Oooooh, how generous of these corporate bigwigs to donate a cut of their salary to this publicity campaign. Haha, who am I kidding? These grants come from the fees that they jacked up off of sellers (including everybody’s favorites: fees on your postage, fees on the taxes that buyers pay to their states, etc.) So enjoy, you lucky 50 small fries you!
Go ahead fools and you will forever be tied to sleaze bay.
I think ebay has that back wards, they need to pay someone who knows how to sell online to help them fix their awful site.
Wow, not, eBay has been milking the small sellers for a long time now and they will be milking them more when June 01st arrives thru the new fee that will be added in the promoted listing, and to add to the injuries, the “eBay platform is letting buyers scam/fraud sellers and eBay is awarding all the cases no matter what proof you bring to the table : pictures of the item returned, police report, etc.. they tell you to appeal but it’s just another lie to the sellers, all the customer has to do is file a payment dispute and it does not matter what proof you bring to eBay/paypal because the payment dispute is most likely through PayPal which is owned by eBay (Piere omidyar), for 13 years working with PayPal to handle our payments we never heard of payment disputes ever, now 2 years with eBay under payment management as they call it, 3 payment disputes all awarded to the buyer (high value items $700+) they give them your money and they let them keep the merchandise so eBay is passing those losses to you the seller, the first payment dispute the scammer said “where’s my refund” in his comments I contacted eBay to no avail with tracking # that shows item delivered, appealed and appealed no luck, I even started protecting myself and sending a return shipping label to the scammers to show eBay/PayPal that I demand my item returned back to me, all 3 cases awarded to the buyers: money and merchandise loss of more than $2000, and they claim seller protection it’s wrongly labeled it should be called : eBay scammer protection. All sellers be aware
eBay has been letting buyers scam sellers at high rates through payment disputes, you can appeal as they say but it’s a lie and they claim seller protection it’s mislabeled and should be called : eBay scammer protection
