 Another genuine seller added to the restricted clan!
Unfortunately I have been at the receiving end of eBays disgusting treatment of its breadwinners. Account holder for 7 years with 2100+ positive feedbacks, 34 positives in the last month but 4 low shipping stars in the last 3 months... Yet ive not had feedback for 60 transactions in the last month because, as we all know, eBay is a failing monopoly... and a lot of its users wont leave feedback and another lot of its users are uneducated in the feedback system and what it can do to a decent seller, as ebay fail to inform them.
Example... Dave joins ebay to buy some goods... He buys two items, one from the one seller who ships via courier the next day, another from another seller who ships the next day with Royal Snail... Result is one seller gets the thumbs up yet the other seller seems worse than the first as Royal Snail took 3 days to deliver. The buyer has no idea what the star system is other than it asking them what they think of the sellers shipping time... Which Dave decides the first seller who used a courier is great and the seller who used Royal Snail took longer, so he leaves low marks... How would Dave know what the star system means to honest sellers... eBay never told him!
I know im not the only one here who hates eBay, ive seen a seller who joined in the 90's and he got banned for the same thing a couple of years ago, slow shipping.... A member from the start, with glowing feedback and glowing sales... Yet couldnt ship next day due to his work... They treat a member like that so bad, yet fail to educate its new buyers, so ive no expectations of getting my account back.
What I do want to know, is whats happening about it? Why is no action being taken, wheres the legal cases... eBay was created for its users, not for the Inc to get richer. Which is why im pissed at them treating us like were not important.
I just need to know what eBay is doing to its good, honest members, and why are they doing this? If I had negs for selling broken or ⊗⊗⊗⊗ goods, then yes BAN ME! But I havent, im a good seller with 1 neg in the last 12 months from a buyer who bought the wrong sized clothes, even though I refunded and let him keep them for someone else to try in his circle of family or friends.
Ive also just been informed that ebay are now telling buyers about sellers handling times... So why are sellers that have always provided handling times via eBays own system still being treated like scum? The star system has been around a while, sellers have been able to put 5 days handling time on their sales yet eBay dont care.... Buyers have been leaving low scores on a system that eBay havent even finished, or know what they are doing with, but they are still willing to punish honest sellers... Even though its their own system that doesnt work!
Honestly... Im lost for words at the moment, all night things have been coming into my head that annoy me... The result is that eBay and their own system is a complete failure, a system that has put sellers out of business and then rules that come forward which would have meant the sellers were in the right yet have never been reinstated...
Wheres the legal action?
eBay has pretty much ruined my life today... My family, my kids, myself... Will all suffer... Why? Because eBay has rules they dont even understand or can control themselves!
