Ebay is being ruined by dishonest Buyers taking it out on Small Sellers
trying to make a living in small scale sales. I have 5/4.9/4.9/4.9 star
ratings yet eBay has stolen my 20% discount because a few people leave all
1's to HARM the seller. Sellers do not have a say in leaving appropriate
feedback for a dishonest buyer or a non-smooth transaction with a buyer or
communication with the dishonest buyers who are looking for something for
nothing. The Feedback and Seller Dashboard is being used to get rid of the
small scale sellers on ebay. Ebay is filled with dishonesty and Ebay allows
Character Defamation that would not be allowed in Courts to be written on
Feedback left for others and Ebay is not willing to remove such unnecessary
feedback that should not be left. I have had people tell me I am rude, I am
not; crazy, I am not; Fowl language and name calling should not be allowed
by Ebay. Since when did ebay get to be a feedback attack mechanism vs.
auction based site. I feel that ebay only wants Power Sellers, huge quantity
sellers and wants to outs the little guys. Ebay is getting so frustrating
and aggravating to try and sell on. I am upset selling on ebay because of
all the dishonest feedback that ebay allows from dishonest buyers seeking
something for nothing. I buy all my items on ebay from other sellers and
re-sale them on ebay on a small scale. I do not know any wholesalers and not
trying to become a millionaire on ebay. I sell enough and buy more than I
sell. I feel that ebay wins both ways with my buying and selling on ebay.
Ebay is on the verge of loosing me as a Seller and even Huge Buyer on ebay
because of them allowing all the dishonest buyers leaving untruthful
feedback. When you have many happy customers or buyers for the same item and
then you get this one that decides to leave negative or neutral feedback on
the same item all of which are NEW and unopened packages as you would buy at
any retail location it upsets and ruins your seller worthiness and Seller
Dashboard. This is not right in the manner in which EBAY has things setup
with the content of feedback or the Seller Dashboard. Power Sellers are
Sellers who sell on a large scale. Ebay is looking for quantity over quality
when you Power Sell on Ebay. Ebay is making me feel like a non-worthy human
being. I am as ethical a person as there is, nothing but the truth comes
from me, even when the truth hurts..whatever it still is the truth...not
with the last three buyers that have left me negative and neutral feedback
and Ebay is not willing to correct the feedback. I have never left any fowl
language in a message, called someone crazy; but I have said that some
peoples actions are ridiculous. I feel that Ebay is trying to get away from
becoming an auction site and being a BUY IT NOW Site that offers all it's
buyers free shipping. I can not offer my buyers free shipping and more
people that come to Ebay are looking for the bidding and buying of items
than BUY IT NOW. I myself do not even look at the BUY IT NOW ITEMS. I bid
and buy all my items or 99.9%, unless a Seller wants to setup a BUY IT NOW
for items I sell.

I am Seller: wildbirdie49 on Ebay come over and look at my items.

It is a thankless task, but somebody has got to do it.

You don't have any items for sale, in fact, you haven't sold anything
in the past 9 months.
What a nut case...

I'd suggest starting to sell large scales as the profit margin is
better. Those small scales are a real pain to ship, too, as they are so
sensitive.

I am afraid that eBay allows honest buyers to defame sellers, also.

By your own admisssion, you only sell poultry amounts on ebay, so
what's the problem?
