Re: How are new ebay sellers supposed to compete with chinese sellers/competitors?
Anyone here who genuinely believes that this is a fair game is delusional. Reading this post, all I'm seeing is "you should do better", "you should find better products" and basically "work harder and smarter". The fact of the matter is this... the EU/NA have been innovators and risk-takers. I've seen Kickstarters for incredible ideas literally ripped off by the Chinese during their fundraising period. I'm talking weeks into it. Not to mention they are more than welcome to do business in our own countries and yet we can't do it there? Most of the time, they are heavily subsidised in some way or form from the postal service to the devaluation of their currency to influence the government has over their megacorporations that basically make them an extension of the Chinese government in product form. It's one of the primary reasons I left eBay and Amazon and most definitely have become far more anti-capitalist in the past 5 years. You aren't stupid for moaning about it. You can't compete because you are nothing. You're crappy little family run business that employs 3-5 people is nothing to a whole country that can, will and is waiting to undercut you in an organised fashion. I'm sorry to have to break the news to you but some people on this forum are absolutely delusional sometimes because they are marginally successful - that is until the Chinese encroach on their own profits and then they turn into victims.
