*Read this now!! Spread the word..Now is the time****
 

Listen up you all. We already know Ebay is at its weakest point and NOW is the time to react to this. We need to do something ow and I mean now. Thisis our only chance to actually get Ebay to change their ways. We need to have a plan and I sort of got one.

What I'm asking everybody in the forum to do is go over to the powerseller forum-->Power Sellers Unite - Online Auction Industry Discussion Forum and Ecommerce Store web hosting, create a profile and make post about Aspkin forum and spread the word in there.

The point of this is so that we can UNITE. We need numbers to make this happen. We need to form like VOLTRON and right now is the time..

If we can combine all the disgruntled Ebay'ers into 1 we will then have a stronger presence.. This is only 1 step towards our goal but once we get powersellers over here and more people Ebay we will have a stronger presence.


So do it now I ask you. Everyone lets spread the word and make this happen.

Truthfully I'm so tired of hearing people complain but when it comes down to actually doing something everybody ducks and hide..

Sounds like a good plan, if that happens...I think we wil actually have a chance. I'm on it

No doubt I'm in!


Aspkin please consider making this a sticky in every section...this is probably the most important thing going on at the moment. And everyone on this board should be notified

I agree. Sticky Please

Its time to make moves. We are not under any radar. This forum probably get so many hits but most people just come and read and dont post or register...

All Ebay does is counter react to what we post here anyway so I dont think it would even matter if we had more visitors here. This forum is not a secret or anything..

TIME TO STAND UP

My first thought exactly Modee. As hard as Ebay has made it for sellers, it could get worse or almost impossible as they are a very powerful company who can fight fire with fire. They will either ease up or clamp down and make life a living hell. It's something to think about long and hard. Thanx for the post Chris.

Well they gonna do what they gonna do. I already told most people last year Ebay was going to do this this year but most just took it with a grain of salt..

The worst Ebay can do now is request SSN#.. Thats the only option they have now..Its kind of funny they are so focus on us that thy have forgotten about all the scammers on Ebay and how to prevent that

huh
 

How would you be risking your ebay account.

The plan is not about you losing your accounts for any reason. But it's more about 2 major forums that are against eBay...and uniting them. As much as we want to stay "under the radar," everyone has to realize that we are not. I'm sure eBay has departments that are specifically designed to monitor forums like this one. It's not hard to find and there has to be a purpose to it...it can't just be about ppl complaining all the time about eBay, finding a way around it, and then eBay countering us in th end. If we want change, this is the time to do it because the company's going through major changes and getting alot of backlash from sellers.

I can co-sign that
 

Your right!

^^Exactly thats what I wanna know??

Exactly . Excellent post.. Im tired of hearing people complain but when it comes time to do something they go hide under a brick rock

I think we should do a poll and vote on the next best alternative to ebay! (Is that possible?) Then we could agree to support that forum for 30 days and see what happens? :confused:

Thats one option

Waking up a touchy sleeping giant might just get you what you want.
More trouble and more of of what we don't want to see.

Sometimes walking softly will put you farther ahead then slapping the sleeping giant that is WAY ahead of you from the start.

Dont kid yourself, 2 sites boycotting ebay wont effect them a bit. As someone at ebay live we went to a few years ago said, they could drop each and every one of us in the building and it wont effect them one bit, there are millions waiting in line behind us and they know it.

After 10 years of selling every thing under the sun and being one of ebays first 10k feedback sellers ever do you think it got me anything, hell no it didnt.
I made more money the first 10 years on ebay then most made in a lifetime and now someone suggest in one thread that we stand up and fight but in another thread they tell people to stay under the radar. They dropped me like a rock all because of an email and one sneaky ass buyer who spent more time watching what I did then minding their own business.

Dont wish for what you might or cannot accept because you might get that.

Let me get over my panic attack before I give a further comment,please.

That's just the kind of attitude feeBay wants us to have. The fact is, we need to go into this fully aware of (and prepared for) the possibility that eBay might just go ape**** and ban everybody at the drop of a hat.. We can't for one second think we can just DEPEND on them for our well-being. Either they change their ways or they're going down regardless of what they want to do to me or any of my accounts. They don't control my life!

Everyone needs to relax, all the press the boycott has gotten has served it purpose. Ebay now knows it pissing off sellers and buyers alike. not a smart move, even for a illegal monopoly.
Just keep doing what your are doing, screwing them and paypal as best you can while we still continue to pool our info to defeat the trust and safety measures. Ebay makes the rules and holds all the cards, but their main weakness is that they need us as both buyers and sellers to have access to their site to make money.

You need to get the Ebay Pacifier out of your mouth and quit depending on them as if it was your last breath. There is life after Ebay u know

lol @ Chris

Ok, I am on a mission now. U say spread the word and I'm on it. Keep an eye on the member counts because it is about to go up!

