Do you ever think Ebay reads this forum?
 

I was wonder if ebay reads this forum and get strict day by day.
If you think since this forum started things have been harder on ebay and i wonder if we all give these ideas to them.
We should start to talk in coded words.lol.
Hate to think if ebay reads this and one day we wake up to find that our stealth ideas accounts are out of the window.

Yeah they read these fourms and so dose paypal! Paypal even has spys here one of them is named paypalstaffmemeber. Theres alot of things that was posted here that now has been fixed by ebay/Pp cause they read the fourms!. So its best not to post anything that can help ebay/pp in any open fourms. Im sure ebay has bought the stelth guide as well.

Yea I know they are spies on here. I once got a pm from somebody who joined in 2007 not 1 post and was asking me for my secrets.

:spy:

You can bet your Bottom dollar on that.

You can also Bet your bottom dollar that Ebay/Paypal can if they want close ALL the loopholes if they want, but for various reasons they will never do that.

Closing all the loopholes would mean either a Massive overhaul of there system, or a Dramatic increase in workforce, or even both, no matter which way you go Very expensive, too expensive for either company whose profits have been consistantly declining over the past few years.

Also there is another factor, They NEED us. We all know that Ebay is moving away from an Auction site to more of a Marketplace like Amazon.

However the MAIN reason that people go to Ebay is to get a GREAT DEAL, Plain and Simple. You get a better price on an Ebay Auction than an Ebay or Amazom fixed price listing.

Sellers who purchase items from Legit sources RARELY ever Auction them, there simply is NO Money in it. So those great prices must come from auctions where the Source of the items are in question. Those auctioned items help controll the fixed price listings of similar items, That puts Ebay in a VERY BAD Position.

Take away all the Auctions and all the fixed price listings go up, which will put them in DIRECT competion with Amazon and they will LOSE and they KNOW THAT!! Ebay has been losing to Amazon over the past few years, Read my other posts on this subject.

So Ebay needs a certain amount of sellers who deal in Questionable items in order to keep the overall pricing BETTER that Amazon. Ebay is also working hard to have the best of BOTH worlds, but that is impossible.

At some point most analysts believe that Ebay will make a hard decision and get into an all out footrace for customers with Amazon, and they will lose.

This I believe is the REAL reason that Ebay will for the time being only make very minor adjustments to there system, until they believe that they can compete with Amazon.

As for Paypal, their Main problem is the U.S. Goverment, Paypal has been acting like a Bank for years, the U.S Goverment has been pressuring them to file for an Official Bank Charter and get FDIC Insurance coverage. Paypal refuses. A bank Charter would mean that they are indeed a Bank and MUST Comply with ALL of the U.S. Banking regulations
which would cost them Dearly, Paypal is trying to avoid this at all costs.

Ebay needs us
 

Years ago, You can sell cigarettes, but now you can't find even one on Ebay.

They can block all of you if they want.

I was think, if you sell high quality products, even VERO, no body complains.

You will go far away.

Why? Very simple, they make money.

Yeah if ebay blocked every loophole and stopped all the repete sellers from getting back on ebay then they would probly lose alot of money. I can bet this is one of the main reasons they havent did it yet. Really theres no way of stop it they can just make it harder for us to get back on and in the long run make it so hard that not even new comers to ebay would want to go through that hassle just to sell something they got around the house.

Actually, Ebay only cares about getting fees when you list and when you sell.

If no one sells anything, they DIE!

Best way to beat ebay is to avoid the fees. I bet people here are good at this, huh?
