ebays plan

[djmuggs]

eBay's plan is to ban all sellers that are not POWERSELLERS.
They will suspend you for any reason now that theres "abusing ebay" policy out there. And they LOVE it. Suspending the small seller will boost powerseller's profits, therefore more ebay fees. They also know that if they get rid of most of the smaller sellers the chances of there be con artists on ebay will be cut in half.

eBay loves its buyers, could care less about individual sellers, and praises the powersellers.

If I were in charge of ebay, id most likely do the same to keep ebay a place that scammers/counter-feiters can stay away from.

Is this your own theory?
If not, where did you get this info?

Either way they do seem to be heading that way.

[yogarelax]

They are being JackAsses.

I think this is his own theory. Because there are a lot of ex powersellers here including me that ebay cared nothing about. Ebay doesn't care who you are. I think it is more about the ones with the most money and well established business reputations that ebay loves. They forget it is the little guy that made ebay what it is today.

as said, ebay only cares about them selfs period.

its still possible to make money not being a powerseller, you just get less chances when it comes to VERO and other violations thats why you gotta be smart about it.

HI: Nah.... PS get their share of the Nastygrams as well.... And the Suspensions,
Just you know how many you can push the limit for if youre a PS...i.e. 7, every 60 days, 5 every 60 days,etc..

Ebay wants to get rid of small sellers and powersellers.

[GreenBean]

If that happens what will ebay have?

[mantisinc]

A sore arse?

[yahhtrick]

eBay dosent care about powersellers either. On my old account I was doing 20000 a month in sales and was a gold powerseller. I got suspended. It is all a joke.

[djmuggs]

i want to see them suspend one of the big sellers like <everydaysource> or something... now thatll be funny

[imjustme]

The problem eBay has is that it has gotten too big. They can't control it anymore so they will suspend you for the slightest suspicion they have that you might do something wrong in the future. Think of it like Bush invading countries that might one day be a threat.

eBay can suspend 5,000 sellers per day, they will get 10,000 more sellers every day anyways. The bottom line is that they got too big.

[GreenBean]

Nothing funny about any PS who has tried hard to achieve their rating being suspended, nothing at all.

[Ballsack]

It's only not funny to the seller. The person on the other who's doing the suspending is a whole other story.

Ebay should talk to WalMart.... They also got too big. I worked for The LImited for 10 years.... Our CEO, Les Wexner, decided the business was too big for him to keep an eye on.... He closed stores , made the business so HE knew exactly what was happening, and ... you guesed it.. things went much smoother. The money rolled in.... Too big can be a problem!!

About eBay's size, at least eBay isn't running on Perl anymore.

[ebay-sucks]

I know the limited and Wexner, he could teach ebay allot. Made millions from nothing and has happy employees and happy customers.
Many think we is a genius. Smooth running business!
