group, ungroup, pay one seller at a trime all this mess and especially is a mess with leaving feedback if you bid/buy hundreds of different items you will spend 2 days just trying to leave feedback which at the end you realise failed to leave feedbacks! Fuck ebay. No more.

Being both a buyer and a seller. I think ebay started out well and went totally deranged over the top greedy bonkers. The selling policies are insane the costs to sell are retarded. They charge for things that should be covered in the "basic" listing fees and charge for additional stff like pic hosting when there are so many companies doing it for free.

Plus now you can't leave negative feedback......WTF is there a feedback system for then!
Double billing through fees and paypal usage!

I'm sure more then a few people have been reading these posts and they are everywhere! An alternative will be coming up soon.

Looking forward to goodbye EBAY.

Greed greed greeed.

I noticed this article is very seller-centered, but just to add input as a seller/buyer, it sucks for buyers too. Gone are the days of finding "good" deals w/o hassle and knock-offs from hong kong.

Why are Hong Kong sellers still allowed to list their items under American brand names and get away with it? Why are any Nigerians even able to bid on items...when they are OBVIOUSLY scammers? Why does ebay NEVER care when you complain about either of these two scenarios? These are all signs that it has gone down hill, and unfortunately there's no suitable alternative to turn to.

Note: Btw, they stopped allowing sellers to rate buyers b/c buyers would be hesitant to give negative feedback to a seller at the threat of receiving undeserved negative feedback from the seller. It was a vicious cycle that defeated the purpose of such feedback, so I'm assuming they just kept the capabilities for the most important one - buyer feedback.

I am 100% behind you. That is definetly due to the recent frustration over a ebay issue I am dealing with. I don't like wasting time jumping through endless loops trying to follow endless steps for dispute resolution. I can't even complain to them about their irritating contact us labrynth. I think i am done with eBay, your right that the excitement is gone. Thanks.
