 New member - star trashed Brit!
Hi there, I came upon this forum by accident some time ago.
I dont have a suspended account - although I may have soon! Not because I did anything to break the rules. Far from it. I have a solid selling account with over 3000 fb and about 10 solid buying accounts - some in the high hundreds.
Well Ive been a victim of the infamous DSRs which are so unfair to us smaller sellers. I sell 95% international out of the UK, mostly to the USA. My shipping charges are fair and if I went to free shipping and included international signed for in my base price I would not be competetive on the US site where I sell.
Ebay pushing this free shipping has really made it bad for a lot of UK sellers. Their DSRs for shipping get trashed and as you all know this can put you out of business. Mine got trashed recently by 2 nasty buyers so now I am currently hovering around a 4.48 for shipping - but 4.8/9 on all the others!
I am a disabled senior and depend on eBay for a substantial part of my income so this really sucks for me. I bent over backwards to help the two people who trashed my stars. I wrote to them to tell that what harm they had done me. One felt really bad, the other just sent an abusive message. She'd done the same to other sellers.
I used to enjoy selling on eBay back in the early 2000s when I began but not any more. I opened my own webby about 9 months ago and several months its outperformed what I make on eBay, Im also looking at other platforms.
This is what I think. Ebay has become corrupt and rotten to the core and provides no incentive to anyone to do otherwise than attempt to get around their draconian and unfair rules.
