eBay Seller Goes Berzerk at eBay Live: Outraged Sellers Game New System To Survive
Henry Blodget | June 23, 2008 3:00 PM

Picture 18.pngBattered eBay (EBAY) is getting an earful from sellers outraged about new feedback and product-search policies. For example, there was the episode below at the recent eBay Live seller conference, in which a seller/heckler shut a presentation down. (The audio's hard to hear, but the video will give you a feel for the state of eBay-seller relations these days.)

I'm about to go Berzerk at paypal.. They have been freezing my account, blocking funds sent to me and "investigating" them holding them for up to a month.. They limited my purchasing to only credit cards no bank transers and I have NEVER had a complaint against me or any other issues..

Theres really almost no point selling on there anymore. things go so cheaply, its sick. You as a seller feel so held up by the feedback restrictions your just praying the buyers are in a good mood 100 percent of the time or your jobbed big time. The fees are outrageous, paypal is a joke...oh well lol. The only point to go on there anymore, is to try and find items selling for 1/4 their normal value (and with the new search being so horrible, you can do that at times)...now is the golden time to buy on ebay, but i feel bad for anyone trying to sell there. You might as well just give this stuff away.
