strange, the thread about fees going up is now locked or is it just an eBay concern (that’s not their style) to keep certain "pain in the necks, pebbles in the shoe, or people who stop increases from going round" from coming to spill their bile here

OP2 years agohello @*miss-tigri*
it's not a big deal, anyway they weren't looking for a debate, basically they informed us that they were piling new burdens on us, maybe it's deliberate to drive out small sellers who aren't profitable enough
have a good day

·2 years agoHello.
To answer some who are surprised in another thread (broken) by the lack of reactions, I didn't react, except with a few "darn it"s because:
1) I use this site as a buyer, I have nothing to sell. I don't know the ins and outs of sellers' problems and I'd rather stick to what they have to say better than I can.
2) I take part in and will gladly take part in the e-bay forum. (hi, @frelonverre , @*miss-tigri* and the others)
Not in U-bu's, cornegidouille!!
Best regards.

OP2 years agohello @nareio
you know I haven't sold on ebay for years anymore, disgusted as I am with the conditions the site imposes on sellers, always more constraints and less freedom, no protection from the site, priority given to these dear buyers fed on nice words and security (kind of in step with the times in the world, anyway)
on the other hand it's hard to bid when you're using a VPN, the only possible protection is the one provided by the site, so buyers and sellers are trapped
sorry, I don't accept

·2 years agoMe neither, I haven't sold on eBay since they started requiring access to my bank account 🥴
Here, I used to like putting things up for auction when I didn't know the value of the item, but oh well, I've adapted ..
I do a few sales on LBC and v.i.nted, that suits me for now ..
Have a good day, everyone.
