Suspended Small Business Owner From FLA
Hi,
I had an ebay account since I was 15-2013. Been selling used aircraft parts for a long time. The husband and I have been running an aircraft salvage yard exclusively for 2 years now with 6 employees. A large part of our business was ebay. We had over 2200 items on ebay, 99.9% feedback and good dsr's. Randomly on a tuesday we got booted with the MC999. I had to let go of 3 people and we have been working very hard to stay afloat. Ebay was our "constant" form of weekly guaranteed income. Never could get a true reason why we weren't allowed to sell but every 5 hour bout of ebay phone calls would end in something different. Too much of a risk for them, we communicated too much with our customers, and then they said that they were like a restaurant-they didn't have to serve us if they didn't want to. We started a new site for the aviation community that people can buy and sell airplane parts on, hangarswap.com. Seems like it is happening to a lot of used parts dealers.
I have read, reread, and read again eBay Stealth. I started a stealth account, but still working on getting some limits without calling in. I have listed some parts on my husbands account-his is limited. Until our website really takes off, I feel like we need to keep that income that we were getting with ebay coming in again.
I have been reading the book on how ebay started. They are the biggest hypocrites. They are 100% total opposite to what they originally started ebay with. Ebay is no longer a community. There is more of a community of haters because they are so corporate and literally "ruin" peoples lives so the owner can fly around in his Gulfstream 650. (Trust me…Ive done my research)
Thanks for the welcoming to the community,
