Ebay

[Jeff Walton]

Wonder why ebay has made selling less attractive?  Fees like 13-15%.  Add another 3-4% for Paypal.  Recent fees attached

Lots of other nickel and diming, like charging fees on sales tax, subtotal when bidding/offering doesnt include tax, lowest priced items are sometimes hidden when sorting by lowest, shipping cost is ignored when filtering by price, etc

I have lots of searches set up. Ebay keeps changing the layout of the emails. For a while we got the shipping as well as the price but that didn't last long. Now the pictures and text have suddenly gotten arbitrarily larger and I have to make the windows bigger and bigger just to read them. As if my screen wasn't cluttered enough already.

They also got rid of feedback on the purchase page. You don't know if a seller has given you feedback without going back and forth and trying to match a purchase with a seller. How is that supposed to improve anything?

And then there's the sold listings in the watchlist. They're now surrounded by "suggestions" for "similar" items that I could care less about. It's all about through as much shit in your eyes as possible because they want spontaneous sales. Screw buyers with hundred of positive feedbacks over the last 33 years.

I have bad eyesight. Does the Americans With Disabilities Act apply to these clowns? Or <insert the latest politics here>?

Smells like a Flea-bay tariff. I suspect it's a way to "compete" against Amazon and AliExpress . It's been quite awhile since I sold anything on Ebay because the fees and hassles just aren't worth it to me anymore.
