drohani — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:56:30 GMT

long read but worth it when they expose themselves to be useless pathetic morons who can only cut and paste paragraphs from the help pages of the ebay website!

What IS eBay?

KimCrow — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 14:22:06 GMT

Interesting commentary from Businessweek on eBay's murkey identity. Billing themselves these days as the place to get "it," some wonder if they are trying to be too many things to too many people, and if they've strayed too far from their roots as a marketplace (Paypal, Skype, StubHub and likely more acquisitions on the way).

eBay overhauling feedback system

soc — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 13:13:52 GMT

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/business/2008/02/06/janis.uk.ebay.big.changes.cnn

This is going to be a big mistake for ebay. Many buyers will leave negative feedback for sellers for any little thing, even if undeserved, because they have nothing to lose.

Check out amazon.com sellers (same thing with them). Many are in the high 80% and low 90%.

But here's the difference; ebay is not changing its seller performance policy, so there are going to be a LOT of NARU sellers over this.

I hope they've screwed themselves.

ARTIFAKERS Removed from eBay!!!

imgonnagetusucka — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 01:05:11 GMT

Imgonnagetusucka is proud to say that the following LOSERS are GONE from EBAY

ROCKS4-U....

ANTIQUES67.....

Both were NARU as of 6-27-07. Seems scams and fraud will soon catch up with you. Defrauding THOUSANDS of dollars from ebayers and finally eBay made a move! Awesome work ebay staff...You saved many buckaroos and sleepless nights from other honest traders. I dont know for sure the reason cause im not an ebay employee but shill bidding, and avoidance of fees comes to mind on the private auctions.

Winchester41....

Ebay removed his listings Saturday, he came back with new ones Sunday...All stating clearly in the title and description..... REPRODUCTION arrowheads.

As for a few others I cant see any changes yet. But there is some thing s ebay will not allow and when the evidence is so clear your gone!

So dont shill bid, or avoid fees by having brother Bob run your bids up to reflect your actual reserve prices...Kinda slaps ebay in the face and out of 2-4 bucks an Auction!

hey.....IGOTUSUCKA!

Make sure you search for your auction

soc — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 22:47:13 GMT

Not getting any hits on your auctions? Make sure you search for them using only a couple of keywords. I had one that never got any hits and towards the end of the auction I tried doing searches and it would not come up. I complained and got my insertion fee back, but n ow I've got two other auctions for popular items that always sell big not getting any hits.
