Re: Why don't mid sized eBay companies not worry about being banned?
 

There are things I sell in multiple accounts,same pictures,same item,but I dont sell 5 times more.
Do you know Ebay rotate the sellers?
Someone called over there and asked where is my sale and the EBAY rep said be patient,your turn will come.

I finally realized that no matter how good of a seller you are on eBay, you can have perfect feedback and almost not cancelations and eventually you too are going to get banned. eBay , Amazon or any other marketplace is unstable. Having multiple accounts is the LEAST you can do. We need government regulations that uphold eCommerce companies to the same standards brick and mortar business do.

Govertment cant protect you if you dont follow the rules and Ebay/AMZN and PAYPAL have plenty of rules,esp Ebay.
The rules favors the buyers more,so we have to make sure to make enough to offset some losses,it aint easy given the margin .

Not exactly 5x no but you get the point lol.

Do you know when I realised eBay and Amazon are genuinely unstable for longevity ... when Peter Jones on Dragons Den said we need to build a website so you can sell your products outside of eBay. This was to a business that was doing 1 million in sales on ebay.

Ebay is good for fast money or "while it's good" you do eventually need to venture out. Or if you are a small time seller, have another job.

Trust me, we DO NOT need more government regulations in the marketplace.
Government can't even do their job well as it is. They usually manage to F-k up anything they touch, especially congress.

If you want a better marketplace, then START ONE yourself. If it's any good, people will come.

That's the dumbest thing I've read all day.

There's 8 hours left, though, so maybe someone will out-do you. But I doubt it!

so why is he selling on EBAY?

Re: Why don't mid sized eBay companies not worry about being banned?
 

Unless you're a wholesaler or a supplier you're stuck selling on the major online retail platforms.

That transition would cost a lot of money.

Best to catch a new wave and try to go big.

Re: Why don't mid sized eBay companies not worry about being banned?
 

Some AMZN third party sellers only exist on AMZN,they have less overhead and store is always open.
so it is all up to individual sellers.
I would rather pay Ebay than paying GOOGLE search

Not US.... EBAY having to follow the standards. Come on man lol that's clearly what the person was talking about.
