Ebay are bullying people, us sellers, who make them money and it is evident on this site.
Things like accounts getting banned for no reason or banning all household accounts for 'a link' such as same IP.
What other sites are good enough to take ebays place?
What is ebid like? Or google shopping?

Take down ebay?
Along with me there are thousands of other users on this forum who earn income from eb so no thank you. What do you think this site is for? obviously to get around the bans, staying under radar, making new accs, etc.. so obviously your doing something wrong that your mad, i know eb can be a noob.
You think its that easy to take down eb and just switch to sites like ebid or google ..LOL.

Who said it is easy?
Will obviously take a long time, spread the word etc
Anything i want to buy i go to amazon first to see if i can buy it from there.
I still make money on ebay therefore there needs to be a replacement for ebay where we can transfer our business too not stop altogether. The whole sneaking around thing isn't right- permanent life bans from the site are not on. I'm sure most will learn their lesson for 1 year bans etc.

What other sites are good enough to take ebays place?
What is ebid like? Or google shopping? | First of all why in the heck would you want to take them down?
Many of us make a very good income from ebay.
Dont like them and their ways but they make me a lot of money and others as well.
You will never take them down, they are too strong and too big.
Others will compete and only google can take a large chunk of their business if they decide to ever get into it.
No matter why you want them to go down how about learning other ways to sell.
I sell on etsy, craigslist, amazon and a few other sites and have a customer based of ebay buyers over many years I sell direct to.
We all know eb is a pita but if you are willing to learn how to play the game YOU can be in the driver seat making some crazy money.
I dont ever wish bad on others and to take ebay down would destroy many peoples incomes and that is not a good thing.

The funny thing is that by "raping ebay" or taking the down, your lining there pockets.
The only way we could hurt them is to all of us combined stop selling & making them 2 million a month just of us stealthers
The truth.

You get days that you just wished EB vanished, but the main thing is never give up.
I mean, i have seen over this forum that many people are kicked of no reason....
Sandy is right, YOU are the driver...just do not let them get to you and learn alot on these forums

Myron why you are so angry about ebay? Ebay has a great traffic that other sites don't
''Things like accounts getting banned for no reason'' does not exist
If your accounts are getting banned i guess you are doing something wrong
Educate yourself and learn as much as you can from aspkin and i am sure you will see things differently
Wish you good luck

Not only are Ebay and PP not going away, they are gettting larger. Both are doing record revenue and record profits.
Learn to ADAPT or YOU may end up going away.

You might aswell try and take down Walmart while you're at it... good luck.
We're a TINY fraction of ebay users/sellers here, nothing we can do can, or will ever make an impact.

You have to do what you got to do.
So many people rely on ebay for income even though we know they are one of the poorest ran businesses I have ever ran across.

| I hear you about ebay. I know full well its horrors.
It's a Catch 22.
I always made bluidy good money on ebay.
Now, thanks to this forum, I've tripled what I make.
Do I want ebay taken down?
Do I want hell to freeze over?
NO.
You would appear to be at that mind set of anger. Put that away. Be proactive for yourself.
Milk the ebay cow so that YOU reap the money. Never be controlled by ebay.
Get over the victim part.
Changing your approach will open the way to trading on other venues.
I have added etsy, amazon to mine. The day is not long enough to do the business I want to do.
And that is simply because I made the choice of Get Knotted ebay. I will never let you beat me.
Just DO IT |

Without eBay, I could not have payed cash for the woman of my life, my Toyota Prius. Now on to bigger and better things for the future, more eBay accounts.

Remember my friend....It is always business and never personal...When Ebay bans you they dont even care who you are, what color you are, what religion you claim, or if you have kids or not...You are just a tool to them so you should look at them as a tool as well...I look at Ebay as something that I can pimp to make me money...Most people on this site look at Ebay as an unbeaten force that no company can overtake but I look at Ebay as my prostitute, something that I can put on the corner and even in my sleep she will make me money...What can I say, ebay is my woman lol When Ebay dies another company will take the throne and many people will dislike them and many people will find a way to create stealth accounts. It never stops so stop look at them as an enemy but as an opportunity my friend....

Some funny posts ITT
Thanks for the motivation.
I just wish they weren't so harsh with the perma life ban.
And seller team keep playing about with me. Paypal say call ebay your limit problem is with them and ebay say no its paypal. They are takin the p*ss so just need to go full stealth now buy the book and go from there.
It's true i know people make alot of money i have myself- and would probably not be able to afford alot of things i can being a student and may not have had the motivation to start a business if it wasn't for the crazy sales on ebay.
I was merely wishing for a competitor we could transfer to which would enable us to have a second chance under our real identities. You know, the whole monopoly thing where companies take advantage of the lack of competition by doing whatever the f they want!

If google makes an auction / e-merchant website...
eBay would be done!
But, we can only wish!
