eBay Says They WIll No Longer Hold Sellers Responsible for Postal Delays

[jeffweico]

I think I just went into shock. I'm holding my cellphone in one hand as I type this, with one finger on the EMERGENCY button!

RARELY has news THIS SHOCKING come across my screen!

An article on Ecommercebytes.com claims that eBay will no longer be handing out defects to sellers when the US Postal Service experiences delays beyond the seller's control! WTF??? This is EBAY we are talking about! They blame small sellers for EVERYTHING! Here is a link so you can see the article for yourself:

eBay to Change the Way Sellers Earn Shipping Defects

Am I missing something here? I got SLAUGHTERED last Christmas because of the delays experienced due to the postal service. eBay's attitude was that we should have used another shipping method! And now that is changing???

This is some great great news wish this was implemented years ago!

Good news.

Makes me wonder about a phone call conversation I had with eBay several months ago.

Was told some good changes are coming for the sellers

Let's just hope it is indeed some good news!

The only day when I call 911 on myself is when ebay lowers their selling fees.

But this indeed is good news, its a start.

They need to generate revenue since split. Now they only have sellers fees to rely on and duh they need us!

Oh yea the split, I keep forgetting about that. Crap, then I guess some fees are going to go up. The old ways of nickel and dime(ing) sellers to death.
