ebay & PP staff & manager are running same your business

[cohiba72]

i am sure 100% and believe that there is a lot of employee mybe managers at ebay and PP are running business or partners on similar to our business and the they see that we are a big competitors to them they will start shut down our business,by starting verification,limitation,investigation,holding the money,reducing the monthly items qty that we can sell etc... and from paypal they will start the same procedure,i cant believe that some sellers are selling on ebay with a million of items without any limitation without any stop without any difficults and you can see 5000 negative feedback given in 1 month .

So their ebay rating is 98.6% positive..... That's pretty damn good if you ask me.

You have to look at ratios. They might have 2000 negative, but that's out of probably 200,000 sales. that would be like someone with 100 sales a year getting 1 negative feedback.

my ebay real seller account rating 99.6% created on 2009 and I have over 4000 positive feedback ,last month i had 1 case only from a buyer "liar" and they reduce my account from 5000$ monthly to 1500$,i called them few times but they refused to increase .

There is absolutely no reason why they would reduce your limit, let alone that much, over 1 case. Why were you only at $5000 after 9 years and 4000 feedback? That makes no sense.

Yeah, something is fishy about these details.

For that kind of a reduction there's a lot more going on than we're being told.

That's kind of high tbh, but nothing that would necessitate a limit reduction. Whats the defect rate, late shipment rate, dispute rate, category youre selling in, etc? Those all play a bigger role

when you get to that many sales everyday, you're even more likely to make mistakes. Because you have employees that make mistakes. It's much much harder to keep everyone happy. Most normal people would try to fix those negatives. The big guys couldn't give a crap, nor do they have the time to.

These days it seems as if the only people who leave feedback are unhappy people, so these percentages look different than they were when us old-timers started out.

In the good old days 98.6% was a red flag. Now it means a lot less unless everybody is saying the same thing over and over again.

The excitement on eBay is gone. So less positives unless you ask for it.
And it's human nature that people are negative and would only speak up when they are unhappy.

100% TRUE. Not worth wasting time on. It is feedback for good grief. It means nothing to anyone anymore. My most profitable accounts are always 98-99% when you sell a few thousand items a month or week, etc...last thing you worry about it fixing feedback from miserable or ignorant people. It is basically an utter waste of time and resources and most importantly, ebay or other buyers could not care much less.

I have found this to be fairly accurate also mate.

I bribe my buyers since I sell digital goods It costs me nothing for what I bribe them with.

10 Accounts all over 600 Feedback now within 6 Months.

[dallis]

Since no feedback is counted the same as positive and all 5 stars, and feedback no longer counts towards your metrics, why bribe people?

A case of fuzzy logic indeed...

[Play]

Its rare for monthly limits to be reduced. Its only done in extreme cases, i.e. your DSR/metrics have been under performing. This could be as a result of late deliveries, unsatisfied buyers etc.

Good to have backup accounts for digital sales...