Cool Thats What We Need.!!!!! We Need More People Like You...(sorry For Caps)

Thanks! I am totally on a mission and am going to spread this forum like wildfire.

Listen goofy, I dont need ebay as a source of income. You really need the pacifier as you love to act like some little baby when someone goes against what crap you spew. I for one have never fell for your little tricks and I for one cannot stand the way the screw over people.

You are not to be trusted by no means, you have done more harm to this site then good their little buddy and have chased off many good people with your intentions of no good.

If anyone is as good as your pretend you sure wouldnt be wasting your time showing the rest of us all your so successful and we are not.

I built and ebay business bigger and better then anything you have ever done in your useless life, I built it on trust with people and gave them what they paid for, something you have a fine reputation of NOT going.

The only thing you have going for you is that you have the newbies you sucker into your little trap.

I have aleady earned my living and retired thank you and dont need ebay as a full time job and never did like some do, but you can bet when someone needs help I give them straight answers and not some run around trying to find a way to screw them over like your no good intentions are. I earned my living the honest way their Chrissy, how have you earned yours. Nevermind I know the answer.

I smelled something stinky on you months ago, your all mouth and no show.

It is easy to see you cannot stand someone that stand ups to you.

You have ran into a brick wall with this one because I know what your about.

Your an ASSet to this forum alright. How about going and spewing your wrongful intentions so the rest of us dont have to listen to you bull.

I am sorry Aspkin but this guy it totally up to no good and wants to pull your good site into trouble and I personally feel its for his own good and not yours.

spot on, spot on.

Exactly. rep added :)

Folks..Chris is out for Chris..Period. I don't trust him anymore + I smell a Rat in all of this..look beyond the Trees,People..;)

I think Chris works for ebay.... :p

^^HAHA Time of month?? Uhm I been in this forum since day 1 and know Aspkin +Modee well


I have given superb advice when needed but now is a time for a change . I say lets go after Ebay. You all are no talk. You say you want a new auction , you cant stand Ebay bla bla bla but when it comes down to it all you can do is is blame another fellow member for your faults...You should all be ashmed of yourself..

PS
Look at my rep.. Funny how I have more rep then all of you thats talking out of the side of your month

Come off it Chris.

You ARE Meg, aren't you?

I could always sense something camp about you. :D

Why should we be ashamed?

There you go again, going after anyone who goes against your thoughts.

LOOK IN THE MIRROR once is a while you will see the person who has a hidden agenda and the one that really should be ashamed of himself.

Many of us know what your up to and its a shame only the newbies who dont know any better follow your little games and get suckered into your web of deceit.

So, tell us Chris, whats in this for you? Afterall that is what your really after.

People ask for help and dont expect to be scammed.

WTF are u talking about ^^^^^^

But anyway back to the topic

what a wasted effort trying to shackle the eBay beast

what do you think a few hundred sellers do against them ?

nothing absolutley nothing

Tiny, tiny cogs in one massive global wheel,

233,000,000 registered users worldwide

Well lets keep the figures easy and say 1,000 folks unite

Now what percent of impact does that make ?



..........hhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........... ..... theres not enough digits on my calculator !


eBay is out for eBay and once it sees things are ideal and its loosing money $$$ it will change and change again

well in my personal opinion, i watched everybody in here complain about eBay this eBay that...I mean look at the post on the forum everybody got a issue...then someone comes up with a idea to help the situation...and everybody runs for cover.

Also look at PayPalSucks.com is where you will learn about the PayPal Class Action Lawsuit, Abuse, Fraud & evil behind the PayPal system! , they are a big site against Ebay and Paypal. Paypal even tried to buy out the site owner but since he already have big time dough he said NO..

Wha tharm has come from them being so popular, nothing

"They got the Guns but We got the Numbers"

hi
 

I dunno its not worth risking!

Sellers need to unite and all start selling at another site.

But for an auction site to be good, the new one must have no feedback ratings, just comments.

i wouldn't trust that guy as far as i could throw him. from the 1st day i came to this site, about a month ago, i knew he was no good. he is only here to swindle people and insult everyone else. he's following a pipe dream. he's insulted me once, now he thinks i'm going to jump on his boat of idealistic dreams and follow him to a waste of time.

i think i'll just use my time else where, and make some money on ebay while i can. there's only one person in this world you can rely on, and that's yourself. right now ebay is the best alternative for me and what i sell, so i will keep a low profile and sell my product there.

a week long boycot is a joke, because the sellers who take part in it are just going to list twice as much next week to recoop their losses from this week.

Yeah, I think you need to divide the number by 100, that is at least as many buying and selling accounts as I have open in the last 10 years, and I am only one person.
Real number is probably closer to 80 million legit and active USA users at any time.
